Biology
• “Biophilia”
• Why do we study biology?
• Is it the love for the diversity of
living things?
• Is it rooted in our spirit as a living
thing - ourselves?
• Is it that we are connected to all
forms of life?
• Studying Biology takes us to many
•
ecosystems.
Jungles
Deserts
Marine
Do you have a favorite ecosystem?
• Studying Biology takes us to the
microscopic world.
• How do organisms work?

Ghost Plant
BIG IDEA 1: The process of
evolution drives the diversity and
unity of life.
• An organism’s adaptations to its environment are
the result of evolution
– For example, the ghost plant is adapted to
conserving water; this helps it to survive in the
crevices of rock walls
• Evolution is the process of change that has
transformed life on Earth

MOST exciting time in the
Science of Biology
• New discoveries daily
• New research findings reported daily
(450,000 new research articles
reported /yr)
• New methods for research
• The 20th century was the century for
the Physical sciences
• The 21st century is for the Biological
Sciences

• Genetics
• Medicine
• Human relationship
• Evolution
• Environment
• Cancer
• And ?
“In our enthusiasm for telling you all that
biology has discovered, do not let us
convince you that all is known. Many
questions are still unanswered. More
importantly, many good questions have not
yet been asked. Perhaps you may ask one
of them.”
Helena Curtis
Textbook author
How important are questions to science?

Characteristics of Life:
What distinguishes Life from Non-Life?
Living organisms:
• Have an organized structure composed of cells
• Acquire energy & materials from surroundings
• Adjusts to changing conditions –Homeostasis
• Have growth and development
• Respond to environmental stimuli
• Able to reproduce
• Capacity to change genetically using DNA
• Dies
Big Idea 2
• Biological systems utilize free energy
and molecular building blocks to
grow to reproduce and maintain
dynamic homeostasis.
Energy utilization
Regulation by feedback mechanisms
Homeostasis
Growth and development - Reproduction
Big Idea 3
• Big Idea 3: Living systems store,
retrieve, transmit and respond to
information essential to life
processes.
Figure 1.5 The genetic material: DNA
Big Idea 4
• Big Idea 4: Biological systems
interact, and these systems and their
interactions possess complex
properties.
Form fits function

• Biology is the scientific study of life
• Biologists ask questions such as
– How does a single cell develop into an
organism?
– How does the human mind work?
– How do living things interact in communities?
• Life defies a simple, one-sentence definition
• Life is recognized by what living things do

Evolution, the Overarching
Theme of Biology - Big Idea 1
• Evolution makes sense of everything we
•
•
•
•
know about biology
Organisms are modified descendants of
common ancestors
Evolution explains patterns of unity and
diversity in living organisms
Similar traits among organisms are explained
by descent from common ancestors
Differences among organisms are explained
by the accumulation of heritable changes
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 1.2: The Core Theme:
Evolution accounts for the unity
and diversity of life
• “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the
•
light of evolution”—Theodosius Dobzhansky
Evolution unifies biology at different scales of size
throughout the history of life on Earth

The Three Domains of Life
• Organisms are divided into three domains
• Domain Bacteria and domain Archaea compose
•
the prokaryotes
Prokaryotes are microscopic, single-celled
organism

kingdoms
– Plants, which produce their own food by
photosynthesis
– Fungi, which absorb nutrients
– Animals, which ingest their food
• Protista Kingdom – mostly unicellular

Charles Darwin and the Theory of
Natural Selection
• Fossils and other evidence document the
evolution of life on Earth over billions of years
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 1.17
• Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species
by Means of Natural Selection in 1859
• Darwin made two main points
– Species showed evidence of “descent with
modification” from common ancestors
– Natural selection is the mechanism behind
“descent with modification”
• Darwin’s theory explained the duality of unity and
diversity
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 1.18
• Darwin observed that
– Individuals in a population vary in their traits,
many of which are heritable
– More offspring are produced than survive, and
competition is inevitable
– Species generally suit their environment
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 1.19
• Darwin observed that
– Individuals in a population vary in their traits,
many of which are heritable
– More offspring are produced than survive, and
competition is inevitable
– Species generally suit their environment
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 1.17b Diversification of finches on the Galápagos Islands
• Darwin inferred that
– Individuals that are best suited to their
environment are more likely to survive and
reproduce
– Over time, more individuals in a population will
have the advantageous traits
• Evolution occurs as the unequal reproductive
success of individuals
• 9/12/13
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
• In other words, the environment “selects” for the
•
propagation of beneficial traits
Darwin called this process natural selection

• Natural selection results in the adaptation of
organisms to their environment
– For example, bat wings are an example of
adaptation

Figure 1.21
Figure 1.16 Evolutionary adaptation is a product of natural selection
Figure 1.14 Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
Evolution is change over time.
Charles Darwin, author of “The
Origin of Species”, presented 2
themes:
1. “Descent with modification”
2. “How Life evolves”
• Evolution is the biological theme
that ties together all other themes
