Characteristics, Needs and Chemistry

Section: 3 Characteristics of Section: 3 Characteristics of Living ThingsLiving Things

1. All living things contain cells.

• Cells – basic unit of structure and function.

• Unicellular – one cell.

• Multicellular – many cells.

2. Living things obtain and use materials and energy.

Plants obtain their energy from sunlight.

Animals obtain their energy from the food they eat.

3. All living things grow and develop.

• Grow – to get bigger

• Development – process that occurs in an organism that makes it more complex.

Growth and Development

• Children Grow- get bigger

• Develop- change body form

• Growth without development

4. Living things maintain a stable internal environment.

Homeostasis- maintaining a stable internal environment

Despite changes in the temperature of the environment, a human maintains a constant body temperature.

• 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is normal for humans

5. All organisms respond to their surroundings.

• Stimulus – a change in an organism’s surroundings.

• Response – reaction to a stimulus.

6. All living things reproduce.

• Reproduction – produce offspring.

• Asexual – One parent.

• Sexual – two parents.

7. All living things have a genetic code (DNA or RNA)

• A cat cannot litter of puppies.

• A dog cannot have kittens

• An organisms DNA codes for that specific organism

8. Taken as a group, living things change over time.

Living things adapt to their environment.

An adaptation is a charachteristic that helps an organism better survive or reproduce in an environment

Plants that live in the desert survive because they have become adapted to the conditions of the desert.

Desert Desert PlantsPlants

THE NEEDS OF LIVING THINGS

1. Energy

• Heterotrophs – have to eat food to get energy.

2. All living things need water.

• Need water to break down materials and dissolve chemicals.

3. Living Space

• All organisms need a place for food water and shelter.

• There is a lot of competition over living space.

4. Stable internal conditions.

• Homeostasis – the maintenance of stable internal conditions.

Explaining the evidence

• Hypothesis- a statement that is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answers to a scientific question

A hypothesis must be testable. (not useful if it can’t be tested)

Ex. The moon is made of cheese

Hypothesis are educated statements that are testable but many times false when tested

Scientific Theory• Science Theory- an explanation of a natural

phenomenon that is supported by a large body of scientific evidence obtained by many different investigations and observations.

• A theory remains valid only if every new piece of information supports it.

• If available information does not support a theory, then the theory is disproved. 

• New discoveries and in science occasionally change a theory.

Scientific Law• Scientific Law - describes a natural event; it is a fact• Universal Law of Gravity• All objects attract other objects

Nature of Science

• Science never reaches “Fact”

• Constantly new technologies and ideas arise that disprove current theories.

• Science gets as close to “Fact” as possible as people fail to disprove a concept.

Yes!At the time with the current knowledge this could be repeated and have a similar result

The Goal of Science• To investigate and

understand nature

• To explain events in nature

• To use those explanations to make useful predictions

Intro• Turn in your syllabus if you have not yet

1.What is spontaneous generation?

2.What did spontaneous generation advocates say was the vital force (or necessary variable needed for Spallanzani’s experiment to produce life)?

3.How did Pasteur improve Spallanzani’s experiment and contradict those advocates?

4.What are the goals of science?

The scientific method always starts with observation and you then “state a problem”

What is the problem here?What is the problem here?

Vocabulary• Controlled experiment – a test of the effect of a single

variable keeping all other variables the same.• You change “only one variable” in an controlled

experiment

• Constants- all variable that kept the same

• Variable – anything that you change or changes as a result of what you do

My car wont start and I want to set My car wont start and I want to set up a controlled experiment. How up a controlled experiment. How would you do this?would you do this?

Vocabulary

• Hypothesis - possible explanation for a set of observations or possible answer to a scientific question.

• The plant is dying because it needs to be watered.

It is a statement which is It is a statement which is an educated guess and it an educated guess and it is testableis testable

Vocabulary

• Control group – In experiment this is the group that you compare your results to.

Constants or controls are needed to eliminate alternate explanations of experimental results. For example, suppose a researcher feeds an experimental artificial sweetener to thirty laboratory rats and observes that eight of them subsequently die of dehydration. The underlying cause of death could be the sweetener itself

or something unrelated.

