TITLE: Discuss the properties of life, basic chemical terminology, and molecules and compounds of a cell necessary for life.
Biology is the scientific study of life. It’s a subject that enormous scope and increases all the time. Which leads to many questions like: What is life? Or, let me put it to you this way, what distinguishes living things from non-living? Properties of Life: All living organisms share several key characteristics and/or function. Here you will find seven properties of life: order, response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energyprocessing. If we analyze these seven characteristics we realize that it serves to define life. I’m going to start off by showing you what each property represents and the important role it plays in life.
(1).Order. Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions. In multicellular organisms, similar cells form tissues. Tissues, in turn, collaborate to create organs (body structures with a distinct function). Organs work together to form organ systems. (2).
Response to the environment. Organisms can respond to diverse stimuli. For example, plants can grow toward a source of light, climb on fences and walls, or respond to touch. Even tiny bacteria can move toward or away from chemicals (a process called chemo taxis) or light (photo taxis). Movement toward a stimulus is considered a positive response, while movement away from a stimulus is considered a negative response. (3). Reproduction. Single-celled organisms reproduce by first duplicating their DNA. They then divide it equally as the cell prepares to divide to form two new cells. Multicellular organisms often produce specialized reproductive germ line cells that will form new individuals. When reproduction occurs, genes containing DNA are passed along to an organism's offspring. These genes ensure that the offspring will belong to the same species and will have similar characteristics, such as size and shape. (4). Growth and Development. All organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by their genes. These genes provide instructions that will direct cellular growth and development, ensuring that a species' young will grow up to exhibit many of the same characteristics as its parents. (5).Regulation. Even the smallest organisms are complex and require multiple regulatory mechanisms to coordinate internal functions, respond to stimuli, and cope with environmental stresses. Two examples of internal functions regulated in an organism are nutrient transport and blood flow. Organs (groups of tissues working together) perform specific functions, such as carrying oxygen ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Bio 1 Biology and Properties of life.pptx
1. - The study of organisms and their interactions with one
another and their environments
- It may study anything from the submicroscopic and
microscopic view of a cell, to ecosystems and the whole
living planet.
2. - The science that studies life.
But what exactly is LIFE?
3. Properties of life:
-All organisms share several key characteristic features.
-These characteristics must be viewed together in order
to
define life.
• Order
• Energy processing
• Homeostasis
• Regulation
• Growth and development
• Adaptation
• Reproduction
• Sensitivity or
response to stimuli
4. • Order
- Organisms consist of highly organized and coordinated
structures made up of one or more cells.
- Even simple, singled-celled organisms are made up of one
or more cells, which composed of molecules; molecules are
turn made up of atoms.
- Most multicellular organisms are composed of organ (body
structures with a distinct function) system that work
together. Organs are made up of tissues of the same cell.
- This increasing complexity of structures shows the levels of
organization
5. • Sensitivity or
response to stimuli
- Organisms respond to diverse stimuli.
- For example, plants can bend towards the source of light, respond to
touch.
Even tiny bacteria can move toward or away from chemicals.
- Movement toward a stimulus is considered a positive response, while
movement away from a stimulus is considered as negative response.
6. • Reproduction
- Single-celled organisms reproduced b first duplicating their DNA, and
then dividing it equally as the cell prepares to form new cells.
- Multicellular organisms often produce specialized reproductive germline
cells that give rise to gametes that are used to form new individuals.
- When reproduction occurs, genes containing DNA are passed along to
an organism’s offspring.
- These genes ensure that the offspring will belong to the same species
and will have similar characteristics, such as size and shape.
7. • Growth and development
- Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by
their genes.
- These genes provide instructions that will direct cellular growth and
development, ensuring that a species’ young will grow up to exhibit many
of the same characteristics as its parents.
- Most common example is metamorphosis in animals like frogs and
butterflies. Initially the young animals look different but eventually grow
and develop to be very similar to their parents.
8. • Regulation
- Organs perform specific functions, such as carrying oxygen throughout
the body, removing wastes, delivering nutrients to every cell, and cooling
the body.
- Two examples of internal functions regulated in an organism are nutrient
transport and blood flow.
- Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by
their genes.
9. • Homeostasis
- The ability of an organisms to maintain constant internal conditions.
- For example, an organism needs to regulate body temperature through a
process known as thermoregulation. Organisms that live in cold climates,
such as the bearcat, have structures that help them withstand low
temperatures and conserve body heat.
10. • Energy processing
- Other organisms use chemical energy stored in molecules obtained from
food.
- Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by
their genes.

Complete the table below by citing an example or proof of the
following properties of life.
22. 1. Sarah is a night person, she loves to hang out with
friends during late night. When she is in college, she
decided to work in a fast food chain in order to support
her school fees. So she start practice herself to wake up
early so that she can be do her duties in school and at
work.
2. Before a heavy storm, some birds migrate to a other
places together.
3. The red blood cells exchange oxygen and carbon
dioxide at the blood vessels in order to support life.
23. 4. Ginger forms masses of stems called rhizomes that
can give rise to multiple plants.
5. Tulsi plant' is an oxygen-generator which can give
competition to the best air purifiers in the world. “It gives
out oxygen for 20 of the 24 hours in a day as well as
ozone for 4 hours a day. 'Tulsi' also absorbs harmful
gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur
dioxide.
