•
Describe the two components of the cell theory .
•
Briefly explain the theory of natural selection, and explain to whom natural selection
occurs and what the results of that selection m
ust include (e.g., Mu st the variation be
heritable?).
•
Read a phylogenetic tree, and understand th e role of similarities and differences in
constructing phy
logenetic trees.
•
Describe what biologists do⎯that is, how they approach problems and why they do
experim
ents.
Lecture Outline I. What Does It Mean to Say That Something Is Alive?
A.All living organisms share five fundame ntal traits:
1.Organism
s acquire and use energy .
2.Organism
s are made up of memb rane-bound cells.
3.Organism
s have hereditary in formation encoded in genes.
4.Organism
s can reproduce.
5.Populatio
ns of organisms evolve.
II. The Cell Theory
A.Statement of the cell theory: All organisms are made of cells, and all cells come from
preexisting cells.
1.Theories—ex
planations for phenomena or observations that are supported by
evidence.
B.Are all organ
isms made of cells?
1.Cells wer
e first described and identified in cork tissue (Hooke, 1665) and in water and
a variety of living tissues (van Leeuwenhoek). (Fig. 1.1)
2.Scientists have examined thousands of plant and animal samples and have conclu ded
that all organis
ms are comp osed of cells.
3.A cell is an organized co
mpartment bounded by a thin, flexible plasma memb rane and
containing concentrated che
micals in an aqueous solution.
4.Most che
mical reactions im portant to life occur inside cells.