• Experimental group – In an experiment this is the group in which you change a variable on and compare to the control group

• In a controlled experiment you have a experimental group

Vocabulary

Experimental Group: Plant AExperimental Group: Plant A

(watered)(watered)

Control Group: Plant B is left Control Group: Plant B is left the same (not watered)the same (not watered)

Vocabulary

• Experimental variable – The variable you change in an experimental group.

• This will be your independent variable

• Watered or not

• Independent variable – factor in an experiment that a scientist purposely changes; also known as manipulated variable

• “The cause”

• Do you or don’t you water the plant?

Vocabulary

Vocabulary• Dependant variable - factor in an

experiment that a scientist wants to observe, which may change in response to the manipulated variable; also known as a responding variable

DieDie

• Observation - use of one or more of the senses—sight, hearing, touch, smell, and sometimes taste—to gather information

– Qualitative observations involve characteristics that cannot be easily measured or counted

– Quantitative observations involve numbers

Vocabulary

• Data collection – collection of evidence; information gathered from observations

Vocabulary

• Data analysis - Observing your data, picking out the important results, and making sense of the data.

• Data is anything collected through observation in an experiment

Vocabulary

• Inference - logical interpretation based on prior knowledge and experience

• For example, researchers might test small quantities, or samples, of water from a reservoir. If samples collected from different parts of the reservoir are all clean enough to drink, the researchers may infer that all the water in the reservoir is safe to drink.

Vocabulary

• Conclusion - Using the evidence of an experiment to determine whether the hypothesis was supported or refuted(wrong).

Vocabulary

Question

• How is an inference different than an observation?

Graphs are a useful tool in data analysis

• There are many types

• When you use them depends on the data you are analyzing

A few types of graphs

• Line Graph

• Bar Graph

• Pie Graph

There are times where one graph is There are times where one graph is far better than the othersfar better than the others

Line Graphs• A line graph is a way to summarize how two pieces of

information are related and how they vary depending on one another.

• The numbers along a side of the line graph are called the scale.

John's WeightJohn's Weight

This line graph shows how John's weight varied from the beginning of 1991 to the beginning of 1995.

The weight scale runs vertically, while the time scale is on the horizontal axis.

Following the gridlines up from the beginning of the years, we see that John's weight was

68 kg in 1991, 70 kg in 1992, 74 kg in 1993, 74 kg in 1994, and 73 kg in 1995.

Examining the graph also tells us that John's weight increased during 1991 and 1995, stayed the same during 1991, and fell during 1994.

What does this line graph show us?

Car Value Versus the MileageCar Value Versus the Mileage

• This line graph shows the average value of a car versus the mileage on the car.

• When the car is new, it costs $14000. The more the car is driven, the more its value falls according to the curve above.

• Its value falls $2000 the first 20000 miles it is driven. When the mileage is 80000, the truck's value is about $4000.

Car Value Versus the Car Value Versus the MileageMileage

Pie Chart

• A pie chart is a circle graph divided into pieces, each displaying the size of some related piece of information.

• Pie charts are used to display the sizes of parts that make up some whole.

Pie Chart

• The pie chart shows the ingredients used to make a sausage and mushroom pizza.

• The fraction of each ingredient by weight is shown in the pie chart.

• We see that half of the pizza's weight comes from the crust. The mushrooms make up the smallest amount of the pizza by weight, since the slice corresponding to the mushrooms is smallest. Note that the sum of the decimal sizes of each slice is equal to 1 (the "whole" pizza").

Bar Graphs

• Bar graphs consist of an axis and a series of labeled horizontal or vertical bars that show different values for each bar.

• The numbers along a side of the bar graph are called the scale.

Fruit Sold Fruit Sold

Bar Graphs

• This bar chart shows the weight in kilograms of some fruit sold one day by a local market.

• We can see that 52 kg of apples were sold, 40 kg of oranges were sold, and 8 kg of star fruit were sold.
