- Introduction - Science Of Biology Thepinsta.cm Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 1 Objectives: • Understand the process involved in scientific discovery • Describe how hypothesis is formulated and how it becomes theory • Understand what biology is • Identify the properties of life • Classify living organisms • Define organization of life • Identify branches of Biology Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 2 Science 3 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Snops.com The Nature of Science Science is a way knowing or understanding the natural world Science is the knowledge gained by systematic and logical study. Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 4 Scientific method illustration. normaals How is Science Done? (The Scientific Method) • Scientists use a systematic approach to gain understanding of the natural world by conducting the following steps: Medium.com Observation 1) Observation: the use of one or more of the senses to gather information (ex. I notice that majority of smokers have heart problems) 2) Collect data: information that you gather in your observations 5 Steemit.com How is Science Done? 3) Make hypothesis: a possible scientific explanation for a set of observations (ex. I suggest (hypothesis) that smoking causes heart problems) 4) Conduct Controlled Experiment: A repeated procedure that tests the hypothesis (ex. I take a group of healthy individuals who are smokers and another of healthy individuals that are non-smokers but all belong to the same gender and age and examine their heart condition) Healthyvoyager.com 6 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ How is Science Done? Smartdatacollective.com 5) Data analysis Onhandsschool.com 6) Conclusion (ex. I conclude that smoking can lead to heart problems) 7) Share data 7 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili How is Science Done? • Results are prone to change (not final for sure) studyinsweden.se Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 8 Example: Does this mean that the what the baby finds on the floor will always be not food? Nerdybaby.com 9 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Example: Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 10 Example: Does this mean that the problem will always be “burned bulb”? 11 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ What is Controlled experiment? Variables and Controls • It is an experiment where everything is held constant (in control) except for one variable (independent variable) Independent variable (manipulated variable): is a factor that does not depend on any other factors, it’s the cause (ex. Smokers vs. non smokers) Dependent variable (responding variable): is the factor that is being measured in the experiment and it is affected by the independent variable (it is the effect) (ex. heart condition) Control variable: a variable that is held constant and unchanged in order to test the relationship between the other two variables Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 12 What is Controlled experiment? Variables and Controls Khanacademy.org Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 13 In our smoking experiment which group Represents the control and which one represent the experimental? - In group 2 individuals are: Healthy Non-smokers - In group 1 individuals are: Healthy Smokers Same age Same gender Same age Same gender Control group Experimental group Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ All conditions are kept the same 14 • How do we know that the plant grew because of the water we gave to it? • How do we know that the group of smokers got heart problems because of smoking and not because of anything else? Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 15 Why Do We Need A Control Group? • A control group is not to test the hypothesis but ensures that the result was not by chance or a coincidence Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 16 What Is The Science Of Biology? Bio: Life Logy: The study of Biology = The scientific study of life (living things) Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ Fuseschool.org 17 Properties of Life Cells • Things are considered alive if they: ✔ Are consisted of cells (cellular organization) Nature.com Growth ✔ Can grow and develop (growth) 123rf.com ✔ Can respond to stimuli (sensitivity) Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ sensitivity wikipedia Pintrest.com 18 Properties of Life Homeostasis ✔ Can maintain internal balance (homeostasis) Clip2art.com Clipart-library.com ✔ Can reproduce (reproduction) Alexisleon.com Image.slideshareedn.com ✔ Can evolve and adapt to the environment (adaptation) Evolution.Berkeley.edu Moransanimalsadaptations.yolasite.com Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ Historyrocket.com Adaptation 19 Properties of Life ✔ Can Obtain and use energy (energy processing) Energy processing Healthhub.sg En.Wikipedia.org ✔ Are complex and highly ordered (Ordered complexity ) RNA Molecule Ordered but not that complex Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ Ordered complexity 20 Identify whether the following are living organisms or not: Hakaimagazine.com fish Fast-growing-trees.com Thoughtco.com tree rock Unsplash.com flower Imperial collage of science, technology and medicine Wired.com car Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ bacteria 21 Question: • A bird laid an egg, what property of life does this example represent?

A) B) C) D) Sensitivity Order of complexity Cellular organization Growth Pinterest.com Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 23 Living System Organization • Living system (biological world) shows hierarchical organization where each level builds on the level below it • Vibrationaldoorways.com 24 Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ Living System Organization (Levels Of Organization In Biology) 1) Cellular level 2) Organismal level Pintrest.com Istockphoto.com Owlcation.com 3) Populational level Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 25 Living System Organization 1) Cellular Level Atoms Molecules Macromolecules Organelle Cell (the smallest unit of life) Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 26 Living System Organization 1) Cellular Level • Atom: the smallest unit of an element (ex. Gold, silver, carbon) Wikipedia.com Livescience.com • Molecule: more than one atom • Macromolecule: many molecules together (ex. Protein, lipids, carbohydrates) Sciencetrends.com • Organelle: more than one macromolecule (ex. Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus) • Cell: more than one organelle, it is the smallest unit of life Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 27 Living System Organization 2) Organismal Level Tissue Organ Organ system Organism Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 28 Living System Organization 2) Organismal Level ADAM •Tissue: group of cells working together (ex. nervous tissue) Innerbody.com • Organ: group of tissue (ex. brain) Livescience.com • Organ system: group of organs (ex. nervous system) •Organism: any living thing made of q or more cells (ex. a duck, a human) Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ Cgtrader.com 29 Zygote.com Living System Organization 3) Populational Level Population Species Community Ecosystem Biosphere Dr. Alaa Al Helaili Ⓡ 30 Living System Organization 3) Populational Level • Population: a group of organisms (ex.
