Life Science
What does “Being Alive” mean?
Made of cells
Respond to stimuli
Respire (use energy)
Adapt
Reproduce
Excrete wastes
Secrete
Have a life span
Life Needs:
Energy (solar or
chemical)
Water
Tolerable Temperatures
Light
Agreeable Atmosphere
Structure of the Cell
Single Cell vs. Multicellular
Cell Organization
Atom
Molecule
Organelle
Cell
Tissue
Organ

Organism
Major Systems

Respiratory
Male
Reproductive
Digestive
Female
Major Systems
Nervous
Skeletal
Circulatory
Muscular
Chemistry of the Cell
Cells are made of atoms and molecules
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Iron, Sodium, Potassium, etc.
Organic
Organic compounds contain carbon
Inorganic
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, etc.
Inorganic compounds are also necessary for life
Water, salt, vitamins, etc.
Cell Transport…note error on class notes
Passive Transport
Exocytosis
Active Transport
Endocytosis
Cellular Respiration
organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and
release water and carbon dioxide as waste
C6H12O6 + 6O2 Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O
Photosynthesis
plants use solar energy
to make glucose from
water and carbon dioxide
and release oxygen as waste
Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Mitosis
Cell division for body
cells - diploid
Meiosis
Cell division to produce
sex cells - haploid
DNA
Nitrogen bases
Adenine
Thymine
Guanine
Cytosine
Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction
Heredity – passing of traits from parents
of offspring
Alleles – different forms a gene has for a trait
A – dominant allele for a trait (upper case)
a – recessive allele for a trait (lower case)
Heterozygous – different alleles
Homozygous – identical alleles
Punnett Squares
Tools for predicting genetic
crosses
Genotype – genetic makeup
What alleles are present
Phenotype – physical makeup
What is shown

Evolution – changes in kinds of animals
and plants over time
Evidence
Fossil record
Continental drift
Why do kangaroos live
in Australia?
From Eohippus to
Equus
Survival of the Fittest
Ability to reproduce
successfully
Charles Darwin
The fittest?

Adaptation for Survival
Changes in

behavior
Cycles of Nature
Carbon
Nitrogen

Water
Environmental Issues
Decrease in resources
leads to decrease in
natural populations
Human activities
Pollution

Viruses are not alive
until they invade a cell
