1. General Biology ( Welcome to the golden age of biology! There has never been a more exciting to teach and learn about life. Reading the newspaper or watching the news reminds us daily that the subject of biology is woven into the fabric of our society as never before. As the pace of biology discovery accelerates, so does the number of ways that it touches our lives. Medicine, agriculture, forensics, ecology, psychology, history- these are just a few of the subjects to which biology has made significant contribution in recent years. Through Biology, Concepts & Connections, we are privileged to help instructors educate the next generation of “citizen scientists”). Adapted from Essential Biology, by Campbell et al. (I)

3. Introduction: Getting Acquainted with Biology  Biology is the science of life in all its living forms, plants, animals and microorganisms including man  The term “Biology” derived from bios = life and logos = science  Living organisms have many attributes that distinguish them from non-living objects  It comes in the first place the characteristic of adaptation: the innate fitness of an organism for its environmental condition  The leopard is an excellent example of an organism adapted to its environment

4. Introduction: Adaptation –It survives because of adaptations to its environment –Examples are coat camouflage and hunting and climbing ability –Adaptations –Adaptations are the result of evolution –Evolution –Evolution is the process of change that transforms life –Biology –Biology is the scientific study of life Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

5. THEMES IN THE STUDY OF BIOLOGY Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.  Organization  Organization is another important attribute of living organisms that define the themes in the study of biology  Constituents of living organisms are organized in several levels of increasing complexity best described as a hierarchy of life  Atomsmoleculesorganells cellstissuesorganssystemsorganism populationcommunityecosystem  Atoms are organized into molecules ⇒ organells ⇒ cells ⇒ tissues ⇒organs ⇒systems ⇒organism ⇒ population ⇒ community ⇒ ecosystem ⇒ biosphere

6. Biosphereالمحيط الحيوي كل الأنظمة البيئية على الكرة الأرضية Ecosystem النظام البيئي جميع العشائر المختلفة المتفاعلة مع ما يحيط بها من ماء وهواء وتربة ومناخ في منطقة معينة مثل ساحل فلوريدا Florida coast Community, All organisms on the Florida coast الجماعة: كل الكائنات المكونة للعشائر المختلفة في منطقة معينة مثل ساحل فلوريدا Population, Group of brown pelicans العشيرة: مجموعة من الكائنات الحية من نفس النوع تتزاوج فيما بينها مثل البجع البني Nucleus النواة Nerve عصب Spinal cord الحبل الشوكي Cellالخلية Nerve cell خلية عصبية Tissueنسيج Nervous tissue النسيج العصبي Organ العضو Brainالدماغ Organelle عضية Nucleus نواة Molecule جزيئ DNA دنا Atom ذرة Organism الكائن Brown pelicanالبجع البني Organ systemالجهاز العضوي Nervous systemالجهاز العصبي Brain الدماغ Life’s hierarchy of organization منظومة مراتب الحياة The upper tier The lower tier The middle tier

7. 1.1 In life’s hierarchy of organization, new properties emerge at each level  The upper tier is a global perspective of life Biosphere Biosphere - all the environments (ecosystems) on Earth that support life Ecosystem - Ecosystem - all the organisms (communities) living in a particular area Community - Community - the array of organisms (different populations) living in a particular ecosystem Population - Population - all the individuals of a species only interbread with each other within a specific area

8. 1.1 In life’s hierarchy of organization, new properties emerge at each level  The middle tier is characterized by the organism, an individual living thing, which is composed of Organ systems Organ systems - have specific functions; are composed of organs Organs - Organs - provide specific functions for the organism Tissues - Tissues - made of groups of similar cells Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

9. 1.1 In life’s hierarchy of organization, new properties emerge at each level  Life emerges at the level of the cell, the lower tier, which is composed of Molecules Molecules - clusters of atoms Organelles Organelles - membrane-bound structures with specific functions Cells Cells - living entities distinguished from their environment by a membrane Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

10. 1.1 In life’s hierarchy of organization, new properties emerge at each level Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Atoms are organized into molecules ⇒ organells ⇒ cells ⇒ tissues ⇒ organs ⇒ systems ⇒ organism ⇒ population ⇒ community ⇒ ecosystem ⇒ biosphere

11. 1.2 Living organisms interact with their environments, exchanging matter and energy  Life requires interactions between living and nonliving components.  The nonliving components are chemical and nutrients required for life.  to be living, a thing must be capable of growth, reproduction and metabolism. producers –Photosynthetic organisms provide food and are called producers consumers –Others eat plants (or animals that profit from plants) and are called consumers Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

