Chapter 1 Invitation to Biology (Sections 1.1 - 1.4)
1.1 The Secret Life of Earth Biology  is the systematic study of life  We have encountered only a fraction of the organisms that live on Earth, in part because we have explored only a fraction of its inhabited regions
New Species Hundreds of new species are discovered each year – but thousands  become extinct due to activities of man
1.2 The Science of Nature Biologists  think about life at different levels of organization Emergent properties  appear at successively higher levels Life   emerges at the cellular level
Key Terms biology  The scientific study of life emergent property  A characteristic of a system that does not appear in any of the system’s component parts
A Pattern in Life’s Organization All matter consists of  atoms , which combine as  molecules Organisms  are individuals that consist of one or more  cells Cells of larger multicelled organisms are organized as  tissues ,  organs , and  organ systems
Key Terms atom   Fundamental building block of all matter molecule  An association of two or more atoms cell  Smallest unit of life organism   Individual that consists of one or more cells
Key Terms tissue   In multicelled organisms, specialized cells organized in a pattern that allows them to perform a collective function organ  In multicelled organisms, a grouping of tissues that perform a collective function organ system  In multicelled organisms, set of tissues and cells engaged in a collective function that keeps the body functioning properly
Organization Among Organisms A  population  is a group of individuals of a species in a given area A  community  is all populations of all species in a given area  An  ecosystem  is a community interacting with its environment The  biosphere  includes all regions of Earth that hold life

Key Concepts The Science of Nature We understand life by studying it at different levels of organization, which extend from atoms and molecules to the biosphere  The quality we call “life” emerges at the level of cells
1.3 How Living Things Are Alike Life has underlying unity: All living things have similar characteristics Continual inputs of energy and cycling of materials maintain life’s complex organization  Organisms sense and respond to change All organisms use information in DNA inherited from parents to function and reproduce
(1) Organisms Require Energy and Nutrients All organisms require  energy  and  nutrients  to sustain themselves energy  The capacity to do work nutrient  Substance that an organism needs for growth and survival, but cannot make for itself
Producers and Consumers Producers  harvest energy from the environment to make their own food by processes such as  photosynthesis Consumers  eat other organisms, or their wastes and remains
Key Terms producer  Organism that makes its own food using energy and simple raw materials from the environment photosynthesis   Process by which producers use light energy to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water consumer  Organism that gets energy and nutrients by feeding on tissues, wastes, or remains of other organisms
Energy, Producers, and Consumers Energy flows one way Materials recycle
Fig. 1.4b, p. 6 C  All of the energy that enters the world of life eventually flows out of it, mainly as heat released back to the environment. Stepped Art Energy, Producers, and Consumers sunlight energy A  Producers harvest energy from the environment. Some of that energy flows from producers to consumers. Producers  plants and other  self-feeding organisms Consumers  animals, most fungi, many protists, bacteria B  Nutrients  that become  incorporated into the cells of producers and consumers are eventually released by decomposition. Some cycle back to  producers.

(2) Organisms Sense and Respond to Change Organisms keep conditions in their internal environment within ranges cells tolerate—a process called  homeostasis homeostasis   Set of processes by which an organism keeps its internal conditions within tolerable ranges Includes body fluid composition and temperature
Stimulation and Response Every organism senses and responds to conditions inside and outside itself
(3) Organisms Use DNA DNA  contains information that guides all of an organism’s metabolic activities, including  growth ,  development , and  reproduction Small variations in DNA  structure give rise to differences between species and individuals The passage of DNA from parents to offspring is  inheritance
Key Terms DNA   Deoxyribonucleic acid; carries hereditary information that guides growth and development growth   In multicelled species, an increase in the number, size, and volume of cells development  Multistep process by which the first cell of a new individual becomes a multicelled adult
Key Terms reproduction  Processes by which parents produce offspring inheritance  Transmission of DNA from parents to offspring
Key Concepts Life’s Unity  All organisms consist of one or more cells that take in energy and raw materials to stay alive All sense and respond to stimuli All function and reproduce with the help of DNA
1.4 How Living Things Differ Different types of organisms differ greatly in details of body form and function Biodiversity  is the sum of differences among living things  biodiversity   Variation among living organisms
Diversity of Life Bacteria  and  archaeans  are single-celled, and their DNA is not contained within a  nucleus   Eukaryotes   ( protists ,  plants ,  fungi , and  animals ) can be single-celled or multicelled, and their DNA is contained within a nucleus
Key Terms bacterium   Member of a large group of single-celled organisms archaean   Member of a group of single-celled organisms that differ from bacteria nucleus  Double-membraned sac that encloses a cell’s DNA eukaryote  Organism whose cells characteristically have a nucleus
Eukaryotes Protists  are the simplest eukaryotes, ranging from amoebas to giant kelps Many  fungi  are decomposers, including mushrooms Most  plants  are photosynthetic producers that provide food for most other organisms Animals  eat other organisms; they include herbivores, carnivores,  scavengers,  and parasites
Key Terms protist  Diverse group of simple eukaryotes fungus  Type of eukaryotic consumer that obtains nutrients by digestion and absorption outside the body plant  A multicelled, typically photosynthetic producer animal Multicelled consumer that develops through a series of stages and moves about during part or all of its life cycle
