Themes of Biology a quick guide #3. Life requires Energy transfer and transformation

Themes of Biology a quick guide #3. Life requires Energy transfer and transformation How do we get our energy? How does this plant get it’s energy?

Themes of Biology a quick guide #4. Structure and Function are correlated at ALL levels of Biological Organization -> Analyzing a biological structure gives us clues about what it does and how it works. (the opposite can also be true) Ex. What do you think the function of this was? Give evidence of why you think so.

Themes of Biology a quick guide #5. The Cell is an Organism’s Basic Unit of Structure and Function The cell is the smallest unit that can perform all activities required for life 2 main types of cells:

Themes of Biology a quick guide #6. The continuity of Life is Based on Heritable Information in the Form of DNA DNA is the basis of inheritance, and responsible for growth and repair in all organisms.

Themes of Biology a quick guide #7. Feedback Mechanisms Regulate Biological Systems. -> Key to self-regulating (____________) Feedback - the output, or product, of a process regulates that very process.

What’s the Big Idea? 1. Use your green syllabus to look at each big idea. As a group discuss and decide where each theme of biology fits (under what big idea) 2. Once you have fit each theme into a Big idea, go back to our species of the day yesterday (or pick any other species you want to think about) and finish relating the themes to a species.

“Big Ideas” for AP Biology #1 - The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.

“Big Ideas” for AP Biology #2 - Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.

“Big Ideas” for AP Biology #3 - Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes.

“Big Ideas” for AP Biology #4 - Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties.
