  1. 1.3 Characteristics of Life

  2. 1. Living things are made of cells • These units help to organize their materials.

  3. Nerve cell Examples of Cells Egg and sperm Red blood cell Fat cell Cheek cell

  4. 2. Living things reproduce • Why is this so important? • How do plants reproduce? • How do animals reproduce? Egg and sperm pollen Euglena separate

  5. Sexual Reproduction Two parents unite to form a new organism Asexual Reproduction A single parent divides itself two produce offspring Types of Reproduction

  6. 3. Living things are based on a universal genetic code (DNA). • All living things have the same bases (A, T, C, G) in their DNA-they are just in different order

  7. 4. Living things grow and develop • Each organism has a pattern of growth and development characteristic of its species.

  8. 5. Living things obtain and use materials and energy • Organisms take in energy and transform it to perform all of life’s activities. -metabolism -photosynthesis

  9. Metabolism • = Combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks down materials.

  10. 6. Living Things Respond to Their Environment Eye spot (responds to light) • All organisms respond to environmental stimuli. • Nikon MicroscopyU Movie Gallery: Paramecium (Protozoan) Video No. 3

  11. Stimulus-Response • A stimulus is a signal to which an organism responds.

  12. 7. Living Things Maintain a Stable Internal Environment • The environment outside an organism may change, but regulatory mechanisms maintain an organisms’ internal environments within limits that sustain life. • HowStuffWorks "Homeostasis"

  13. Homeostasis

  14. homeostasis   • The ability to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. • EXAMPLES: body temp. • Blood sugar levels • Water levels • pH

  15. Kidney used for water regulation Gets rid of wastes

  16. 8. Taken as a group, living things change over time. • Evolution

  17. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Science as a Way of Knowing: • Observe • Question • Experiment • Research • CHAPTER 1

  18. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Interdependence in Nature • All forms of life are connected in the biosphere with the cycling of energy and matter • CHAPTERS 3-6

  19. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Matter and Energy • Matter needed for nutrients • Energy needed to fuel life’s processes • CHAPTER 2

  20. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Cellular Basis of Life • Smallest units of life • Organisms are made of one cell or many cells • CHAPTER 7

  21. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Information and Heredity • All life has a genetic code in DNA • CHAPTERS 11-14

  22. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Unity and Diversity of Life • All life is made of carbon • All life uses protein to build its structures • All store genetic information • CHAPTER 2

  23. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Evolution • Living things change through time • Relationships of living things through 3.5 billion years • CHAPTERS • 15-17

  24. BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Structure and Function • Structure design enabled function CHAPTER 7

  25. Br-r-r-r-r BIG IDEAS IN BIOLOGY • Homeostasis • Organisms must expend energy to maintain internal environment in the face of a changing external environment • CHAPTER 35

  26. BIG IDEAS IN SCIENCE • Science, Technology, and Society (STS) (‘should we’ questions) • Mad Cow Disease • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome • Genetic Engineering • Cloning • p. 23, p. 253, p. 456, and more
