1. The building blocks atoms- that make up all living things are the same ones that make up all nonliving things 2. Atoms join as molecules. The unique properties of life emerge as certain kinds of molecules become organized into cells. 3. Higher level of organization include multicelled organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem and the biosphere.

sunlight energy A Producers harvest energy from the environment. Some of that energy flows from producers to consumers. PRODUCERS plants and other self-feeding organisms
B Nutrients that become incorporated into the cells of producers and consumers are eventually released by decomposition. Some cycle back to producers.

CONSUMERS animals, most fungi, many protists, bacteria

C All energy that enters the world of life eventually flows out of it, mainly as heat.

How do living things differ from one another?

2.

Organism differ in their details; they show tremendous variation in traits Classification system by which species are grouped according to traits help us organize information about species. One common system sorts all species into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.

What is Scientific Inquiry? How Science Works?

Fig. 1-6, p. 11

How Science Works?

1. Observe some aspect of nature. 2. Frame a question about your observation. 3. Read what others have discovered concerning the subject, then propose hypothesis 4. Make Prediction 5. Devise ways to test your prediction by conducting the experiments or gathering information. 6. Assess the results of the tests or observations-the data. 7. Report all the steps of your work, along with any conclusions you drew, to the scientific community

A Hypothesis Olestra causes intestinal cramps. B Prediction People who eat potato chips made with Olestra will be more likely to get intestinal cramps than those who eat potato chips made without Olestra. C Experiment Control Group Experimental Group Eats regular Eats Olestra potato chips potato chips D Results 93 of 529 people 89 of 563 people get cramps later get cramps later (17.6%) (15.8%) E Conclusion Percentages are about equal. People who eat potato chips made with Olestra are just as likely to get intestinal cramps as those who eat potato chips made without Olestra. These results do not support the hypothesis.

Hypothesis Olestra causes intestinal cramps. Prediction People who eat potato chips made with Olestra will be more likely to get intestinal cramps than those who eat potato chips made without Olestra

Experiment

Control Group Eats regular potato chips

Experimental Group Eats Olestra potato chips

Results

93 of 529 people get cramps later (17.6%)

89 of 563 people get cramps later (15.8%)

Conclusion Percentages are about equal. People who eat potato chips made with Olestra are just as likely to get intestinal cramps as those who eat potato chips made without Olestra. These results do not support the hypothesis.
