The Diversity of Life
Biology is the study of living things
Living things can be divided into six kingdoms
Archaea Bacteria Protista
Fungi Plantae Animalia

What is Life?
Biology is the study of life - but what does it mean to be alive?
1. Complexity
2. Movement
3. Response to stimulation

Fundaments Properties of Life
Five fundamental characteristics1.Cellular organization
2.Energy utilization
3.Homeostasis
4.Growth, development, & reproduction

1.Cellular organization
•All living things are composed of one or more cells
•Cells carry out the basic activities of living

2.Energy utilization
All living things use energy
•Moving, growing, and thinking require energy
Energy is captured from sunlight by plants and algae through photosynthesis

3.Homeostasis
All living things maintain relatively constant internal conditions
Organisms keep their interior conditions relatively constant even when the environment varies

4.Growth, development, & reproduction
Bacteria increase in size and simply split in two
Complex multicellular organisms grow by increasing the number of cells and develop by producing different kinds of cells

5.Heredity
All organisms possess a genetic system based on the replication and duplication of DNA
DNA transmits the characteristics of an organism from parent to offspring

Living systems show hierarchical organization◦ Cellular level
Atoms, molecules, organelles, cells
Cell is the basic unit of life
◦ Organismal level
Tissues, organs, organ systems

◦ Populational level
Population – same species living in same area
Community – all populations of different species living in the same area
◦ Ecosystem level – community and physical habitat .
◦ Biosphere
Earth is an ecosystem we call the biosphere

The hierarchy of classification – Groups :-
Living organisms have been broadly classified into five main kingdoms.
They are :-i) Monera ii) Protista iii) Fungi iv) Plante v)
Animalia Each kingdom has been further classified into smaller
sub - groups at various levels as :-KingdomPhylum (for plants) / Division (for animals) ClassOrderFamilyGenusSpecies

Phanerogamae is made into two further divisions.-
(i)Gymnosperms (naked seeded plants)
(ii)Angiosperms (Seed born within a fruit)

(i) GYMNOSPERMAE The gymnosperms are a group of seed-producingplants that includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and Gnetales.
The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek word gymnosperms (γυμνόσπερμος), meaning "naked seeds", after the unenclosed condition of their seeds.

(ii)ANGIOSPERME
This group constitutes the largest group of plants.

INTRODUCTION
Several attempts have been made from time to time to explain
the origin of life on earth.
As a result, there are several theories which offer their own
explanation on the possible mechanism of origin of life.
Following are some of them:
• Theory of Special Creation
• Theory of Spontaneous Generation
• Theory of Biochemical Evolution
• Theory of Panspermia

• All the different forms of life - created by God.
• HINDU CONCEPT :- Lord Brahma- created the living world in one stroke.
• CHRISTIAN & ISLAM BELIEF :- God created this universe, plants, animals and human beings in about six days.
• It has no scientific basis.

Living things originated spontaneously from inanimate objects.
It is also called abiogenesis or biopoesis.
Supporters :- Aristotle
Epicurus
Von Helmont
They believed
Insects arise from dew
Fish & frog from mud
Fly maggots from meat .
• The opposers disproved this theory.
Redi’s experiment
Pasteur’s experiment

•Proposed by Richter in 1865 and supported by Arrhenius.
•Life had come to earth from other planets of the universe, in the
form of resistant spores.
•British astronomers Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe
proposed: •interstellar dust and comets contain organic compounds.
•comets, which are largely made of water-ice, carry bacterial life
across galaxies and protect it from radiation damage along the way.

Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist
with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
published a paper on March 4, 2011, claiming
to have found fossil evidence for
cyanobacteria in an extremely rare class of
meteorites, called CI1 carbonaceous
chondrites .
