Define Biology
Study of living organisms
What characteristics do all living things share
1 Cellular Organization,
2 Reproduction,
3 Growth,
4 Adaptation,
5 Homeostasis
Classification of living things
( 5 kingdoms )
Animals
Plant
Fungi
Protist
Organization of life ( Starts with Atoms )
Atom
Molecule
Cell
Tissue
Organ
Organ System
Organism
Population
Community
Ecosystem
Biosphere
Producers ( Autotrophs )
Capture energy and produce food by photosynthesis
Consumers ( Heterotrophs )
Need food provided for them to survive (us)
Decomposers
Energy from dead
Photosynthesis
Food from sun
Homeostasis
Stable body heat even when the weather is different
first ancestral cells
Prokaryotic cells ( Bacteria and Archea )
Eukeryotic cells
Protists ( Close to us )
Plants
Fungi
Animals
9 Classification categories
Least to Most
Species
Genus
Family
Order
class
phylum
kingdom
supergroup
domain
Autotrophs Use/Need
Photosynthesis
Chemeostasis
Matter
Anything that takes up space
(solid,liquid,gas)
identify the most important elements in living organisms
C, H, N, O, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Structure of Atoms
Extremely small, positively charged neucleus, surrounded by negative electrons
Subatomic Particles
Proton
Neutron
Electron
Proton ( +,-, 0 ? )
+ in nucleus
Neutron ( +,-,0?)
0 in neucleus of Atoms
Electron (+,-,0?)
- orbits the nucleus of Atoms
How does the arragnment of electrons determine an elements reactivity ( Chem Reaction )
Atoms with incomplete Valance shells are typically more reactive
Stable Isotopes
Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms
Radioisotopes
Unstable forms of an element
Atoms v Molecules v Compounds
Molecules = 2 or more atoms of the same type connected
Compound = 2 or more atoms from different elements and join together
Atom = Smallest unit of matter, with all properties of its element
