I. The Biosphere• Nonliving part v.s. Living part?
• The nonliving parts of Earth: the hydrosphere (water), the atmosphere (air), and the lithosphere (rock).
• The living part is the biosphere (3 domains)

II. Links within the Living World• The Chemistry of Organisms
- Like all matter in the universe, organisms are made up of chemicals.
Ex.: Saccharomyces cerevisiae has formula:
C3921H6365O2070N597P40S6
Saccharomyces cerevisiae

- Proteins 50%
- Nucleic acids 15%
- Carbohydrates 15%
- Lipids 10%
• Chemical bonds
Elements of Life

Food chain
• In terms of food, organisms fall into three main categories—producers, consumers, and decomposers.
• Producers: plants and micro-organisms
• Consumer: animals
• Decomposer: Micro-organisms
• No organism is a link in just one food chain.
![Page 25: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Biological control
• Predator–Prey interaction
- Natural
- Selective
- Safe
![Page 26: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cycles of Matter and Energy
• When organisms die, decomposers, such as bacteria and molds, use the chemical matter and energy they contain for food.
• The energy used at each step in a food chain is not recycled.
![Page 27: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cycle of matters
• Carbon Cycle
![Page 28: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cycle of matters
• Nitrogen Cycle
![Page 29: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Energy Pyramid
The energy transferred at each level is considerably less than at the previous level
![Page 30: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Changing population
• Four things determine population size: birth rate, death rate, immigration rate, and emigration rate
• Competition, Commensalism, Predator–Prey Interactions,…

III. EVOLUTION OF LIFE
Charles Darwin
![Page 32: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A Summary of Darwin’s Theory
• All life evolved from one simple kind of organism.
• Each species arose from another species that preceded it in time.
• Evolutionary changes were gradual and of long duration.
• Each species originated in a single geographic location.
• The greater the similarity between two groups of organisms, the closer their relationship
• Extinction of old forms (species, etc.) is a consequence of the production of new forms or of environmental change.
• Once a species or other group has become extinct, it never reappears.
• Evolution continues today in generally the same manner as during preceding geologic eras.
![Page 33: Chapter 1 - Introduction-The Biosphere and the Evolution of Life](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042616/5695cfdf1a28ab9b028feb5c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evolution by natural selection
• Every species has a potential to increase in number by the production of offspring.
• The offspring are genetically variable, so they have variable abilities to use resources.
• The resources needed for survival in each environment are finite.
• Each environment selects offspring that are best able to survive.

ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA
• Nearly 100% of bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus were susceptible to penicillin in 1952. By 1982, less than 10% were susceptible.
