Ecology of Marine Biology
Is it Alive?
• Observe object:
• 1-Tell what you think object is.
• 2-Place specimen in one of three categories:
– A- is alive
– B- Not alive now-used to be alive or came from
something that was alive
– C-Not alive, never was alive
• 3-Then list characteristics that helped you
decide A, B, or C.
Is it Alive?
• Step 1
• Go through your list of characteristics. Were
the characteristics chosen absolutely
necessary for the maintenance of life? Hint: (If
you can think of any organism that does not
have to do that, it is not necessary. Write “N”
for necessary beside the appropriate
characteristics.
Is it Alive?
• Step 2
• Were there any characteristics that would
appear in all specimens? Make a list of these
characteristics on the bottom of your page.
Is it Alive?
• Step 3
• Now write a definition for “life” including as
many characteristics of life as possible on the
back of your handout.
Is it Alive?
• Step 4
• Now in a group of students assigned by your
teacher discuss your definition for “life”
including as many characteristics of life as
possible. Make sure that all members of your
group can defend the group’s answers. Be
ready for class discussion.

Macromolecules
Lipids - Fat, Cholesterol, Steroids
Carbohydrates - 1. Simple - glucose (sugar)
- 2. Complex - starch
Protein - amino acids
Nucleic Acid - DNA/RNA
Plants capture the suns energy and turn it into food for
themselves (photosynthesis)
Photosynthesis
H2O + CO2
Reactants
C6H12O6 + O2
Products
Respiration
C6H12O6
H2O + CO2 + Energy
Photosynthesis
Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. Respiration breaks
down organic matter, using O2 and producing CO2 and H20.
Cells Prokaryote - Bacteria
Eukaryote - Plants, Animals, Protists, and
Fungi
Prokaryotic cell (bacterium) – no membrane bound organelles –
smallest and simplest.
Bacteria were the first life forms on the earth. Fossil bacteria
show an age of 3.8 billion years old, almost as old as the ocean
itself.
Eukaryotes – contain membrane bound organelles (plant and
animal cells)
