  1. KEY CONCEPT Biology is the study of all forms of life.

  2. biosphere = everywhere life exists Earth is home to an incredible diversity of life. • The biosphere includes all living things and all the places they are found. HINT: Here’s an example of something bolded and underlined. Do you think it might be important??

  3. Earth is home to an incredible diversity of life. • Every part of the biosphere is connected with every other part. • The biosphere includes many environments. • land environments

  4. Tidepool Estuary • saltwater and freshwater environments • The biosphere includes many environments. • portions of the atmosphere

  5. Biodiversity is the variety of life. • Biodiversity: Variety of species in a particular area or across the biosphere • Biodiversity generally increases from the poles to the equator. • Biodiversity is greater in areas with consistently warm temperatures. Biodiversity is greater closer to the equator.

  6. A species is one particular type of living thing. • Members of a species can interbreed to reproduce. • There are about 2 million different living species have been identified.

  7. All organisms share certain characteristics. • Biology is the scientific study of all forms of life.

  8. All are made of one or more cells. • An organism is any individual living thing.

  9. An organism is any individual living thing. • Cells: All are made of one or more cells. • Energy: All need energy for metabolism. • Environment: All respond to their environment. • Reproduction: All have DNA that they pass on to offspring.

  10. KEY CONCEPTUnifying themes connect concepts from many fields of biology.

  11. All levels of life have systems of related parts. • A system is an organized group of interacting parts. • A cell is a system of chemicals and processes. • A body system includes organs that interact. • An ecosystem includes living and nonliving things that interact.

  12. Biologists study many different systems.

  13. Structure and function are related in biology. • Structure determines function. • Proteins with different structures perform different functions. • Heart muscle cells have a different structure and function than stomach muscle cells. • Different species have different anatomical structures with different functions.

  14. Organisms must maintain homeostasis to survive in diverse environments. • Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal conditions.

  15. Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal conditions. • Homeostasis is usually maintained through negative feedback. • Negative feedback systems return a condition to its normal (set) point.

  16. Behaviors and adaptations can help maintain homeostasis.

  17. Evolution • Evolution is the change in living things over time. • The genetic makeup of a population of a species can change. • Evolution can occur through natural selection of adaptations. • Adaptations are beneficial inherited traits that are passed to future generations.
