THE CONCEPTS OF BIOLOGY
Gene Theory
The structure of DNA consists of two
polynucleotide strands wrapped
around each other in a double helix.
THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE
Organisms are composed of Matter
Matter is anything
that takes up space
and has mass
Simplified models of
a helium (He) atom
Electron and Energy
• Organization.
• Homeostasis.
• Adaptation.
• Reproduction and heredity.
• Growth and development.
• Energy acquisition and release.
• Detection and response to stimuli.
• Interaction.
Some Properties of Life
Taxonomy
➢ The branch of biology dealing with identifying, describing,
naming and classifying organisms.
➢ The branch of biology that groups organisms according to their
characteristics and history.
➢ Taxon (plural, taxa): a group of organisms.
➢ Example of a taxon is Species.
Classification
➢ A method of scientific taxonomy used to group and categorize
organisms hierarchically.
Need of classification:
▪ it makes the study convenient.
▪ it facilitates identification of organisms.
▪ it reveals relationships among the various groups of organisms.
▪ it reveals evolutionary trends.
Classification Taxonomy
Domain (Domain) Eukarya
Kingdom (Kerajaan) Animalia
Phylum/Division (Filum/Divisi) Chordata
Class (Kelas) Mammalia
Ordo (Bangsa) Primata
Family (Suku) Hominid
Genus (Marga) Homo
Species (Jenis) Homo sapiens
Biosystematics
➢ Biosystematics is the application of genetics, statistics,
bioinformatics and chemistry to the solution of systematics
questions in order to provide explanations about the diversity of
organisms within the frame of the theory of evolution.
Vegetabilia
Two-Kingdom
Classification
Carl Linnaeus (1758)
Animalia
Binomial Nomenclature
Binomial nomenclature is a two-part scientific naming
system.
➢ uses Latin words.
➢ scientific names always written in italics.
➢ two parts are the genus name and species descriptor.
➢ First word is capitalized, second word is lowercased.
Homo sapiens
Protista
Three-Kingdom Classification
Ernst Haeckel (1866)
Plantae
Animalia
History of Taxonomy:
Five-Kingdom System: Robert Whittaker (1969)
➢ Organisms were placed in five-kingdom
system based on cell’s type (Prokaryote and
Eukaryote), cell’s organization (uni- and
multicellular) and type of nutrition
(autotroph and heterotroph; absorb and
ingest).
➢ All Prokaryotes were placed in the Monera
kingdom. Monera
Fungi
Five-Kingdom Classification Protista
Robert Whittaker (1969)
Plantae
Animalia
Five-Kingdom Classification
Robert Whittaker (1969)
History of Taxonomy:
Six-Kingdom System: Carl Woese (1970)
❖Carl Woese proposed two groups of
prokaryotes after researching the 16S rRNA,
called Eubacteria (Bacteria) and
Archaebacteria (Archaea).
Seven-Kingdom Fungi
Classification Chromista
Thomas Cavalier-Smith
(2004) Protozoa
Plantae
Animalia
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
OBSERVATION
Observe some aspect of nature
EXPERIMENT
Test the accuracy of the hypothesis
ANALYSIS
Analyze the test results
CONCLUSION
Make conclusions of the test results
REPORT
Report the results and conclusions
VARIATIONS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
SAMPLES drawn from some aspect of nature
