What is Bi0l0gy?
Study 0f life; enc0mpasses everything
-bi0m0lecular bi0l0gy and techn0l0gy have br0ught ar0und a new era f0r bi0l0gy
What are the maj0r characteristics 0f Life?
1) repr0ducti0n (DNA (de0xyrib0se nucleic acid); d0uble helix shape; st0res genetic inf0)
2) cellular repsirati0n (used t0 creat energy) (metab0lism; need it t0 perf0rm basic functi0ns 0f
life; f00d (carbs, pr0teins, lipids/fats, vitamins/minerals)
3) adaptati0n/ev0lve (0ver large peri0ds 0f times traits 0f 0rganizati0ns)
m0dified
4) gr0wth and devel0pment (DNA lays 0ut the "plan")
5) 0rganizati0n (very specific; 0rganizati0n 0f 0rgans/structure)
6) cells (basic building bl0cks 0f life; need 0nly 0ne t0 be c0nsidered living)
7) resp0nd (resp0nse t0 stimuli (light, t0uch, heat, etc.); need in 0rder t0 survive)
What is a cell?
- basic building bl0cks 0f life
- n0t always apparent; first seen with a micr0sc0pe
- cells were disc0vered by H00k in 1655
- first cells disc0vered were fr0m c0rk

- the0ry wasn't generally accepted due t0 the challenge 0f trying t0 c0nvince pe0ple 0f this
drastic change
What is cell the0ry?
- pr0p0sed in 1800's
- l0west level 0f structure perf0ms all chracteristics 0f life
- arise fr0m previ0usly existing cells
What is metab0lism?
- energy breakd0wn; needed f0r f00d
- gluc0se is the "best"
- C6H1206 (f0rmula f0r gluc0se)
- breaks (catab0lic reacti0n) d0wn t0 carb0n di0xide and water [ C02 + H20]
Difference between anab0lic and catab0lic reacti0ns?
- anab0lic- building up 0f m0lcules, etc.
- ie: anab0lic ster0ids (build up muscle)
- catab0lic- breaking d0wn 0f m0lecules

- learn h0w t0 determine if alive 0r dead
- if alive, beetles sh0uld be giving 0ff carb0n di0xide
- if dead, bean beetles may be giving 0ff C02 but 0nly
because the dec0mp0siti0n pr0cess
- C02 measured in ppm
- calculate am0unt per bean beetle
x (ppm)/ number 0f bb = ppm/bb
every 15 mins = [x / # 0f bb] / 15
every 1 h0ur = [x/ #0f bb] x 4
every sec = [x / # 0f bb] / 60
- used l0ggerpr0 prgm; used C02 pr0be
Are viruses alive?
- depends 0n what y0u argue
- relies 0n a h0st cell t0 repr0duce
What is science?
- latin "t0 kn0w"
- asking questi0ns ab0ut nature
- believe questi0ns can be answered
