Study Notes
Introduction to Biology
- Biology is the study of life
- Biologists study the interactions between living things
- No living thing exists in isolation
- Biologists study problems and propose solutions
- Examples of study problems include medical treatment, disease prevention, and endangered species prevention
Scientific Information
- Scientific information can be qualitative or quantitative
- Quantitative information uses numerical data
- Quantitative data can be compared, graphed, or tabulated
- Qualitative information is observational data
- Scientists use the International System of measurements (SI)
- Advantages of SI include a few basic units and the use of multiples of ten
- Common metric units in biology include meter (length), gram (mass), liter (volume), second (time), and Kelvin (temperature)
Science and Society
- Some people blame scientists for controversial things in science
- Scientific knowledge is never inherently good or bad
- Society must be responsible for its ethical use of scientific discoveries
Ethics
- Ethics include moral principles and values held by humans
- Science cannot answer all questions
- Some questions, like good versus evil, are not in the realm of science
Technology
- Technology applies scientific research to society's needs and problems
- Increased food production, reduced manual labor, and decreased environmental pollution are examples of technology's impact
Living Things
- Eight characteristics classify a living thing
- Living things are made up of cells—the smallest unit of life
- Living things reproduce (asexual or sexual)
- Living things use a universal genetic code (amino acids)
- Living things grow and develop (differentiation)
- Living things maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis)
- Living things obtain and use materials and energy (metabolism)
- Living things respond to their environment
Living Things and Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction requires two parents with genetically diverse offspring
- Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, producing genetically identical offspring
- Examples of asexual reproduction include binary fission, budding, fragmentation, and vegetative propagation
- Examples of sexual reproduction include fertilization in mammals, birds, and reptiles, and pollination in flowering plants
