  3. Grade Sheet

  4. Quiz – Lab Safety and Equipment • Identify and explain symbols • Identify equipment • Questions about safety rules • Locations of safety equipment

  5. What Are Characteristics of Life? (7) • Cells • Reproduce • Obtain and use energy • Homeostasis • Heredity • Evolution • Interdependence

  6. Flow of energy • Energy flow • Sun • Autotroph • Heterotroph • Herbivore, omnivore • Heterotroph • Omnivore, carnivore • Heterotroph • detrivore

  7. Homeostasis • Maintaining a stable internal environment • Responding to external factors • Examples • Cold • Hot

  8. Heredity • Pass on traits to offspring • Gene • Basic unit of heredity • Composed of DNA • Deoxyribonucleic acid • Changes to heredity • Mutation • Most harmful, others helpful • Sickle cell anemia

  9. Heredity • Mutations (cont.) • Germ cells • Egg and sperm cells • Somatic cells • Body cells

  10. Evolution • Change in the inherited traits of species over generations • Species – genetically similar organisms that can have fertile offspring • Natural selection • Organisms with favorable genes produce more offspring • More likely to survive

  11. Interdependence • Organisms live and interact with others and their environment • Same species and other species • Ecology • Branch of science that studies interactions of organisms and their environment

  12. Organisms Cells Homeostasis Interdependence Heredity Metabolism Reproduction Evolution

  13. Video Clips • The Characteristics of Living Things • Characteristics of Living Things (TLC)

  14. Organization • Atoms • Molecules • Organelles • Cells • Tissues • Organs • Systems

  15. Organization • Organisms • Populations • Communities • Ecosystems • Biome • Biosphere - life zone of all living things 8km up and 8km down

  16. Biosphere Biome Ecosystem Community Population Organism Systems Organs Tissues Cells Organelles Molecules Atoms
