  1. What is Biology and What is Life?

  2. Warm-up-in notebooks What is your goal for this course? • Learn the material for future reference • Pass the course • Earn an A • Pass this course because you need it to graduate

  3. What Are We Going to Be Talking About? Homeostasis Cells Reproduction Energy Organization

  4. Biology • Science of life • Bio – Life • Logy – Study • Biologist studies the interactions of life and make observations that can help the future. People are curious by nature therefore asking the question …..WHY?

  5. Characteristics of Life • Organization • Reproduction • Growth and Development • Adjustment to Environment • Adaptation

  6. Characteristics of Life • 1. Organization • Cell – smallest part of a living thing • Tissue – a group of cells • Organ – a group of tissues • Organ system – group of organs • Organism – a complete and entire living thing

  7. Organization of Life

  8. Warm-Up What is a group of cells called? • An Organism • A tissue • Life • A prison

  9. Warm-Up • Organize these into the correct order from smallest to biggest • Cell • Tissue • Organism • Organ

  10. Characteristics of Life • 2. Reproduction • A way of making more of it’s self. • Asexual – one parent (plants, fungi, protists, bacteria) • Sexual – two parents Species – a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings in nature

  11. Types Reproduction

  12. Characteristics of Life • 3. Growth and Development • Increase in the amount of living material and formation of new structures • Changes that organisms have during life

  13. Growth and Development

  14. Characteristics of Life • 4. Adjustments to their environment • React to Stimulus & Response • Homeostasis– maintain balance (temp.) • Energy is required to complete the process that is obtained from food

  15. Responding to Stimuli

  16. Characteristics of Life • 5. Adaptation • Hereditary traits that are present • Evolution is the adaptation of organisms over time

  17. Adapting

  18. Mini-Lab Activity • Characteristics of Life Lab • Using Books…define main Characteristics • 12 Stations….Give Conditions And Reasons for Decision…..COMPLETE SENTENCES

  19. 6 Kingdoms of Living Things: • Archaebacteria • Eubacteria • Protist • Fungi • Plants • Animals
