The Science of Life
• Biology unifies much of natural science
• Life defies simple definition
– Living systems are the most complex chemical systems on Earth
– Life is constrained by the properties of chemistry and physics
• Science is becoming more interdisciplinary
– Combining multiple fields

• Living systems show hierarchical
organization
– Cellular level
• Atoms, molecules, organelles, cells
• Cell is the basic unit of life
– Organismal level
• Tissues, organs, organ systems

– Populational level
• Population, community
– Ecosystem level
– Biosphere
• Earth is an ecosystem we call the biosphere
• Each level has emergent properties
– Result from interaction of components
– Cannot be deduced by looking at parts
themselves
– “Life” is an emergent property

The Nature of Science
• Science aims to understand the natural
world through observation and reasoning
• Science begins with observations,
therefore, much of science is purely
descriptive
– Classification of all life on Earth
– Human genome sequencing

• Science uses both deductive and inductive
reasoning
• Deductive reasoning uses general
principles to make specific predictions
• Inductive reasoning uses specific
observations to develop general
conclusions

• Scientists use a systematic approach to gain understanding of the natural world
– Observation
– Hypothesis formation
– Prediction
– Experimentation
– Conclusion

• A hypothesis is a possible explanation for
an observation
• A hypothesis
– Must be tested to determine its validity
– Is often tested in many different ways
– Allows for predictions to be made
• Iterative
– Hypotheses can be changed and refined with
new data
![Page 14: Chapter 1mmsalemscienceteacher.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/3/6/... · 3 •7 characteristics of all living organisms 1. Cellular organization 2. Ordered complexity 3. Sensitivity 4.

14
• Experiment
– Tests the hypothesis
– Must be carefully designed to test only one
variable at a time
– Consists of a test experiment and a control
experiment
![Page 15: Chapter 1mmsalemscienceteacher.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/3/6/... · 3 •7 characteristics of all living organisms 1. Cellular organization 2. Ordered complexity 3. Sensitivity 4.

15
• Predictions
– Hypotheses should make predictions
– Predictions provide a way to test the validity of
hypotheses
– Hypothesis must be rejected if the experiment
produces results inconsistent with the
predictions
– The more experimentally supported
predictions a hypothesis makes, the more
valid the hypothesis

SCIENTIFIC THINKING
Test: Use swan-necked flasks to prevent entry of microorganisms. To
ensure that broth can still support life, break swan-neck after sterilization.
Question:
Broken
neck
of flask
Flask is sterilized
by boiling the broth.
Unbroken flask
remains sterile.
Broken flask becomes
contaminated after
exposure to germ-laden air.
Conclusion: Growth in broth is of preexisting microorganisms.
What is the source of contamination that occurs in a flask of nutrient
broth left exposed to the air?
Germ Hypothesis: Preexisting microorganisms present in the air contaminate
nutrient broth.
Prediction: Sterilized broth will remain sterile if microorganisms are prevented
from entering flask.
Spontaneous Generation Hypothesis: Living organisms will spontaneously
generate from nonliving organic molecules in broth.
Prediction: Organisms will spontaneously generate from organic molecules
in broth after sterilization.
Result: No growth occurs in sterile swan-necked flasks. When the neck is
broken off, and the broth is exposed to air, growth occurs.

• Philosophical approaches to science
– Reductionism
• To break a complex process down to its simpler
parts
– Systems biology
• Focus on emergent properties that can’t be
understood by looking at simpler parts

• Models in science
– Way to organize thought
– Parts provided by reductionist approach
– Model shows how they fit together
– Suggest experiments to test the model

• Scientific theory
– Is a body of interconnected concepts
– Is supported by much experimental evidence
and scientific reasoning
– Expresses ideas of which we are most certain
• Compare to general meaning of theory
– Implies a lack of knowledge or a guess

Darwin and Evolution
• Example of how a scientist develops a
hypothesis and a theory gains acceptance
• Charles Darwin served as naturalist on
mapping expedition around coastal South
America
• 30 years of observation and study before
publishing On the Origin of Species by
Means of Natural Selection

• Darwin was not the first to propose
evolution
– Living things have changed over time
• Darwin’s contribution was a mechanism
– Natural selection

• On the Beagle, Darwin saw that
characteristics of similar species varied
from place to place
• Galápagos Finches
– 14 related species differ only slightly
– “Descent with modification” or evolution

• Darwin studied Thomas Malthus’s An
Essay on the Principle of Population
– Populations of plants and animals increase
geometrically
– Humans can only increase their food supply
arithmetically
– Populations of species remain constant
because death limits population numbers

• Darwin saw that
although every
organism has
the potential to
produce more
offspring, only a
limited number
do survive and
reproduce
themselves

• Evidence supporting Darwin’s theory has
only grown
– Fossil record
• Transitional forms have been found at predicted
positions in time
– Earth’s age
• Physicists of Darwin’s time were wrong
• Earth is very old – 4.5 billion years old

– Mechanism for heredity
• Mendel’s laws of inheritance were unknown to
Darwin
– Comparative anatomy
• Vertebrate forelimbs all share the same basic array
of bones
• Homologous – same evolutionary origin but now
differ in structure and function
• Analogous – structures of different origin used for
the same purpose (butterfly and bird wings)

• Molecular basis of inheritance
– Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
– Sequence of 4 nucleotides encode cell’s
information
– Gene – discrete unit of information
– Genome – entire set of DNA instructions
– Continuity of life depends on faithful copying
of DNA into daughter cells

• Structure and function
– Study structure to learn function
– Know a function – look for that structure in
other organisms
– Example
• Receptor on human cell for insulin known
• Find similar molecule in a worm
• Might conclude this molecule functions the same in
the worm

• Diversity of life arises by evolution
– Underlying unity of biochemistry and genetics
argues for life from the same origin event
– Diversity due to evolutionary change over
time
– 3 domains
• Bacteria – single-celled prokaryote
• Archaea – single-celled prokaryote
• Eukarya – single-celled or multicellular eukaryote

• Evolutionary conservation
– All organisms today descended from a simple
creature 3.5 BYA
– Some characteristics preserved – use of DNA
– Conservation reflects that they have a
fundamental role

• Cells are information-processing systems
– Information in DNA used to direct synthesis of
cellular components
• Control of gene expression leads to different cells/
tissue types
– Cells process environmental information
• Glucose levels, presence of hormones
– Cells in multicellular organisms must
coordinate with each other

• Nonequilibrium state
– Living systems are open systems
– Constant supply of energy needed
– Self-organizing properties at different levels
– Emergent properties from collections of
molecules, cells, and individuals