12. Ecosystem Producers (such as plants) Sunlight Cycling of chemical Nutrients Chemical energy Consumers (such as animals) ) Heat The cycling of nutrients and flow of energy in an ecosystem

13. 1.3 Cells are the structural and functional units of life  Form generally fits function 1.By studying a biological structure, you determine what it does and how it works 2.Life emerges from interactions of structures system 3.Combinations of structures (components) provide organization called a system Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

14. 1.3 Cells are the structural and functional units of life  Two distinct groups of cells exist  Prokaryotic cells 1.Genetic material is not surrounded 2.by a nuclear membrane 3.Simple and small 4.Bacteria are prokaryotic  Eukaryotic cells 1.Genetic material is surrounded by a 2.a nuclear membrane 3.Possess organelles separated by membranes 4.Plants, animals, and fungi are eukaryotic Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

15. DNAدنا (no nuclear envelop) Prokaryotic cell Membrane Eukaryotic cell Nucleus (contains DNA surrounded by nuclear membrane) Organelles Contrasting the size and complexity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

16. 1.4 The unity of life: All forms of life have common features  All living things share common properties Order Order - he complex organization of living things Regulation Regulation - an ability to maintain an internal environment consistent with life Growth and development Growth and development - consistent growth and development controlled by DNA Energyprocessing Energy processing - acquiring energy and transforming it to a form useful for the organism through metabolism

17. 1.4 The unity of life: All forms of life have common features  Common properties continued  Response to the environment  Response to the environment - an ability to respond to environmental stimuli  Reproduction  Reproduction - the ability to perpetuate the species  Evolutionary adaptation  Evolutionary adaptation - acquisition of traits that best suit the organism to its environment Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

18. Some important properties of life ( 3) Growth and development (4) Energy processing (2) Regulation (1)Order (5) Response to the environment (6) Reproduction (7) Evolutionary adaptation

19. (1) Order So me important properties of life All living things exhibit complex but ordered Organization, as seen in the highly ordered Structure of a sunflower

20. (2) Regulation Some important properties of life For example, a jackrabbit can adjust its body temperature by regulating The amount of blood flowing through its ears. when the rabbit ’ s body temperature rises, more blood flows through the vessel in its ears, allowing excess heat to be released to the air.

21. (3) Growth and development Some important properties of life Information carried by genes the units of inheritance that transmit information from parents To offspring – controls the pattern of growth and development in all organisms, including the Nile crocodile

22. (4) Energy processing Metabolism Some important properties of life Fro example, when this bear eats the fish, it will use the chemical energy stored in the fish to power its own activities and chemical reactions (metabolism)

23. (5) Response to the environment Some important properties of life All organisms respond to environmental stimuli Fro example, a Venus flytrap closes its trap in response to the environmental stimulus of an insect landing on it

24. (6) Reproduction Some important properties of life Organisms reproduce their own kind, by producing offsprings. This emperor Penguins is protecting its baby. By reproduction survival of the specie, not extinction, is achieved

25. (7) Evolutionary adaptation Some important properties of life Reproduction underlies the capacity of populations to change (evolve) over time Fro example, the appearance of the pygmy seahorses has evolved in the way that camouflage the animal in its environment

27. 1.7 Scientists use two main approaches to learn about nature  Two approaches are used to understand natural causes for natural phenomena –Discovery science –Discovery science - uses verifiable observations and measurements to describe science –Hypothesis- basedscience –Hypothesis- based science - uses the data from discovery science to explain science –This requires proposing and testing of hypotheses Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

28. 1.7 Scientists use two main approaches to learn about nature theory hypothesis  There is a difference between a theory and a hypothesis hypothesis –A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a set of observations theory –A theory is supported by a large and usually growing body of evidence Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

29. 1.8 With hypothesis-based science, we pose and test hypotheses  We solve everyday problems by using hypotheses –An example would be the reasoning we use to answer the question, “Why doesn’t the flashlight work?” –Using deductive reasoning we realize that the problem is either the (1) bulb or (2) batteries. –The hypothesis must be testable –The hypothesis must be falsifiable Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

30. Hypothesis #1: Dead batteries Observations Question ا Hypothesis #2: Burned-out bulb Test prediction ا Test falsifies hypothesis Test does not falsify hypothesis Prediction: Replacing batteries will fix problem Prediction: Replacing batteries will fix problem An example of hypothesis-based science
