Biology:
is a natural science concerned with the study of life living organisms their structure, function, growth, origin,
evolution, distribution, taxonomy and interrelationships.

Biology:
Utilises Observation and
the Scientific Method

Flying Blind – Lazzaro Spallanzani and Bats
In 1790 an Italian scientist, Lazzaro Spallanzani observed that owls were not able to fly in complete darkness whilst bats had no difficulty.
He experimented by isolating the bats ability to see, smell, vocalise and hear.
Spallanzani discovered that bats without the use of vision or smell could still navigate and avoid objects, however those with plugged ears, particularly just one plugged ear, could not.
He concluded bats see by hearing. Not many people believed him.
6
It was not until the 1930’s that an American scientist Donald Griffin would finally determine the mechanism for bats navigation.
Griffin, using experiments with Little Brown Bats, determined that the bats were emitting a series of very high-pitched clicks that increased as they approached prey.
These clicks were echoed back to the bat from the objects and the bats were using these echoes to determine the precise location of the object.
Echo Location

The Scientific Method Based on Observation Hypotheses are generated
Possible explanations for an observed phenomena Hypotheses can be either supported or rejected by
experiments Experiments are designed and conducted Results are analysed Conclusions are deduced Results are reported and published Method is replicated and tested by others
8
Organisms are living things How do we know that something is living
or non-living?
Animals: -
Plants: -
Mould: -
9
Seven Characteristics of Living Organisms:
• Movement• Respiration • Sensitivity • Growth • Reproduction • Excretion • Nutrition

Living, dead or non living?
Non- LivingIn order to consider something non-living, it must not have any of the 7 characteristics of living things.
orIt was living or dead and has been processed (chemically altered)
DeadIn order to consider something dead, it must have been alive at one time and it no longer has any of the 7 characteristics of living things.

Cell Intro video
13
The Cell Theory All living things are made up of
one or more cells – cells are very small
There can be different kinds of cells within living organisms. (skin cells, brain cells, muscle
cells)
Cells are the functional unit of all living things This means that they are where all
the action happens, they process food, give structure and many other things.
14
The Cell Theory All cells come from pre-existing cells.
15
Cells and organisms vary greatly in size
16
Units of measurement:1 micrometer = 1 micron 1 μm = 1 μm1 micrometer = 0.001 millimeter 1 μm = 0.001 mm1 micrometer = 0.0001 centimeter 1 μm = 0.0001 cm1 micrometer = 1.0 × 10-6 meter 1 μm = 1.0 × 10-6 m
Single or multicelled?Unicellular organisms: composed of only 1 cell- Microscopic Euglena 10 microns
Multicellular organisms: composed of many cells, cells specialised - Microscopic to Macroscopic Hydra 10,000 microns
17
Cells and Microscopes There are several types of microscopes, each can allow us
to view cells differently and to a different degree.
18
Cell Structure There are many
types of cells and each has its own structure and purpose. each cell has
features that help it carry out its purpose.
(e.g Nerve cells)
19
Properties of cells Despite cells having different functions, all cells
have some things in common.
• Plasma or Cell membrane - separates the cell from it’s external environment.
• Cytoplasm – Jelly like holds all the organelles, ions, salt, enzymes, nucleus and is 90% water. Cytosol is the fluid part of the cytoplasm.
• DNA- genetic material that directs the cell’s activities.
•Organelles – Components inside the cells cytoplasm that perform different functions.
20
Prokaryotes Vs Eukaryotes PRO More primitive cells Lack membrane bound
organelles Smaller than
Eukaryotic cells
EU Complex cells Have membrane bound
specialised organelles Larger than prokaryotic
cells
21
Prokaryote cells simple cells (example: E. coli)
capsule: slimy outer coating
cell wall: tougher middle layer
cell membrane: delicate inner skin
22
cytoplasm: inner liquid filling DNA in one big loop pilli: for sticking to things flagella: for swimming ribosomes: for building
proteins
Prokaryote cells (example: E. coli)
23
Prokaryote lifestyle unicellular: all alone
colony: forms a film
filamentous: forms a chain of cells
24
Prokaryote Feeding Photosynthetic: energy from sunlight Chemosynthetic: energy from chemicals
25
Prokaryote Feeding Disease-causing: feed on living things Decomposers: feed on dead things
26
Prokaryote E. coli bacteria on the head of a steel pin.
27
Eukaryotes DNA is located inside the nucleus as thread like
chromosomes Specialised organelles each performing a specific function
Eukaryotes
Protists* Mostly single
celled but occasionall
y multicellul
ar (seaweed)
* Very diverse- include moulds, algae,
protozoan
Fungi
* Some are
unicellular but mostly they are
multicellular
* Made of thread like filaments
call hyphae* Are
heterotrophs
* Do not have
flagella or cilia
Animals*
Multicellular
organisms* Highly Mobile
* Heterotrop
hic
Plants*
Multicellular*
Autotrophic
* Have a cell wall made of cellulose*Large
fluid filled vacuoles
28
Eukaryotes are larger and more complex Have organelles Have chromosomes can be multicellular include animal and plant cells
Animal cells Intro
29
Organelles are membrane-bound cell parts
Mini “organs” that have unique structures and functions
Located in cytoplasm
30
Cell membrane delicate lipid and
protein skin/membrane around cytoplasm
found in all cells
Cell Structures
31
Nucleus a membrane-bound sac
evolved to store the cell’s chromosomes (DNA)
has pores: holes
32
Nucleolus inside nucleus location of ribosome
factory RNA
33
mitochondrion Releases the cell’s
energy the more energy the
cell needs, the more mitochondria it has
35
Ribosomes build proteins from
amino acids in cytoplasm
may be free-floating, or may be attached to ER made of RNA
36
Endoplasmic reticulum may be smooth:
builds lipids and carbohydrates
may be rough: stores & transports proteins made by attached ribosomes
37
38
Golgi Complex takes in sacs of
raw material from ER
sends out sacs containing finished cell products
Golgi Apparatus
39
Lysosomes sacs filled with digestive
enzymes digest worn out cell parts digest food absorbed by cell
41
Centrioles pair of bundled tubes organize cell division
42
Cytoskeleton
made of microtubules
found throughout cytoplasm
gives shape to cell & moves organelles around inside.
43
Cytoskeleton
cytoplasmic streaming
44
Structures found in plant cells
Cell wall very strong made of cellulose protects cell from
rupturing glued to other cells

