• Overview: What is Biology?
• Biology is the scientific study of life
• People who study it are "biologists“
• Biologists are moving closer to understanding:
– How a single cell develops into an organism
– How plants convert sunlight to chemical energy
– How the human mind works
– How living things interact in communities
– How life’s diversity evolved from the first microbes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Life’s basic characteristic is a high degree of order
• Each level of biological organization has emergent
properties
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
1. The ordinate structures
All organisms consist of the basic unit:
cell
– Basic life unit: Cell, (organelles and biological
macromolecules)
– Biosphere: cell, tissue, organ, organ system,
organism (individual), population, community
and ecosystem
– Without such ordinate structures, there is no
life
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
– Unicellular (Prokaryotic) organisms
• Single cell
– Multicellular (Eukaryotic) organisms
• Many cells organized to form tissues, organs,
and organ systems
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
2. Metabolism processes
Living organisms carry out metabolism in which they
use and transform energy.
–
Chemical reactions and energy transformations
–
Growth and repair of cells, and conversion of energy
–
Regulation of metabolic processes maintains
homeostasis
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
3. All living things maintain stable internal
conditions, or homeostasis.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
4. Growth
– Increase in the size of cells, the number of
cells, or both
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
5. Living organisms reproduce
– Reproduction in plants and animals takes place
sexually, resulting in the production of offspring.
– Reproduction can also occur via asexual
propagation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
6. Heredity:
• All living things possess a genetic system
based on DNA and transmit characteristics
from parent to offspring in a process called
heredity
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Characteristics of life
7. Adaptation (Response to the environment)
– Organisms evolve to better survive
– Adaptations to the environment
• Characteristics that enhance an organism’s
ability to survive in a particular environment
• May be structural, physiological, behavioral,
or a combination

6. Organ and organ systems: specialized body
parts made up of tissues
7. Tissue: a group of similar cells
8. Cell: life’s fundamental unit of structure and
function

Concept 1.1: Biologists explore life from the microscopic to
the global scale
• The study of life extends from molecules and cells
to the entire living planet
• Biological organization is based on a hierarchy of
structural levels

A Closer Look at Ecosystems
• Each organism interacts with its environment
• Both organism and environment affect each other
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Ecosystem Dynamics
• The dynamics of an ecosystem include two major
processes (functions):
– Cycling of nutrients, in which materials
acquired by plants eventually return to the soil
– The flow of energy from sunlight to producers
to consumers
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The functions of Ecosystem
•Energy flow
•Ecosystems depend
on continuous input
of energy
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Ecosystem
• Organisms can neither create energy nor use it with complete
efficiency
• During every energy transition, some is lost to the
environment as heat
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Energy Conversion
• Activities of life require work
• Work depends on sources of energy
• Energy exchange between an organism and
environment often involves energy transformations
• In transformations, some energy is lost as heat
• Energy flows through an ecosystem, usually
entering as light and exiting as heat

A Closer Look at Cells
• The cell is the lowest level of organization that can
perform all activities of life
• The ability of cells to divide is the basis of all
reproduction, growth, and repair of multicellular
organisms
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Theme: The Cell Is an Organism’s Basic Unit of
Structure and Function
• All cells
– Are enclosed by a membrane
– Use DNA as their genetic information
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Two Main Forms of Cells
• Characteristics shared by all cells:
– Enclosed by a membrane
– Use DNA as genetic information
• Two main forms of cells:
– Eukaryotic: divided into organelles; DNA in
nucleus
– Prokaryotic: lack organelles; DNA not
separated in a nucleus
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• A eukaryotic cell has membrane-enclosed
organelles, the largest of which is usually the
nucleus
• By comparison, a prokaryotic cell is simpler and
usually smaller, and does not contain a nucleus or
other membrane-enclosed organelles

The Cell’s Heritable Information
• Cells contain DNA, the heritable information that
directs the cell’s activities
• DNA is the substance of genes
• Genes are the units of inheritance that transmit
information from parents to offspring

arranged in a double helix
• Each link of a chain is one of four kinds of
chemical building blocks called nucleotides and
nicknamed A, G, C, and T

Concept 1.2: Biological systems are much more
than the sum of their parts
• A system is a combination of components that
form a more complex organization
• System = a network of relationships among a
group of parts, elements, or components that
interact with and influence one another through
the exchange of energy, matter, and/or
information
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Emergent Properties of Systems
• Emergent properties result from arrangements
and interactions within systems
• New properties emerge with each step upward in
the hierarchy of biological order
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Emergent properties
Properties of a
whole system
not evident in
the system’s
components
“The whole is
more than the sum
of its parts.”
A tree is an
element of a forest,
a sink for CO2, and
habitat for birds.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Systems show several defining properties
• Systems receive input, process it, and produce
output.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Feedback loops: Negative feedback
Feedback loop = a circular process whereby a
system’s output serves as input to that same
system
•In a negative feedback loop, output acts as input that moves
the system in the opposite direction.
This compensation stabilizes the system
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Feedback loops: Positive feedback
• In a positive
feedback loop,
output acts as input
that moves the
system further in
the same direction.
• This magnification
of effects
destabilizes the
system.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Positive feedback
• In a positive feedback loop, the output drives the
system further toward one extreme.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In negative feedback, the accumulation of a
product slows down the process itself
• In positive feedback (less common), the product
speeds up its own production
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Concept 1.3: Biologists explore life across its
great diversity of species
• Biologists have named about 1.8 million species
• Estimates of total species range from 10 million to
over 200 million
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Grouping Species: The Basic Idea
• Taxonomy is the branch of biology that names and
classifies species into a hierarchical order
• Kingdoms and domains are the broadest units of
classification
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Three Domains of Life
• At the highest level, life is classified into three
domains:
– Bacteria (prokaryotes)
– Archaea (prokaryotes)
– Eukarya (eukaryotes)
Eukaryotes include protists and the kingdoms
Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Three-Domain Classification
• Archaea
– Prokaryotesin cell walls
• Bacteria
– Prokaryotesin cell walls
• Eukarya
– all eukaryotes: protists, fungi, plants, animals

