RAVEN BIOLOGY 10e

CHAPTER 1: THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY

WHERE DOES IT ALL FIT IN?

Chapter 1 is a diverse keystone chapter that outlines the scope of information being covered in the rest of the book. Reinforce to students that the concepts of evolution, hierarchy, living properties, and scientific method are essential for understanding the other chapter topics covered throughout the semester. It may be fitting to refer to Chapter 1 when discussing the different levels of organismic complexity covered in the following chapters. It is also important to stress that the information discussed in each chapter was derived from careful scientific inquiry using the principles of scientific method covered in Chapter 1.

SYNOPSIS

Biology is the science of life, the study of ourselves and everything that is alive around us. Living things have a specific organization presented here from smallest (atoms) to largest (the biosphere). Living organisms have cellular organization; are ordered; respond to stimuli; grow, develop, and reproduce; take in energy to perform many kinds of work; and they have regulatory mechanisms that coordinate functions and maintain constant internal conditions. A sound knowledge of biology is necessary to make informed decisions regarding our individual and collective futures on this planet, and indeed, on the future of the earth itself.

Darwin’s voyage around South America is one of the best examples of the process of scientific discovery. It explains how inductive reasoning leads to the formulation of hypotheses that are then tested by observation and experimentation. With continued collection of supporting data, some hypotheses prove strong enough to warrant their acceptance as theory.

Darwin based his concept of evolution upon years of his own observations as well as those of his contemporaries. The writings of others, particularly Lyell and Malthus, strongly influenced him. Publication of On the Origin of Species was greatly delayed, in part because of its revolutionary nature. A similar essay by Wallace, sent to Darwin for approval, stimulated Darwin to publicly present and finally publish his ideas. A wealth of information gathered in the past century provides the impetus for scientists to accept evolution as a valid theory.

Four core themes unite biology as a science: (1) living things all exhibit cellular organization,

(2) living things all exhibit a mechanism for heredity (DNA), (3) living things exhibit adaptations to produce unique features as a result of evolution, and (4) living things conserve key features during evolution.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1.1 The Science of Life

1. Compare biology to other natural sciences.

2. Describe the characteristics of living systems.

3. Characterize the hierarchical organization of living systems.

1.2 The Nature of Science

  1. Compare the different types of reasoning used by biologists.
  2. Demonstrate how to formulate a hypothesis.

1.3 An Example of Scientific Inquiry: Darwin and Evolution

  1. Examine Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection as a scientific theory.
  2. Describe the evidence that supports the theory of evolution.

1.4 Unifying Themes in Biology

  1. Discuss the unifying themes in biology.
  2. Contrast living and nonliving systems.

COMMON STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS

There is ample evidence in the educational literature that student misconceptions of information will inhibit the learning of concepts related to the misinformation. The following concepts covered in Chapter 1 are commonly the subject of student misconceptions. This information on “bioliteracy” was collected from faculty and the science education literature.

  • Life is too complex to be explained with reasoning by reductionism.
  • All organisms must have every characteristic of life.
  • Acquired characteristics can be inherited.
  • Biologists have do not have a feasible explanation for the emergent properties of life.
  • All organisms have the same level of hierarchical organization.
  • There is no single list of steps called "The Scientific Method”.
  • Hypotheses are merely a guess about how nature works.
  • Theories are merely biased reasoning by scientists.
  • Theories do not change over time.
  • The control set-up is indistinguishable from the experimental set-up in an experiment.
  • Correlations provide the same information as cause-and-effect experimentation.
  • The use of scientific models is not accepted by much of the scientific community.
  • Evolution is a means of disproving the existence of a supernatural being.
  • Biological principles can be described without evolutionary theory as a basis of the explanations.
  • Flaws in Darwin’s reasoning weaken the scientific theory of evolution.
  • Evolution only occurs on the individual organism level.
  • Evolutionary adaptation occurs during the lifetime of an organism
  • The death of an individual organism can change the whole fate of the Earth.
  • Basic research has little value in providing human applications of research findings.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY PRESENTATION ASSISTANCE

It is only logical to present the material in this chapter at the beginning of an introductory biology course, whether it is a majors or nonmajors course, a one-semester or two-semester sequence. Unfortunately, there is so much information that we all feel must be covered in a beginning class, that it often turns into a memorization match rather than a learning experience. Don’t be compelled to cover every topic that is in this book. Nor should you expect your students to know every single fact presented here. Choose material you feel comfortable with; that is most appropriate to your locale and is timely and interesting; but yet fulfills the basic expectations of your department and your school.

