Life Processes, Microscope & Cell Structure and Function Unit 3 Topic: Life Processes Aim: How can we differentiate between living and nonliving things? 1. How can we define “life”? Biology: the study of life and living things All living things must maintain homeostasis 1. How can we define “life”? Homeostasis / Dynamic Equilibrium: the maintenance of a stable internal environment in spite of changes in the external environment To maintain homeostasis, all organisms must carry out 8 basic life functions 1. How can we define “life”? Characteristics of Life / Life Functions: Nutrition Regulation Transport Synthesis Respiration (Cellular) Growth Excretion Reproduction 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 1. Nutrition: the process of obtaining and processing food Autotrophic nutrition: when the organism makes their own food Heterotrophic nutrition: when the organism cannot make their own food 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? Nutrition involves 3 parts: Ingestion: taking food in from the environment Digestion: breaking food down into nutrients for absorption Egestion: elimination of undigested food (feces) 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 2. Transport: process of absorbing and circulating materials throughout an organism 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? Absorption: the process by which the nutrients and other dissolved materials are taken into the cells and bloodstream Circulation: the movement of materials to and from the cells, within cells, and/or throughout an organism 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 3. Respiration (Cellular): a complex series of chemical reactions that release energy for life activities ✪ An organism’s energy is stored in food nutrients/organic molecules ✪ Respiration ≠ breathing! 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 4. Excretion: the removal of waste materials produced in the cells as a result of life activities (removal of metabolic wastes) Examples: Urine, sweat, CO2, H2O 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 5. Regulation: life activity responsible for the control and coordination of activities of an organism ✪ Allows organisms to respond to changes in the environment ○ Stimulus: A change in the internal or external environment of the organism Examples: find food, avoid danger, respond to light etc. 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? ✪ Nervous and endocrine systems are responsible for regulation Example: Quick reactions or hormonal changes Quick Do Now: 1. Which life process involves the absorption and circulation of materials throughout the organism? 2. Which life process involves the getting rid of metabolic waste products? 3. Which life process involves the process of breaking down food into nutrients? 4. Which life process involves the control and coordination of life activities? 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 6. Synthesis: the process of producing complex substances from simpler substances Examples: Simpler food molecules produced during digestion are put together to make the complex materials needed by the organism 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 7. Growth: an increase in the size and/or number of cells of an organism 2. How can we describe the 8 life functions? 8.
