Chapter Introduction What are living things, and how can they be classified?
Do you agree or disagree? 1. All living things move. 2. The Sun provides energy for almost all organisms on Earth. 3. A dichotomous key can be used to identify an unknown organism.
Do you agree or disagree? 4. Physical similarities are the only traits used to classify organisms. 5. Most cells are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. 6. Microscopes are used only by scientists.
Characteristics of Life • What characteristics do all living things share?
Characteristics of Life �All living things are organized, grow and develop, reproduce, respond, maintain certain internal conditions, and use energy. �Organisms –Things that have all the characteristics of life are called
Organization �Cell - every organism’s smallest unit of life. �Unicellular - organisms are organisms made of only one cell. �Living things that are made of two or more cells are called multicellular organisms.
Growth and Development �Changes that occur in an organism during its lifetime are called development. �In multicellular organisms, development happens as cells become specialized into different cell types. �Some organisms have dramatic developmental changes, such as a tadpole becoming a frog.
Reproduction �Reproduction is the process by which one organism makes one or more new organisms. �Some organisms can reproduce by dividing and becoming two new organisms. (Asexual) �Some organisms must have a mate to reproduce, but others can reproduce without a mate. (Sexual)
Responses to Stimuli �All living things respond to changes in the environment called stimuli. There are two types of stimuli: • Internal stimuli are changes within an organism. • External stimuli are changes in an organism’s environment.
Homeostasis An organism’s ability to maintain steady internal conditions when outside conditions change homeostasis from Greek homoios, means “like, similar”; and stasis, means “standing still”
Homeostasis (cont. ) Maintaining homeostasis ensures that cells and the organism can function normally and remain healthy.
Homeostasis (cont. ) Contractile vacuoles are cellular structures that help maintain homeostasis by pumping excess water from the cell.
Energy �Cells continuously use energy to transport substances, make new cells, and perform chemical reactions. �For most organisms, energy for life comes from the Sun. The Sun’s energy can be passed from one organism to another.
Lesson 1
• An organism has all the characteristics of life.
• a • to Unicellular organisms have specialized structures, much like house has rooms for different activities. Homeostasis enables living things maintain a steady internal environment.
Review Questions � What term refers to things that have all the characteristics of life? � What are the two types of reproduction and give an example of an organism that undergoes this type of reproduction. � Homeostasis refers to an organism’s ability to maintain what kind of conditions?

Classifying Organisms • What methods are used to classify living things into groups? • Why does every species have a scientific name?
Why classify? ? �It’s a big confusing mess out there �Someone has to sort it all out…can you?
How long would it take you to find a good outfit?
How long would it take you to find a good outfit?
Early classification �Aristotle places all organisms into two groups �Plants and Animals
Determining Domains �Systematics (current classification system) uses the following to classify • • • cell type how food and energy are obtained structure and function of features common ancestry molecular analysis (DNA)
Organisms are classified into three domains 1. Bacteria- are bacteria 2. Archaea- old bacteria 3. Eukarya- everything else (like you)
Classifying Living Things �Carolus Linnaeus classified organisms into two main groups, called kingdoms, based on similar structures.
Scientific Names (cont. ) �Binomial nomenclature (2 name- name) was developed by Linneus �Each specie has its own scientific name that is used worldwide!
Scientific Names �Binomial nomenclature is a system for naming organisms with two-word scientific name: • Species - is a group of organisms that have similar traits and are able to produce fertile offspring. • Genus - is a group of similar species.
MODERN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM: �DOMAIN �KINGDOM �PHYLLUM �CLASS �ORDER �FAMILY �GENUS �SPECIES
HOW TO REMEMBER THAT: �Da KING PHILIP CAME OVER FOR GOOD SOUP
Some common Species (In Binomial) Bombini bombus Carcharodon carcharias
Canis lupus Canis fimiliaris Common ancestor? Evolutionary relationship seen in name? ?
Review �Why do we classify? �What is the two name system of classification called? Who created it? �What is the correct way to write the following using binomial nomenclature ( acer saccharum) --- maple tree
Lets try it ourselves! �We can pick a random animal and go to (wikipedia-ohh no!!!) �Upon taking its genus and species name we will have its scientific or binomial name
Intro to using a Dichotomous Key SWBAT �Identify the functions of a dichotomous key �Explain how a dichotomous key is used �Use a key to identify several “unknown” organisms
Classification Tools (cont. ) A dichotomous Key is a series of descriptions arranged in pairs that lead the user to the identification of an unknown organism.