This chapter introduces biology as a science and the basics of the scientific method. Many prominent texts use Darwin’s evolutionary theory as an example of how science works. Many other topics could be presented as well, including Mendel’s genetics, Pasteur’s spontaneous generation, Jenner’s smallpox vaccine, or your own research. (Be careful not to get too involved if you do discuss your own research interests. You are an expert on the topic, but many of these students don’t know anything about even basic biology yet.)

It may help to differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning by deriving the words themselves. Humor is also helpful in presenting the scientific method, especially in terms of constructing readily rejected hypotheses. It is extremely important to present the difference between a scientific theory and a belief. One can believe in all sorts of things and still fully support the facts presented by science. Such a presentation will help the student who feels that much of science, such as evolution and the origin of life, contradicts his or her most inner personal beliefs.

HIGHER LEVEL ASSESSMENT

Higher level assessment measures a student’s ability to use terms and concepts learned from the lecture and the textbook. A complete understanding of biology content provides students with the tools to synthesize new hypotheses and knowledge using the facts they have learned. The following table provides examples of assessing a student’s ability to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information from Chapter 1.

Application

  • Have students apply the concept of homeostasis to explain the difference in characteristics between a living and a dead animal.
  • Have students apply the scientific method to design an experiment explaining the claim that a dietary supplement called Compound X improves a person’s alertness.
  • Ask students to hypothesize about the evolutionary mechanism explaining the evolution of a flying dragon’s bones for a fictitious discovery in England.

Analysis

  • Ask to students to describe how Darwin might explain the discovery of ancient human fossils if he came across them on his travels on the Beagle.
  • Ask students to select and evaluate the four most important characteristics of life needed to verify the probability of identifying a living organism on another planet.
  • Have the class analyze whether the characteristics of life equally apply to animals, microorganisms, and plants.

Synthesis

  • Ask students to come up with a list of conditions that would reduce the chance of evolutionary change in a population of organisms over thousands of lands.
  • Ask students to predict how a physician would treat an infection if the core theme of Cell Theory was never discovered.
  • Have students explain how a toxic chemical released into a lake would affect each level of hierarchy associated with the hierarchical organization of the lake.

Evaluation

  • Ask students discuss the value of evolutionary theory in preparing vaccines against a global outbreak of bird flu.
  • Ask students to determine if the discovery of fossils is essential for supporting the principles of modern evolutionary theory.
  • Have students evaluate the basic biological principles they would need to determine the impacts of exterminating all houseflies in their city.

VISUAL RESOURCES

1. Direct the class through a quick exercise of the scientific method by bringing in a simple mechanical object that does not work, like a flashlight. Discuss with the class the process of the scientific method needed to diagnose what is wrong and needed to fix it. (This does presume that you do know what is wrong and have the parts to make it good.)

2. Use a quick demonstration to stress that science is constantly changing. As life has evolved, so has the study of it. Too often science is presented as just so many facts; students don’t appreciate that a few of their instructors were born before the nature of DNA was determined. The technology of science is so overwhelming that the essence of science is often lost.

3. It may be helpful to present controls, independent, and dependent variables using the students’ first laboratory exercise as an example. It is important that they know what a controlled experiment is and why controls are included in their own laboratory experiments. When asked, many students will identify just a single test as a control. In reality an entire experimental set usually has several control runs and only one true experimental test associated with it. A useful activity to reinforce these concepts is to ask the class to design a controlled experiment to test the following observation: A high degree of birth defects was noted in fish living in water contaminated with mercury from a chemical company. Ask the students to come up with an experiment to determine if the mercury pollution is causing the problems in the fish.

4. Slides illustrating the kinds of organisms observed by Darwin during his voyage are quite helpful. Include examples of diversity in selectively bred plants or animals (varieties of corn, dairy and beef cattle, fancy goldfish) as well as examples of the similarity of island life forms versus mainland forms. Images can be found by doing a Google Image search using the keywords “Darwin’s Finches”, “Darwin Pigeons”, “Fancy Goldfish”, “Cattle Breeds”, and “Corn Varieties”. Also, the National Health Museum has a hands-on student activity called The Beaks of the Finches that uses Darwin’s Finches to reinforce the rationale he used for developing the natural selection theory. The activity can be found at http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/AEF/1996/sprague_beaks.html

IN-CLASS CONCEPTUAL DEMONSTRATIONS

A. Modeling Life Properties with Elodea

Introduction

Elodea, and aquatic plant, provides a simple model for investigating some of the properties of living organisms. It has large cells that can be clearly projected on a screen using a 400X microscopic specimen placed on a wet mount slide. This activity demonstrates how almost all organisms show at least one characteristic of life covered in Chapter 1.

