The Scope of Biology
Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.
![Page 2: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
objective
Identify major organizational levels of life. From global scale to microscopic scale

Biosphere
Global scaleBiosphere consists of three parts that are
inhabited by living things: Most regions of land Most bodies of water (oceans, lakes, rivers) Atmosphere (altitude of several kilometers)

Ecosystems
Ecosystem-the community of living things in an area, along with nonliving features of the environment that support the living community.Ex. Woodland are (park)
Living: trees, plants, animals, bacteria
Nonliving: sunlight, water, air, soil All of Earth’s ecosystems combined make up
the biosphere
![Page 5: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Organisms
Organisms- individual living things
Microorganisms- microscopic organisms
Interactions among the organisms of a community make each ecosystem a dynamic place.

Cells
Cells- life’s basic units of structure and function. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
Ex, a cell of a leaf interior is ~25 μm across It would take more than 700 of these cells to reach
across a penny Cells contain even smaller structures

DNA and Genes
DNA and Genes are found inside the nucleus of a cell
Atoms- the basic building blocks of all materials (living and nonliving)
Molecule- formed when atoms bond together
![Page 8: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DNA and Genes
DNA- a molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid) responsible for inheritance
Inheritance-the passing on of traits from parent organisms to their offspring
A DNA molecule contains the instructions for a cell to make all the other molecules it needs to function.
Genes-units of inherited information along the length of each DNA molecule

Diversity of organisms
Species-distinct form of life1.5 million species have been identified,
new species are discovered almost daily!
![Page 11: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Number of identified species
5,000bacteria
8,600 birds
30,000fish
100,000 fungi
280,000 plants
1,000,000 insects
There are also thousands of species of:
Amphibians
Reptiles
Mammals
![Page 12: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Classifying Life
The taxonomic scheme classifies species into groups subordinate to more comprehensive groups.
Species that are very similar are placed in the same genus, genera are grouped into families, and so on, each level of classification being more comprehensive than those it includes.

Domains of Life
Domain- the broadest category in classifying life forms
Three Domains: Archaea Bacteria Eukarya
![Page 15: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Archaea and Bacteria organisms are mostly unicellular (bodies consist of a single cell).
These cells lack nuclei (DNA is not separated from the rest of the cell)
Prokaryotic cell- cells without nuclei, simple cells
![Page 16: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Domains are divided into kingdoms.Domain Eukarya has four kingdoms:
Protists Fungi Plants Animals
Eukaryotic cells- contain nuclei that separate DNA from the rest of the cell
Some protists, most fungi and all plants and animals are multicellular
All organisms of these four
kingdoms consist of eukaryotic
cells!
![Page 17: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ten themes unify the study of life!!!Themes apply to all species and to all levels of organization
1. Biological systems2. Cellular basis of life3. Form and function4. Reproduction and inheritance5. Interaction with environment6. Energy and life7. Regulation8. Adaptation and evolution9. Biology and society10. Scientific inquiry
![Page 18: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Biological Systems
System-comprised of a combination of parts to form a more complex organization based on the arrangements and interactions of its parts.
![Page 19: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Cellular Basis of Life
All organisms are made of cellsCells can be specialized for different
functions and are organized into higher levels of organization.
Nerve cellNerve tissue
Organ Nervous system
![Page 20: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Form and Function
Structure and function go hand in hand!!!Consider:
Surface Area Movement Physical attributes
![Page 21: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reproduction and Inheritance
Inherited information in the form of DNA enables organisms to reproduce their own kind.
![Page 22: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Interaction with the Environment
As part of an ecosystem, each organism interacts continuously with its environment.
“inputs” and “outputs”Two major processes:
Cycling of nutrients Flow of energy from sunlight to photosynthetic
life to organisms that feed on plants
![Page 23: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Energy and Life
Producers- produce the food upon which the entire ecosystem depends (plants and other photosynthetic organisms)
Consumers- animals and other organisms that eat the food made by the producers
![Page 24: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Regulation
Homeostasis or “steady state”Mechanisms of homeostasis enable
organisms to regulate their internal environment, despite changes in their external environment.
![Page 25: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Adaptation and Evolution
Adaptation- an inherited trait that helps the organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in its particular environment
Population- a localized group of organisms belonging to the same species
Natural selection- natural environment “selects” certain inherited traits
![Page 26: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Evolution
Natural selection is the mechanism by which evolution occurs.
Evolution- “a process of change” A generation to generation change in the
proportion of different inherited genes in a population
![Page 27: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Biology and Society
Impacts that the application of biology have on society: Stem cell research Animal cloning Environmental issues Genetically modified crops treating disease Antibiotic resistance
![Page 28: The Scope of Biology Ten Themes Unify The Study of Life.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e405503460f94b315b0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Scientific Inquiry
Scientific inquiry involves asking questions about nature and then using observations or experiments to find possible answers to those questions.