Vacuole huge water-filled
sac keeps cell
pressurized stores starch
46
Chloroplasts filled with
chlorophyll turn solar energy
into food energy

Advantages of each kind of cell architecture
Prokaryotes Eukaryotessimple and easy to grow can specialize
fast reproduction multicellularity
all the same can build large bodies
51
Examples of specialized euk. cells liver cell:
specialized to detoxify blood and store glucose as glycogen.
52
sperm cell: specialized to deliver DNA to egg cell
53
Mesophyll cell specialized to
capture as much light as possible
inside a leaf
54
How do animal cells move?
Some can crawl with pseudopods
Some can swim with a flagellum
Some can swim very fast with cilia
55
Pseudopods
means “fake feet” extensions of cell
membrane example: amoeba
Amoboid movement
56
Flagellum/flagella large whiplike tail pushes or pulls cell
through water can be single, or a
pair
Cilia & Flagella
Cilia fine, hairlike
extensions attached to cell
membrane beat in unison

Organic and Inorganic compounds Compounds are
organized into 2 types: Organic compounds –
These are complex chemical compounds which contain Carbon and Hydrogen.
Inorganic compounds- These are all non-organic compounds. e.g. water, oxygen, nitrogen.
60
Inorganic componentsWater- most organisms are 70-90% water
Surface tension Heat capacity Cohesiveness
Oxygen and carbon dioxide Oxygen is needed for cells to release energy from food
molecules Carbon is the key molecule in organic molecules.
Nitrogen Nitrogen is needed to make proteins.
Minerals Are needed for the structural part of cells, the body and in
enzymes and vitamins
61
Organic moleculesCarbohydrates
Important source of energy Made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
Lipids fats and oils important for energy stores and some
structures. Proteins
Vital for all sorts of functions!Nucleic Acid
Genetic material for all organismsVitamins
Required for normal functioning.
