La materia viva
- 1. “ La biología (del griego «βιος» bios , vida, y «λογος» logos , estudio) es una de las ciencias naturales que tiene como objeto de estudio a los seres vivos”
- 2. LOS SERES VIVOS Gran uniformidad en: composición química. organización celular: funciones: Nutrición, Relación y Reproducción Excepciones: Virus, priones,etc.
- 3. Características de los seres vivos Los seres vivos tienen una estructura compleja, organizada, que consta en buena parte de moléculas orgánicas. Los seres vivos responden a los estímulos de su ambiente. Los seres vivos mantienen activamente su compleja estructura y su ambiente interno; este proceso se denomina homeostasis. Los seres vivos obtienen y usan materiales y energía de su ambiente y los convierten en diferentes formas. Los seres vivos crecen. Los seres vivos se reproducen, utilizando un patrón molecular llamado ADN. Los seres vivos, en general, poseen la capacidad de evolucionar.

- #6: Life on Earth consists of a hierarchy of structures, with each level of the hierarchy based on the one below it and providing the foundation for the one above it (Fig. 1-2). All of life is built on a chemical foundation based on substances called elements, each of which is a unique type of matter. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element. For example, a diamond is made of the element carbon. The smallest possible 'unit of the diamond is an individual carbon atom; any further division would produce isolated subatomic particles that would no longer be carbon. Atoms may combine in specific ways to form assemblies called molecules; for example, one carbon atom can combine with two oxygen atoms to form a molecule of carbon dioxide. Although many simple molecules form spontaneously, only living things manufacture extremely large and complex molecules. The bodies of living things are composed primarily of complex molecules. The molecules of life are called organic molecules, meaning that they contain a framework of carbon, with at least some hydrogen bound to it. Although the chemical arrangement and interaction of atoms and molecules are the building blocks of life, the quality of life itself emerges on the level of the cell. Just as an atom is the smallest unit of an element, so the cell is the smallest unit of life (Fig. 1-3). The difference between a living cell and a conglomeration of chemicals illustrates some of the emergent properties of life. All cells contain (1) genes, units of heredity that provide the information needed to control the life of the cell; (2) subcellular structures called organelles, miniature chemical factories that use the information in the genes and keep the cell alive; and (3) a plasma membrane, a thin sheet surrounding the cell that both encloses a watery medium (the cytoplasm) that contains the organelles and separates the cell from the outside world. Some life-forms, mostly microscopic, consist of just one cell, but larger life-forms are composed of many cells with specialized functions.
- #7: In multicellular life forms, cells of similar type combine to form tissues, which perform a particular function. For example, nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells, and a variety of supporting cells. Various tissue types combine to form a structural unit called an organ (for example, the brain, which contains nervous tissue, connective tissue, and blood). Several organs that collectively perform a single function are called an organ system; for example, together the brain, spinal cord, sense organs, and nerves form the nervous system. All the organ systems functioning cooperatively make up an individual living thing, the organism.
- #8: Beyond individual organisms are broader levels of organization. A group of very similar, potentially interbreeding organisms constitutes a species. Members of the same species that live in a given area are considered a population. Populations of several species living and interacting in the same area form a community. A community plus its nonliving environment, including land, water, and atmosphere, constitute an ecosystem. Finally, the entire surface region of Earth inhabited by living things (but including the nonliving components) is called the biosphere.
