A giant green man is standing in the smog at the top of the Empire State
Building. In his right hand he holds onto the tip of the building. In his left hand
he clutches tightly onto a six foot steel hammer. He slams the hammer into a
giant red bubble that bursts and releases thousands of purple dollar bills. The
dollar bills rain down onto a yellow checkered taxi driven by Harrison Ford. Ford
is sipping a cappuccino and wearing a black tuxedo with a bright white shirt.
Next to Harrison Ford is Meg Ryan who is in her diamond studded gown,
freshening her lipstick while misting on her favorite perfume. Unexpectedly, a
panda bear jumps through the open Taxi window, grabs Harrison’s cappuccino
and leaps across Meg Ryan and out the window. Racing to a nearby giant
redwood tree the panda climbs to the top only to find that it topples over onto the
top of the Empire State Building. The panda finds itself eye to eye with the giant
green man. With a broad panda smile he offers the giant green man the
cappuccino.

MENTAL MAPPING

WHAT ARE THE ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION?

The Events Between 1770-1773

Tensions dropped between the colonies and England between 1770-1773.

England eliminated some of the taxes that irked the colonists and as a result the
remaining taxes were tolerated. The tea boycott endured, although it was
sometimes ignored. More English goods were imported into the colonies, but
major issues still were not resolved. While recognizing that Parliament had the
right to regulate trade, Americans did not recognize Parliament’s right to tax
Americans.

Several violent acts stood testament to the fact that the problems between
England and her colonies were not over. In 1771 a British customs ship took a
smuggler’s ship into custody. Under cover of the night the British ship was
attacked and the smuggler’s ship was freed. Locked inside the hold of the British
ship were many customs men.

Leaders of the American Revolution used this time to heighten

organizational ties. Communications were tightened even between states.
These links would prove crucial during the revolution that was to follow.

The Boston Tea Party

Peace ended with the Boston Tea Party. Ultimately the Boston Tea
Party became the stimulus that lead to war between England and her colonies.
The British East India Company was an important and powerful British
company that suffered difficult times during 1773. To insure its survival,
Parliament passed a law making them exempt from paying taxes at home and
gave them the colonies as an exclusive market. Lord North demanded that the
colonies continue paying a three penny per pound tax on imported tea.

An uproar ensued in the colonies over these policies. What was to stop
Parliament from giving other companies other monopolies over trade with the
colonies? Monopolies that would artificially force prices up for Americans.
Additionally there was a fear that England’s determination to appoint an Anglican
Bishop over the colonies would make other churches subordinate to the
Anglican Church. This had already occurred in England. Many settled into the
colonies to avoid the religious persecution so prevalent in Europe. They were
quite concerned over the possibility of this occurring in the new land of America.
If they accepted Parliament’s tea tax, and laws restricting the practicing of
religion, soon other rules causing religious and economic hardship could also be
passed. This was not acceptable!

The communication network established during the peaceful period paid a

huge dividend. The rebels found out where the British tea would arrive before it
came. Tea was shipped to Charleston, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.
The protest in Boston turned into the Boston Tea Party. A group of men, dressed
as Indians, tossed the tea overboard and into Boston’s harbor. It was a
staggering loss of over $75,000, a huge sum in those days.

Britain Responds To the Boston Tea Party

Many Americans thought the Tea Party was unjust, including Benjamin
Franklin. In Boston, many merchants were willing to pay damages for the Tea
Party to avoid stringent punishment from England. The British government was
furious! They believed that very severe punishment was necessary to put the
rebellious colonists in their place. King George acted with strength and severity.
Parliament passed laws that the colonists called the Intolerable Acts. These
acts included:

• the port of Boston would remain closed until payment was received for the tea
tossed into its harbor.

• British courts would judge Englishmen accused of violent crimes in the

colonies and not the American courts.

• British troops could take shelter in any town in Massachusetts including

private homes without the consent of the homeowner.

• the Massachusetts’s colony charter’s right to self government was severely

reduced.

These Acts outraged the colonists along with others that were passed in
England at that time.