Charles Darwin
• The evolutionary view of life came into sharp focus
in 1859, when Charles Darwin published On the
Origin of Species by Natural Selection
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The Origin of Species articulated two main points:
– Descent with modification (the view that
contemporary species arose from a
succession of ancestors)
– Natural selection (a proposed mechanism for
descent with modification)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Natural Selection
• Darwin inferred natural selection by connecting
two observations:
– Observation: Individual variation in heritable
traits
– Observation: Overpopulation and competition
– Inference: Unequal reproductive success
– Inference: Evolutionary adaptation

The Tree of Life
• Many related organisms have similar features
adapted for specific ways of life
• Such kinships connect life’s unity and diversity to
descent with modification
• Natural selection eventually produces new species
from ancestral species
• Biologists often show evolutionary relationships in
a treelike diagram

Results of Cladistic Analyses Sometimes Run Counter to Classical
Classification Schemes
Which pair is more closely related? A lizard/crocodile or bird/crocodile?
Cladistic analysis indicates that the bird/crocodile pair is more closely related.

The Classification of Living Things
• Taxomony is the science of identifying and
classifying organisms according to specific
criteria using these categories:
Kingdom
Phylum (Division)

King
• Concept 1.5: Biologists use various forms of
inquiry to explore life
• Inquiry is a search for information and explanation,
often focusing on specific questions
• The process of science blends two main
processes of scientific inquiry:
– Discovery science: describing nature
– Hypothesis-based science: explaining nature
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Discovery Science
• Discovery science describes nature through
careful observation and data analysis
• Examples of discovery science:
– understanding cell structure
– expanding databases of genomes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Types of Data
• Data are recorded observations
• Two types of data:
– Quantitative data: numerical measurements
– Qualitative data: recorded descriptions
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Induction in Discovery Science
• Inductive reasoning involves generalizing based
on many specific observations
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
A Closer Look at Hypotheses in Scientific Inquiry
• A scientific hypothesis must have two important
qualities:
– It must be testable
– It must be falsifiable
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Scientific method
• The scientific method involves systematic
thought
– Deductive reasoning draws conclusions from
premises
– Inductive reasoning begins with observations
and draws conclusions or extrapolates
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Stage of a scientific method
The scientific method involves 6
steps:
1. Observation: Find a question
2. Hypothesis
3. Predictions
4. testing: experiment
5. Control
6. Results and Conclusion
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
1. Observation
• You might observe something unusual or
something very common.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
2. Hypothesis
• A hypothesis attempts to explain an observation. It is an
educated guess
• As questions are asked, scientist attempt to answer
those questions by proposed explanations that answer
the questions.
• Those proposed explanations are called hypothesis.
• Alternative hypotheses: If they have more than one
guess about what they observe.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Hypothesis-Based Science
• In science, inquiry usually involves proposing and
testing hypotheses
• Hypotheses are hypothetical explanations
– Educated guess
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Role of Hypotheses in Inquiry
• In science, a hypothesis is a tentative answer to a
well-framed question
• A hypothesis is an explanation on trial, making a
prediction that can be tested
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Prediction: The “If…then” Logic of Hypothesis-Based Science
• In deductive reasoning, the logic flows from the
general to the specific
• In inductive reasoning begins with observations
and draws conclusions or extrapolates
1. Observation: Find a question
– 2. Hypothesis
– 3. Predictions
– 4. testing: experiment
– 5. Control
– 6. Results and Conclusion
• If a hypothesis is correct, then we can expect a
particular outcome

Test does not falsify hypothesis
3. Prediction
• The prediction states the expected results of
the experiments based on the hypothesis.
Predictions often take the form of an
“if…then…” statement: “IF the hypothesis is
correct, then the results of the experiment will
be…”
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
4. Testing
• Test the hypothesis by attempting to verify
some of its predictions
• We called the test of a hypothesis an
experiment (Procedure, process)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
How to perform the testing
• Set up the variables
– Independent variables
– Dependent variables
– Control variables
• Control treatments (standard, or zero)
• Levels of treatment
• Replications
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Variables
• The independent variable is what the investigator
varies during the experiment.
 It is what the investigator thinks will affect the
dependent variable.
• The dependent variable is what the investigator
measures (or counts or records).
 It is what the investigator thinks will be affected during
the experiment.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
5. Controls: Designing Controlled Experiments
• Controlled variables: we test one independent variable
and keep the other factors are constant
– Scientists do not control the experimental environment by
keeping all variables constant
• Control treatment: A control is a treatment in which the
independent variable is either eliminated or set at a
standard value.
– Researchers usually “control” unwanted variables by using
control groups to cancel their effects
• Zero test

In the fertilizer example
• the control would be treatment in which no
fertilizer is applied or some standard amount
of fertilizer is applied.
• This allows the scientist to be sure that the
effect on the dependent variable is in fact
due to the independent variable.
