         <title>Science as process: The word science is derived from a Latin verb meaning &quot;to know.&quot; That is, biology is an ongoing process of learning, not just a list of facts.Evolution: Evolution is simply how living things evolve, or change, over time. It explains inherited similarities in organisms and causes of variation.Energy transfer: All organisms perform work as they move, grow, and reproduce and need an energy source to do so. Organisms constantly transfer energy to their surroundings, and vice versa. This transfer involves the conversion of one form of energy into another.Continuity and change: Organisms reproduce to ensure their species continues. But combining genes also results in variations in offspring.Relationship of structure to function: Every type of organism has developed parts to adapt to its habitat. Birds have different kinds of beaks, and plants have different kinds of seeds, for example.Regulation: Also called homeostasis. Cells, animals, and ecosystems work to maintain stable internal conditions, such as body temperature, even when external conditions change.Interdependence in nature: The flow of energy and cycling of matter are the two processes that determine the relationships between organisms and their surroundings.Science, technology, and society: Scientific inquiry should consider the ethical and social impact of the research. In other words, scientists must make decisions based on what society should do over what it can do.Newer Research MethodsAs scientists learned more about nature and science, they began to challenge established ideas like spontaneous generation.This was the beginning of what is now known as scientific inquiry. Scientists use three key methods to research and analyze data: observation, investigation, and experimentation. Scientific inquiry begins with observation. It is a process in which scientists gather information in an orderly manner. They record their observations, which become data that they categorize. Data is of two types: Numerical data is called quantitative data.Descriptive data, data that cannot be counted, is called qualitative data. An example of quantitative data is, &quot;A plant has 10 leaves.&quot; An example of qualitative data is, &quot;The leaves are healthy.&quot;Based on the data she&#39;s gathered, a scientist may propose a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a question framed by a scientist to explain a set of observations. It&#39;s a prediction that must be testable. So the scientist must conduct experiments or do more investigation.A hypothesis isn&#39;t always proven correct. Experiments or investigation may prove the hypothesis wrong. Then the scientist must reformulate the hypothesis and start over again.Common Metric UnitsLength1 meter = 100 centimeters1000 meters = 1 kilometerMass1 kilogram = 1000 gramsVolume1 liter = 1000 millilitersTemperature0°C = freezing point of water100°C = boiling point of waterBiology, the study of life, is the science on which many kinds of study are based: medicine, nutrition, molecules, ecosystems, and more. Several themes, such as evolution and energy transfer, are consistent throughout Biology&#39;s many disciplines.Research methodologies have undergone a significant change over the years. Observation, investigation, and experimentation remain the backbone of research, but microscopes and computers have greatly enhanced scientific knowledge and study.The data gathered by researchers must be organized and analyzed so that it is useful. Tables and graphs are good ways to represent data.Explore some exciting careers in biology and its interdisciplinary branches. Perhaps you&#39;ll find the career you&#39;re meant for!Everything in our enormous universe is either matter or energy. Matter defines the physical objects; energy drives them to perform work. The study of matter and how it reacts is chemistry. The study of energy is physics.Biology incorporates both. This lesson is about some basic chemistry because when you know that, you will understand biology better.Covalent bonds are generally stronger than ionic bonds. Also, covalent bonds form when neutral atoms share electrons, instead of ions. How atoms share electrons depends on how the electrons in different atomic orbitals are distributed.Most atoms have more than one orbital around their nucleus. As the atomic number of an atom increases, the number of orbitals also increases. The outermost orbital, called the valence shell, is the one that forms the bond. Atoms bind to one another so that the valence shell of each atom has eight electrons. Again, let&#39;s use the element carbon to explain.The carbon atom contains six electrons and has two orbitals: two electrons in the one closer to the nucleus and four in the outer one. So the carbon atom seeks other atoms with four electrons in their valence shells to share so that each atom has eight electrons. Look at the picture to see how carbon and oxygen share electrons to form carbon dioxide.In organisms, compounds rarely exist as pure substances. They typically form mixtures with other compounds. There are three types of mixtures:solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Mixtures can be of any two or more chemical compounds, but in biology, we mostly study mixtures of water with other compounds. (Remember, all living things are mostly water.)When water mixes with a compound, it forms an aqueous solution.Aqueous solutions differ in density of concentration measured by molarity. Molarity is the number of moles of a chemical compound dissolved per liter of water. In other words, the higher the molarity, the higher the concentration.You can see the difference between solutions and suspensions in a simple experiment. Add a spoonful of salt to a glass of water. Stir until you don&#39;t see the salt anymore. In another glass of water add some soil.No matter how long you stir this mixture, the soil won&#39;t dissolve.So that&#39;s one difference: a solution is a mixture in which a solute (in this case, salt) dissolves in a solvent (in this case, water). Also, the solution is clear. Substances like salt and sugar homogenize completely in water so that you can&#39;t see any solid particles.The water to which you added soil is cloudy. It&#39;s called a suspension because the soil particles are suspended in the water. They can sediment, or settle to the bottom, if left undisturbed. Also, in a suspension, it&#39;s possible to separate the particles from the liquid because they&#39;re big.It&#39;s important to know a little chemistry in order to understand biological systems because all living things are composed of chemical compounds of some sort. An atom is the basic unit of matter, consisting of three main parts: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral.Atoms of the same type combine to form an element. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which give it its atomic number. Elements arranged in order of their atomic numbers from smallest to largest form the periodic table.Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have many uses in medicine, food preservation, and other professions.Atoms with fewer or more electrons than protons are called ions.Positive ions can combine with negative ones to form ionic bonds, which are weak. Conversely, covalent bonds are strong. They are formed when neutral atoms share electrons.</title>