King George Makes Matters Worst

English Kings just prior to King George had lost a lot of their power to
Parliament. George’s mother encouraged him while young to reclaim some of
this power. As King he could appoint important men to Parliament. Men who
would represent his wishes. This was especially true in the House of Lords.
Lord North was George’s choice for Prime Minister and with George’s help
assumed this very important office. George’s policy of ruling the colonies with an
iron hand exacerbated the problems England was having with the colonies. His
refusal to offer any compromise fueled the flames of revolution.

The First Continental Congress Takes Place

Parliament miscalculated how the colonies would react to the punishments

given to the Massachusetts colony. Many believed strict and harsh punishment
would put fear into the other colonies and they would willingly submit to the iron
rule of England. They were very wrong. Many Americans feared their rights as
free men were being challenged, and that events in Massachusetts were just the
beginning of even more harsh rules for the other colonies. This was
unacceptable!

Unexpectedly, the other colonies came to the aid of Massachusetts who

was suffering under the Intolerable Acts. Food and other supplies were sent to
help them deal with the English blockade of their harbor. Finally a Continental
Congress was held in the year1774 at Philadelphia. With the exception of
Georgia, every colony sent a representative. King George was asked to end the
Intolerable Acts and they would cut off trade with England until this was done.
Congress sent a messenger with a Declaration of Rights and Grievances.
The colonies remained devoted to their King, but denounced how England was
treating them as second class citizens.

Closer to War

King George did not comply with their request, and Congress kept its
promise and stopped both imports and exports to England. The colonies began
more manufacturing to reduce the effect upon the colonies of not trading with
Britain. This helped them easily reduce reliance upon British imports.

During this period a volunteer army was built within the colonies. It was
becoming organized and ready to defend the colonists if attacked. It was
inevitable this point that events were moving colonies and England towards war.

HAMLET

To be, or not to be: that is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause: there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

 20

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscover'd country from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action. Soft you now!

The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons

Be all my sins remember'd.

BIOLOGY

CHAPTER I

Introduction to Biology

Biology is the study of living things. What exactly makes something

alive? Living things can be quite varied in their appearances, and many might
not even seem alive at first glance. Imagine trying to list all the living things that
you already know. That would be quite a project—wouldn’t it? Fortunately, you
will not have to perform this arduous task.

Even if you took a very long time to list all the living things you know, your
list would only represent a tiny proportion of all the living things that exist. Plus
there are countless others that no longer exist. Biologists’ recognize over
1,000,000 different living things and new ones are being found all the time.
Some are even quite large. Let’s learn about what characteristics are common to
all living things.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LIVING AND NONLIVING THINGS

A definition of living things

What is the meaning of the word alive? This is not simple question to
answer. Picture a blooming forest during the summer in your imagination.
Imagine seeing a dead tree standing tall within that forest. Is there anyway for
you to know for certain that this tree is dead?

Next picture this forest again, but this time during a winter freeze. Picture
all the trees. Don’t they look very similar to the dead tree you pictured in the last
paragraph? Yet these trees are alive and not dead. In spring they will sprout
leaves, grow new branches, and eventually flower. Yet right now how do they
differ in appearance from the dead tree you imagined earlier?

The new leaves that grow in the spring are a sign that a tree is still alive.
Are there other things you can see happening that also help you to know that a
tree is alive? Although Biologists don’t completely agree on a simple definition of
the word living, they do agree upon what are the characteristics of living things.
In this chapter we will examine these characteristics in more detail.

THE 9 CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THINGS

The word organism describes a living thing and each of them shows each
of the following characteristics of living things:
 24

Specific organization: Every organism exhibits a high level of organization.

This is true of the largest organisms down to organisms the size of a single cell.

Metabolism: Metabolism describes the various processes by which organisms

create and release the energy necessary for the existence of life.

Movement: Living things exhibit movement. For some living things this motion
may occur at the cellular level and not be apparent to the naked eye. Yet every
living organism must move about the various chemicals necessary for life and
eliminate waste products. Many organisms also move about in their
environments as well.

Irritability: This word describes how an organism reacts or responds to its

environment.

Growth: All living things grow.