You have just discovered the leaf unknown organism! Q: What is the easiest way to find out what tree this leaf came from? A: You could always ask an expert “Botanist” or you could use a dichotomous key
Dichotomous- two choices �A two choice key �Organisms are identified based on observable features �Follow the steps on the key and you will accurately identify your organism

Exploring Life • How did microscopes change our ideas about living things? • What are the types of microscopes, and how do they compare?
Some terms to know… �Magnification – how big you can make a small object (ex- zooming in) �Resolution- (ex- HDTV) how clear does the image look
The Development of Microscopes �The invention of microscopes enabled people to see details of living things that could not be seen with the unaided eye.
Lets make a simple microscope �Get a piece of glass and add a drop of water (You just got yourself a microscope!) �Draw what you see before using your scope and after using it…
Microscope Inventor � Antony van Leeuwenhoek (16321723) • Leeuwenhoek is known to have made over 500 "microscopes, " of which fewer than ten have survived to the present day.
The Development of Microscopes (cont. ) In the early 1700 s Robert Hooke used a microscope to observe and name cells for the first time.
Types of Microscopes JGI/Getty Images A light microscope uses light and lenses to enlarge images up to 1, 500 times their original size. Only has one Ocular Lens
Compound Microscope �Compound microscopes use two lenses to magnify a specimen, whereas light microscopes use only one lens.
Types of Microscopes (cont. ) • An electron microscope can magnify an image up to 100, 000 times or more. • It literally shoots electrons (no light) at an object to give it a very high resolution and magnification
Types of Microscopes (cont. ) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to view a three-dimensional image of an object.
Ok lets review �Who invented the microscope? Who first saw cells? �There are three main microscopes • Compound – light and two lenses • Light- light and one lense • Electron- electrons and no lense • (Who has the highest magnification? )
E. COLI BACTERIA HEAD OF A SMALL BLACK ANT POLLEN
Using Microscopes can assist doctors by enabling them to view a surgical area in greater detail. microscope from Latin microscopium, means “an instrument for viewing what is small”
Using Microscopes (cont. ) Lesson 3 �There are many uses for microscopes in fields in addition to health care: • Forensic scientists use microscopes to study evidence from crime scenes. • People who study fossils use microscopes to examine fossils and other materials from where fossils are found.
Do Now- Cell Theory �Using text page 44 list out the three parts of the “Cell Theory”
Pro vs. Eu? ? ? Prokaryotic – bacterial cells without a nucleus Eukaryotic – cells of everything else, with a nucleus
• Living organisms can be viewed with light microscopes. U. S. National Tick Collection/Getty Images
• A compound microscope is a type of light microscope that has more than one lens. • Living organisms cannot be viewed with a transmission electron microscope. JGI/Getty Images
Anton van Leeuwenhoek’s early version of the microscope could magnify an image to about how many times its original size? A. 2 C. 100, 000 B. 100 D. 270
What type of microscopes use more than one lens to magnify an image up to 1, 500 times its original size? A. transmission electron microscope B. scanning electron microscope C. compound microscope D. electron microscope
What do electron microscopes use to focus a beam of electrons through an object or onto an object’s surface? A. a magnetic field B. light C. lenses D. energy
The BIG Idea All living things have certain characteristics in common and can be classified using several methods. The invention of the microscope has enabled us to explore life further, which has led to changes in classification.
Lesson 1: Characteristics of Life Key Concepts 1 An organism is classified as a living thing because it has all the characteristics of life. � All living things are organized, grow and develop, reproduce, respond to stimuli, maintain homeostasis, and use energy. �
Lesson 2: Classifying Organisms Key Concepts 2 Living things are classified into different groups based on physical or molecular similarities. � Some species are known by many different common names. To avoid confusion, every species has a scientific name based on a system called binomial nomenclature. �
Lesson 3: Exploring Life Key Concepts 3 The invention of microscopes allowed scientists to view cells, which enabled them to further explore and classify life. � A light microscope uses light and has one or more lenses to enlarge an image up to about 1, 500 times its original size. An electron microscope uses a magnetic field to direct beams of electrons, and it enlarges an image 100, 000 times or more. JGI/Getty Images �
