8 Invitation to Biology

9 Biology Ø Bios = life (from Greek) Ø -logy/-ology = scientific study of a subject Ø Biology = scientific study of life

10 The word science is derived from a Latin word scire meaning to know, to understand Science: The systematic study of the observable world and how it works Science is both a body of knowledge and the process to acquire this knowledge Critical thinking is a big part of science judging information before accepting it

11 Scientific Method Process consisting of a series of steps used to make, test and evaluate hypotheses Ø Is not a rigid procedure Ø Based on evidence

12 Steps of the Scientific Method Pose a scientific question

13 Hypothesis: testable explanation of a natural phenomenon/educated guess Prediction: statement about a condition that should occur if the hypothesis is correct

14 Experiment: test designed to support or falsify a prediction Variable: a characteristic or event that differs among individuals or over time Independent variable: condition or treatment controlled by the experimenter/ treatment Dependent variable: observed result that is influenced by the independent variable

15 Experimental group: receive a certain treatment or have certain characteristics Control group: identical to an experimental group, but without exposure to the independent variable Sample size and replications

16

17 Butterflies and Birds Researchers investigated whether certain peacock butterfly behaviors defend them against predatory birds

18 Initial observations: When a peacock butterfly rests, it folds its wings, so only the dark underside shows When a butterfly sees a predator approaching, it flicks its wings open, producing a hissing sound and a series of clicks

19 Ø First hypothesis: wing-flicking exposes brilliant spots that resemble owl eyes Ø Second hypothesis: hissing and clicking sounds may be an additional defense that deters predatory birds

20 Experimental design: u Paint the wing spots of some butterflies black u Remove sound-making wing part of others u Apply both treatments Ø Place butterfly into cage with a hungry blue tit Ø Observe for 30 minutes

21

22 Conclusions: Ø The test results supported the hypotheses Ø Predatory birds are indeed deterred by peacock butterfly sounds, and even more so by wing spots

23 Inductive reasoning: drawing a conclusion based on many specific observations Deductive reasoning: using a general idea to make a conclusion about a specific case

24 More Terms relating to scientific inquiries Sampling error Probability Statistically significant Scientific Theory Law of nature

25 Limitations of Science Science addresses only testable ideas about observable events and processes It does not address anything that is not testable, such as beliefs and opinions

26 Forms of Life Share Common Properties Ø Order Ø Energy and nutrients Ø Response to stimuli Ø Homeostasis Ø Use of DNA as hereditary material during reproduction Ø Growth and development Ø Evolutionary adaptation

27 Order Life has nested levels of organization Specific organization of components in a biological system and their interaction give rise to emergent properties

28 Emergent Properties New properties that arise in each step upward in the hierarchy of life as a result of interactions between components and proper arrangement of components An organism is a living whole greater than the sum of its parts

29 A Closer Look at Biological Organization Life organization extends from the microscopic scale of atoms and molecules to the global scale of the biosphere

30 A Hierarchy of Biological Organization Ø Atom Ø Molecule/ Biological Molecules Ø Organelle/Cell* Cells are the fundamental units of life Ø Tissue Ø Organ

31 Ø Organ system Ø Organism (Beyond the level of organisms) Ø Population Ø Community Ø Ecosystem* Producers Consumers Decomposers Physical environment Ø Biosphere

32 Nutrients and Energy Processing Nutrient: substance acquired from the environment and required for growth and survival Why do organisms need energy? Ø Power activities and chemical reactions How do organisms obtain energy? Ø Producers Ø Consumers

33 producer acquiring energy and nutrients from the environment consumer acquiring energy and nutrients by eating a producer

34 ENERGY IN SUNLIGHT 3 Producers harvest energy from the environment. Some of that energy flows from producers to consumers. PRODUCERS plants and other self-feeding organisms 4 Nutrients that get incorporated into the cells of producers and consumers are eventually released back into the environment (by decomposition, for example). Producers then take up some of the released nutrients. CONSUMERS animals, most fungi, many protists, bacteria 5 All of the energy that enters the world of life eventually flows out of it, mainly as heat released back to the environment.

35 Response to Environment Response to a stimulus

36 Homeostasis Living organisms have the ability to maintain a stable internal body environment even in the face of a fluctuating external environment

37 Living Organisms Use DNA Ø DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) carries hereditary information that guides: Ø Development: multistep process by which the first cell of a new multicelled organism gives rise to an adult Ø Growth: increase in the number, size, and volume of cells Ø Reproduction: processes by which individuals produce offspring

38 Ø Inheritance: transmission of DNA to offspring Ø All organisms inherit their DNA from one or two parents Ø DNA is the basis of similarities in form and function among organisms: All forms of life use the same genetic code to translate the information stored in DNA into proteins Ø Small variations in DNA give rise to differences among individuals and among types of organisms

39 The Diversity of Life Taxonomy (Carolus Linnaeus) Science that deals with the identification and the classification of living organisms

40 Ø Domain Ø Kingdom Ø Phylum Ø Class Ø Order Ø Family Ø Genus Ø species Taxonomic Classification

41 The Three Domains The diversity of life can be arranged into three domains: Ø Archaea Ø Bacteria Ø Eukarya

42 Bacteria Archaea Protists Plants Fungi Animals Kingdoms Bacteria Archaea Eukarya Domains

43 Domain Archaea Archaea are prokaryotes that often live in Earth s extreme environments

44 Domain Bacteria Bacteria are the most diverse and widespread prokaryotes

45 Domain Eukarya All members have eukaryotic cells Ø Protists Ø Fungi

46 Ø Plants Ø Animals