Reproduction: Reproduction ensures the survival of the species, the specific

type of organism to which the living thing belongs.

Specialization: Every species is unique and distinct from every other.

Adaptation: To survive living things must be able to make changes as things

change in their environment/

Control: A living thing needs to direct all of its activities in some highly
organized or controlled fashion.

Many non-living things have some of these characteristics of life, but none
have all of them. For example, a rock may have a specific organization, and
move under certain conditions, but it does not show metabolism.

THOUGHT QUESTIONS

1. Define the 9 characteristics of living systems.

2. How are living things different from non-living things?

3. A simple mnemonic for remembering the 9 characteristics of living

things is SMM IGR SAC which stands for: (1) specific organization, (2)
metabolism, (3) movement, (4) irritability, (5) growth, (6) reproduction,
(7) specialization, (8) adaptation, and (9) control.
 25

THE LIFE FUNCTIONS OF LIVING THINGS

Now that we are familiar with the characteristics of living organisms, we

can examine the activities organisms perform. Every living organism must
perform each of life’s properties in order to remain alive. This common link binds
all living things to each other despite all the differences that may distinguish them
from each other.

Nutrition

Every organism must absorb from their environment, the chemicals

necessary for the continuance of their life. This process is called nutrition.
Nutrients are the chemicals that organisms must absorb for energy, growth, and
repair of their structures.

Nutrition exists in two forms amongst living things. Many organisms can
produce complex essential nutrients from simpler ones in their environments.
Many bacteria and one celled organisms do this as well as the green plants.
The form of nutrition where an organism produces its own food from the
environment is called photosynthesis.

All other organisms must obtain their nutrition by ingesting nutrients from
their environment. During digestion these nutrients are broken down into simpler
chemical forms that the organism can use for its life functions such as growth
and metabolism. Digestion is the activity through which organisms break down
nutrients into these simpler forms.

Growth

An increase in an organism’s size is called growth. The nutrients taken

within an organism enable it to grow. Single cell organisms usually grow by
becoming a larger single cell. Organisms built from many cells often grow by
creating additional new cells. Many organisms stop growing after reaching a
certain size, while others continuing growing their entire lives. Can you think of
any examples for each of these conditions? Hint: consider the differences
between plants and animals.

Respiration

It is respiration that enables living things to release the energy necessary

for keeping them alive. It involves a series of complex reactions including one
that involves burning sugar that releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
Aerobic respiration is the name given to this form of respiration since air is
necessary for it to be done successfully. Anaerobic respiration, respiration
without the presence of air, is another form of respiration that releases energy
within living organisms.
 26

Excretion

Living things produce waste products that must be eliminated.

Eliminating waste products is called excretion.

Movement

When organisms take nutrients within this is called movement. These

nutrients are then absorbed and moved throughout the living thing. This
movement is called circulation. Additionally organisms must eliminate waste
products, and often other specialized substances to various parts. This is also
part of circulation. Single cell organisms simply move these substances about
within themselves. Each single cell must be able to carry out all of the life
functions that a larger organism accomplishes by using specialized systems.

Adaptation

Although organisms live in environments that fluctuate, the internal

environment of an organism can only tolerate very small changes. Adaptation is
the process by which an organism senses its environment and adapts to
changes. This enables living things to maintain their internal stability. For
example, even on a very hot day, your body must maintain a body temperature of
98.6 degrees to properly function. Through regulation your body eliminates
excess heat to stay at this ideal temperature.

Metabolism

The chemical reactions that release energy within an organism are called
metabolism. Metabolism permits organisms to tear down complex chemicals
into simpler ones that they can they build into new complex forms essential for
their survival. It also permits energy to be released by living things.

Reproduction

Organisms must be able to replicate themselves. This ability to replicate

is called reproduction. Reproduction is not essential for an organism to survive,
but it is essential for the survival of an organism’s species or life form.

Sexual reproduction requires to partners while asexual reproduction

happens when a organism can produce another like itself on its own.
 27

Control

Each living thing from a single cell to the largest organism, must regulate
and direct all of its essential life functions. The term control refers to living
things ability to direct and coordinate these functions.
