Characteristics of Life
• Biologists have established that all living things share 7 Characteristics of Life.
Cells Stimulus Homeostasis
Metabolism Growth and Development Reproduction
Change through Time
![Page 6: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Organization and Cells• All living organisms (one celled or multicellular)
have some degree of organization.• CELL—smallest unit of life• UNICELLULAR—one celled organisms• MULTICELLULAR—made up of more than one cell• Complex Multicellular organisms (such as
humans) have ORGAN SYSTEMS, groups of parts that carry out specific functions.
• ORGANS are structures that carry out specialized jobs within an organ system.
![Page 7: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Organization and Cells• All organs are made up of TISSUES, or groups of
cells with similar functions.• Tissues are made up of CELLS.• ORGANELLES are within each cell and are tiny
structures that carry out functions necessary for the cell to stay alive.
• Organelles contain BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES, the chemical compounds that provide physical structure, movement, energy.
• Biological Molecules are made up of ATOMS, the simplest particle of an element.

Response to Stimuli
• An organism can respond to a STIMULUS or physical/chemical change in the internal or external environment.
• Example—an owl dilates its pupils to keep the amount of light entering the eye constant and therefore maintain good vision.
![Page 10: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Homeostasis
• The maintenance of a stable level of internal conditions even though the environment is changing.
• Examples: Maintaining body temperature, water content, nutrients within a cell
![Page 11: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Metabolism• Living organisms use ENERGY to repair, move, and
grow.• Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions
that take in and transform energy and materials from the environment.
• Example—plants use the sun’s energy to generate sugar molecules through photosynthesis.
• Example—an owl’s metabolism allows the owl to extract chemicals in its prey and use it as energy to fuel growth.

Growth and Development
• All living things grow and increase in size.• Living things grow from the results of divisions
and enlargements of cells.• Unicellular—enlargement of cells• Multicellular—division of cells• Development is the process by which an
organism becomes a mature adult.
![Page 14: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reproduction• All living organisms produce new organisms in a
process called reproduction.• Reproduction (unlike the other characteristics is
NOT essential for life of a single organism, however it is essential for the continuity of the species)
• During reproduction organisms transmit hereditary info to their offspring. This info is encoded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
• A short segment of DNA contains instructions for a single trait (like eyecolor), this is called a GENE.
![Page 15: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
• Hereditary info recombines from 2 organisms of the same species.
• Results in similar (but not identical to parents) offspring.
Asexual Reproduction
• Hereditary info is not recombined
• The offspring and the original organism are essentially the same (genetically)
• Example—a bacterium reproduces when it splits into two identical cells.

Change through Time
• Basic genetics do not change through time• Populations of living organisms evolve or change
through time to survive• Succession—the process by which a biological
community evolves over time– Primary Succession—a lifeless area has to evolve
(example after a lava flow)– Secondary Succession—a community is removed (but
not entirely, some life, soil remains) and begins again (extinction of a species, weather related disasters)

Observations
• Science starts with observation– Observation involves using the 5 senses to gather
information– Can be quantitative (numbers) or qualitative (not
numerical, more descriptive)– All of this information is gathered as DATA, or
evidence– What are the 5 senses??
![Page 23: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Interpreting the Evidence
• Scientists must make inferences based on the observations.
• Inferences are a logical, unbiased, interpretation based on prior knowledge, experience, and observation
• Examples of Inferences:– You see a broken window and a baseball laying on
the floor under the window. You INFER that the baseball broke the window.

Explaining the Evidence
• A HYPOTHESIS is a possible explanation or answer to a scientific question.
• A Hypothesis must be TESTABLE.• Examples:1. Purina food will reduce a dog's shedding.
2. Putting Miracle Grow on tomato plants will make them produce more tomatoes.
3. The drug Avapro will lower a person's blood pressure.

• Write a hypothesis for the experiment below:– A scientist is going to measure toy car speed on a
ramp. He is going to test if the size of the wheel affects the speed of the toy car going down a ramp. He has a regular toy car, a toy car with extra large wheels, and a toy car with mini-wheels.
– What is your hypothesis??

Setting up a Controlled Experiment
• A controlled experiment is a test of a hypothesis with only one variable being tested.
• Manipulated (Independent) Variable is the part of the experiment that is being deliberately changed by the scientist.
• Responding (Dependent) Variable is the part of the experiment that that changes as a result of the experiment.
• Controlled Variables: items that stay constant throughout the experiment (example: the materials used)

Recording and Analyzing Results
• Scientist keep written records of all observations and data, often in a journal, notebook, or computer.
• Statistical Variability– how spread out the group of data is. Data sets with very similar numbers have little variability. Data sets with a wide range would be highly variable.
![Page 32: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Error• No experiment is perfect. Many things can go wrong and many things cannot be controlled.
• Scientists acknowledge that there will be error.
• Scientists ALWAYS identify and communicate sources for error.
![Page 33: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Drawing a Conclusion• Scientists then use the data and results from an
experiment to evaluate the original hypothesis and develop a conclusion.
• Scientists will answer their original questions, confirm or reject their hypothesis, and often create new questions
![Page 35: Chapter 1 Biology, Scientific Process, and Tools Objectives Apply the Scientific Method to Solve a problem. List the Characteristics of Living Things Compare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649e455503460f94b39601/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Publishing
• If evidence supporting a hypothesis builds up from many, many experiments by many scientists, the hypothesis becomes a THEORY.
• A THEORY is a well-tested explanation or answer to a problem.
