Introduction: Overview of biology


I. What is biology ? II. Definition of life: Cellular organization Growth and development Regulation of metabolic processes Movement Irritability (Homeostasis) Reproduction Evolution and adaptation

III. Transmission of information:


1. DNA molecules Genetic information

2.Chemical & electrical signal Hormon Nerve cells

IV. Evolution: primary unifying concept


Species adaptation Natural selection Selective pressure

V. Hierarchi of biological organization


1. Organismal level of organization
Atoms and molecules Macromolecules (Biomolecules) Subcelluar organells Cells Tissues Organs Organ system Organisms

2.Ecological level of organization


Population Community Ecosystem Biosphere

VI. Biological diversity

VII. Life requires energy supply


1. Energy flows through organisms Metabolism: catabolism & anabolism

2.Energy flows through ecosystem Energy flows through food chains

Scientific Method
VIII. Biology as a science (Scientific method) Scientific thinking process Scientific observation and question Hypothesis: possible explanation to account for observation Scientific experiments: testing hypothesis Results of experiments Scientific theory: e.g. Evolutionary theory Ethical dimensions of science
