Dear Lord and Father of all,

Thank you for today.

Thank you for ways in which you provide for us all.
For Your protection and love we thank you.
Help us to focus our hearts and minds now on what
we are about to learn.
Inspire us by Your Holy Spirit as we listen and write.
Guide us by your eternal light as we discover more
about the world around us.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus.
Amen.

Introduction to Biology

What is Biology?
 4
Origins of word “biology”
🐠 Logos =
🐠 Bios =
 5

Characteristics of Life
1. Cellular composition 6. Metabolism

2. Growth 7. Specific organization

8. Homeostasis
3. Reproduction
9. Responsiveness
4. Movement
5. Adaptation
 6

Cellular Composition
Made up of at least one cell

Unicellular - made of one cell

(bacteria, amoeba, paramecium)

Multicellular - made up of two or

more cells (plants, fungi, animals)
 Growth

Increase in cell size (unicellular) and/or an increase in cell

number (multicellular)
 8

Reproduction
Asexual- cell division (mitosis)— Ex:  bacteria 
one cell becomes two

Sexual- union of sex cells Ex:  plants and animals

(sperm and egg)
 Movement

3 types:

1. Place to Place- (ex:  bear running, bird flying, etc)

2. External Part- (ex:  + phototropism, plants orient

leaves toward sun)
3. Internal- (ex:  cytoplasmic streaming)
 10

Adaptation

Changing to meet the needs of the

environment

Examples:
1.  Bird migration- behavioral
adaptation
 
 11

2. Human body temperature- Physiological adaptation

3. Hibernation- physiological adaptation

4. Hare ear length (desert vs. arctic hares)- structural

adaptation
 12

Metabolism

Set of chemical reactions that convert “food” into

energy
 13

Specific Organization

Certain parts do specific jobs (ex:  heart, nucleus,

chloroplasts, etc)
 14

Homeostasis
🐠 Maintaining the same state
🐠 Homeo = same, steady
🐠 Stasis = state
🐠 Examples:
🐠 -Water balance inside and outside of cell
🐠 -Human body temperature
🐠 *Cells function best when these are in balance
 15

Responsiveness

Reaction(s) to various stimuli

Examples of stimuli:  light, heat, pH, vibration,

smell, etc.– earthworms respond to all of these

Branches of Biology
 17

“
🐠 Zoology

- the study of animals

 18

“
🐠 Ichthyology
-  the study of fish

Why Important?
Fish are indicator species.  Alert humans
to potential environmental problems
 19

“
🐠 Mammalogy

-  study of mammals
 20

“
🐠 Ornithology

-  the study of birds

 21

“
🐠 Botany

-  the study of plants

Why important?

Food production, medicines

 22

“
🐠 Microbiology

-  study of small life

 23

“
🐠 Anatomy

- study of an organism’s parts

 24

Physiology

🐠 - study of how organism’s parts work

Why important?

Health professions, veterinarians

 Entomology
-study of insects

Why important?

West Nile virus, Yellow fever–

carried by mosquitoes
 26

“
Genetics
🐠 -  study of heredity and genetic material
(DNA/RNA, chromosomes, genes)

Why important?
Cloning, research, solving crime
 27

Ecology

-study of all life in a particular area, the relationships b/t those life
forms and the environment

Why important?
Overpopulation
Ozone Depletion/Greenhouse Effect
Rainforest Destruction
 28

Cell Biology
- the study of cells
Why Important?

Need to know about cells to learn

more about whole organisms
 29

Biology Pioneers
 30

1.  Aristotle

-Greek (1st bio. teacher)

“Father of Biology and Zoology”

-Supported spontaneous generation theory

-Created a theory of the elements
4 elements:
Earth B.  Air
Water D.  Fire
-1st person to start classifying organisms
 31

2.  Hippocrates

-Greek
-“Father of Medicine”
-Hippocratic Oath for doctors (part of
his life-long legacy)
