Exploring Life
Biology is the scientific study of life
How do we recognize life? By what ?
Growth
Reproduce similar organisms
properties of life
(b) Evolutionary
adaptation
(a) Order
(c) Response to the
environment
(d) Regulation
(e) Energy
processing
(f) Growth and
development
(g) Reproduction
Biologists explore life from the microscopic to the global scale
A Hierarchy of Biological Organization:
• microscope scale of molecules and cells
• organisms
• the global scale of the entire living planet

Cell theory:
• All cells share certain characteristics
– They are all enclosed by a membrane
– They all use DNA as genetic information
• There are two main forms of cells
– Eukaryotic
– Prokaryotic

The Three Domains of Life
At the highest level, life is classified into three domains
Bacteria
Consist of prokaryotes
Archaea

Includes the various protist kingdoms
and the kingdoms Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia

The evolutionary view of life
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection
(in 1859)
Charles Darwin
organism
The Origin of Species articulated two main points
Descent with modification
-mutation
-sexual reproduction
Gametes get different combination
of parents chromosomes
Natural selection
Natural selection
1 Populations with varied inherited traits
environmental factors
2 Elimination of individuals with certain traits.
3 Reproduction of survivors.
4 Increasing frequency of traits that enhance
survival and reproductive success.

The products of natural selection
Are often exquisite adaptations of organisms to the special
circumstances of their way of life and their environment

Structure and function
Reductionism vs. System biology
Reductionism
reducing complex systems to simpler components that are
more manageable to study
System biology
-
models of the dynamic behavior of whole biological systems
-
at the cellular and molecular levels
-
high-throughput technology, bioinformatics, and
interdisciplinary research teams
How do biologists inquiry to explore life?
A search for information and explanation, often focusing
on specific questions
Two approaches of scientific study:
Discovery science : describe nature
Hypothesis-based science: explain nature
to know
Discovery Science--Descriptive science
-describes life (at many different levels)
-careful observation and measurement
-analysis of data and get conclusions
Example: “All organisms are made of cells”
Induction reasoning
generalizations based on a large
number of specific observations
Hypotheses-based Scientific method
testable
falsifiable
Observations
specific questions
Propose
Questions
Hypothesis # 1:
Dead batteries
Prediction:
Replacing batteries
will fix problem
Test
Test prediction
Test falsifies hypothesis
Hypothesis # 2:
Burnt-out bulb
Prediction:
Replacing bulb
will fix problem
Test prediction
Test does not falsify hypothesis
Logic of Hypothesis-Based Science
• deductive
The logic flows from the general to the specific
• If a hypothesis is correct,
Then we can expect a particular outcome
Designing Controlled Experiments
control groups
experimental groups
in a way that cancels the effects of unwanted variables
Scientific method
Discovery Science : induction
Hypotheses-based Science: deduction
Limitation?
Observation and experimental results: repeatability
Hypothesis is testable and falsifiable
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Theories :
Is broad in scope than hypothesis
Generates new hypotheses
Is supported by a large body of evidence
Model :
Diagrams, graphs, 3-D objects, computer programs
or mathematical equations
Help us understand scientific phenomena and make predictions
Models of ideas, structures, and processes
• In mimicry
– A harmless species resembles a harmful
species
Advantage?
Flower fly
(non-stinging)
Honeybee (stinging)
To test this mimicry hypothesis
Field Experiments with Artificial Snakes
hundreds of artificial snakes
an experimental group
(a) Artificial king snake
a control group
(b) Brown artificial snake that has been attacked
The hypothesis predicts that predators in non–coral snake areas will
attack king snakes more frequently than will predators that live
where coral snakes are present
