A Closer Look at Ecosystems
• Each organism
– Interacts with its environment
• Both organism and environment
– Are affected by the interactions between them
![Page 11: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Ecosystem Dynamics
• The dynamics of any ecosystem include two major processes
– Cycling of nutrients, in which materials acquired by plants eventually return to the soil
– The flow of energy from sunlight to producers to consumers
![Page 12: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Two Main Forms of Cells
• All cells share certain characteristics
– They are all enclosed by a membrane
– They all use DNA as genetic information
• There are two main forms of cells
– Eukaryotic
– Prokaryotic
![Page 19: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Systems Biology
• Systems biology
– Seeks to create models of the dynamic behavior of whole biological systems
• With such models
– Scientists will be able to predict how a change in one part of a system will affect the rest of the system

Protists (multiple kingdoms)are unicellular eukaryotes and their relatively simple multicellular relatives.Pictured here is an assortment of protists inhabiting pond water. Scientists are currently debating how to split the protistsinto several kingdoms that better represent evolution and diversity.
Kingdom Plantae consists of multicellula eukaryotes that carry out photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy to food.
Many of the prokaryotes known as archaea live in Earth‘s extreme environments, such as salty lakes and boiling hot springs. Domain Archaea includes multiple kingdoms. The photoshows a colony composed of many cells.
Kindom Fungi is defined in part by thenutritional mode of its members, suchas this mushroom, which absorb nutrientsafter decomposing organic material.
Kindom Animalia consists of multicellular eukaryotes thatingest other organisms.

• The evolutionary view of life
– Came into sharp focus in 1859 when Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection
Figure 1.18
![Page 41: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The Origin of Species articulated two main points
– Descent with modification
– Natural selection
Figure 1.19
![Page 42: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Natural Selection
• Darwin proposed natural selection
– As the mechanism for evolutionary adaptation of populations to their environments
Populationof organisms
Hereditaryvariations
Differences in reproductive success
Evolution of adaptationsin the population
Overproductionand struggle forexistence
Figure 1.20
![Page 43: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Natural selection is the evolutionary process that occurs
– When a population’s heritable variations are exposed to environmental factors that favor the reproductive success of some individuals over others
1 Populations with varied inherited traits
2 Elimination of individuals with certain traits.
3 Reproduction of survivors.
4 Increasing frequency of traits that enhance survival and reproductive success. Figure 1.21

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The products of natural selection
– Are often exquisite adaptations of organisms to the special circumstances of their way of life and their environment
Figure 1.22

The Tree of Life
• Many related organisms
– Have very similar anatomical features, adapted for their specific ways of life
• Such examples of kinship
– Connect life’s “unity in diversity” to Darwin’s concept of “descent with modification”
![Page 46: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Darwin proposed that natural selection
– Could enable an ancestral species to “split” into two or more descendant species, resulting in a “tree of life”

Hypothesis-Based Science
• In science, inquiry that asks specific questions
– Usually involves the proposing and testing of hypothetical explanations, or hypotheses

The Role of Hypotheses in Inquiry
• In science, a hypothesis
– Is a tentative answer to a well-framed question, an explanation on trial
– Makes predictions that can be tested

Deduction: The “If…then” Logic of Hypothesis-Based Science
• In deductive reasoning
– The logic flows from the general to the specific
• If a hypothesis is correct
– Then we can expect a particular outcome

A Closer Look at Hypotheses in Scientific Inquiry
• A scientific hypothesis must have two important qualities
– It must be testable
– It must be falsifiable
![Page 57: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

The Myth of the Scientific Method
• The scientific method
– Is an idealized process of inquiry
• Very few scientific inquiries
– Adhere to the “textbook” scientific method
![Page 58: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

• In mimicry
– A harmless species resembles a harmful species

• In this case study
– Mimicry in king snakes is examined
– The hypothesis predicts that predators in non–coral snake areas will attack king snakes more frequently than will predators that live where coral snakes are present

Field Experiments with Artificial Snakes
• To test this mimicry hypothesis
– Researchers made hundreds of artificial snakes, an experimental group resembling king snakes and a control group of plain brown snakes
(a) Artificial king snake
(b) Brown artificial snake that has been attackedFigure 1.28
![Page 61: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

• After a given period of time
– The researchers collected data that fit a key prediction

Designing Controlled Experiments
• Experiments must be designed to test
– The effect of one variable by testing control groups and experimental groups in a way that cancels the effects of unwanted variables

Limitations of Science
• Science cannot address supernatural phenomena
– Because hypotheses must be testable and falsifiable and experimental results must be repeatable
![Page 64: Chapter 1 exploring life.Campbell](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020716/54891f0cb47959d80c8b587b/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Theories in Science
• A scientific theory
– Is broad in scope
– Generates new hypotheses
– Is supported by a large body of evidence

The Culture of Science
• Science is a social activity
– Characterized by both cooperation and competition