Materials

  • 1 stem of fresh elodea (available at pet stores or biological supply companies)
  • 1 forceps
  • 1 projector microscope or microscope attached to a video projector
  • 1 microscope slide
  • 1 small bottle of cold water with a dropper
  • 1 small bottle of 50oC water with a dropper
  • 1 small bottle of room temperature 3% hydrogen peroxide with a dropper
  • 1 small bottle of room temperature pure methanol with a dropper

Procedure

  1. Remove a leaf of the elodea using a forceps
  2. Transfer the leaf to a microscope slide containing three drops of cold water
  3. Place the slide under the microscope and focus the image under high power so the chloroplasts can be clearly seen
  4. Ask the students if they observe any properties of life (some may answer cell structure or organization)
  5. Add the 50oC water to the slide and ask the students to observe what happens. After awhile the chloroplasts should move. Then ask the students if they observe any properties of life (some may answer metabolism, movement, or response to stimuli)
  6. Add one drop of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the slide and ask the students to observe what happens. They should see bubbling due to catalase activity. Then ask the students if they observe any properties of life (some may answer metabolism or response to stimuli)
  7. Add one drop of strong brewed coffee to the slide and ask the students to observe what happens. They should see the bubbling activity stop due to inhibition of catalase activity and they may see the chloroplasts stop moving. Then ask the students if they observe any properties of life (they should explain that the characteristics of life observed earlier where ceased by environmental change)

Inquiry Questions

  1. Ask the students how they would test whether the yeast found in a package of freeze dried yeast found in the grocery store are still alive.
  2. Ask students to come up with tests to determine the relative amount of living properties present in a sprig of celery found in a grocery store.
  3. Ask students to come up with a definition of “dead” based on the fact that extinct animals can be cloned from DNA found in museum specimens.

LABORATORY IDEAS

Laboratory activities are excellent ways of reinforcing complex biological principles. The following inquiries can be used as the basis of student-designed laboratory activities.

  1. Characteristics of Life:
    1. Have students design a long-term experiment to distinguish between the characteristics of fresh and cooked potato wedges containing at least one “eye” per section.
    2. Provide students with the following materials to carry out the experiment.

i. Ruler

ii. A small pot with soil

iii. Access to a light source

iv. Hydrogen peroxide in a dropper bottle to indicate the presence of catalase metabolism

v. Potassium iodide solution in a dropper bottle to indicate the presence of starch

vi. pH paper to determine the pH of the plant tissues

  1. Scientific Method:
    1. Have students design an experiment to test the cause-and-effect relationship between physical activity and heart rate.
    2. Provide students with the following materials to carry out the experiment.

i. Stop watches to monitor pulse (heart rate)

ii. A location for students to conduct some type of physical activity such as jogging or stair climbing.

iii. Graph paper or access to software for graphing the relationship between heart rate and physical activity for the whole class.

    1. Then ask the students to consider other variables that could affect the results. Provide them with the following materials to conduct this part of the experiment.

i. Body weight scale

ii. Meter stick

iii. Tape measure

  1. Natural Selection: (Precaution – this lab involves the tasting of substances in class)
    1. Have students hypothesize about the natural selection of human taste by researching their findings from a PTC taste paper experiment.
    2. Provide students with the following materials

i. PTC paper (phenylthiocarbamide)

ii. Clean fresh cabbage

iii. Strong coffee

iv. Food grade honey

v. Clean disposable spoons for tasting honey and coffee

vi. Access to the Internet

    1. Ask students to determine the students who can and cannot determine the taste of phenylthiocarbamide in the PTC paper.
    2. Then ask them to see if the ability to taste or not taste phenylthiocarbamide is related to a person’s like or dislike of the taste of cabbage, coffee, or honey.
    3. Have the students research the web to find any evidence of the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and the preference of certain types of foods.
    4. Follow step “e” by having the students hypothesize about the natural selection of phenylthiocarbamide tasting in certain populations of people.

LEARNING THROUGH SERVICE

Service learning is a strategy of teaching, learning and reflective assessment that merges the academic curriculum with meaningful community service. As a teaching methodology, it falls under the category of experiential education. It is a way students can carry out volunteer projects in the community for public agencies, nonprofit agencies, civic groups, charitable organizations, and governmental organizations. It encourages critical thinking and reinforces many of the concepts learned in a course.

Students who have successfully mastered the content of Chapter 1 can apply their knowledge for service learning activities in the following ways:

  1. Have students give presentations about the Hierarchy of Life at an area nature center.
  2. Have students visit a local elementary school to give a presentation on the properties of life.
  3. Have students judge science fairs that focus on projects that emphasize use of the scientific method.
  4. Have students prepare a poster or display depicting the influence of Darwin on modern scientific thought for an area library or local children’s museum.
