Biosphere Unit Ch. 3 Biology Definitions 3-1 1. Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment, or surroundings. 2. Biosphere contains the combined portions of the planet in which all of life exists, including land, water, and air, or atmosphere. 3. Species is a group of organisms so similar to one another that they can breed and produce fertile offspring. 4. Populations or groups of individuals that belong to the same species. 5. Communities are assemblages of different populations that live together in a defined area. 6. Ecosystem is a collection of all the organisms that live in a particular place together with their nonliving, or physical environment. 7. Biome is a group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar dominant communities. 3-2 8. Autotroughs Plants, some algae and certain bacteria can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use that energy to produce food. 9. Producers are another name for autotroughs. 10. Photosynthesis is a process that autotrophs utilize using light energy to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches. 11. Chemosynthesis when organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates. 12. Heterotrough (also called consumers) are organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply. 13. Herbivores are a type of heterotroughs that obtain energy by eating plants. Caterpillars and deer are examples. 14. Carnivores are a type of heterotrough that obtains energy by eating other animals. (Snakes, dogs and owls. 15. Omnivores are a type of heterotrough that obtains its energy by eating BOTH plants and animals. Humans, bears and crows are some examples. 16. Detrivores feed on plant and animal remains and other dead matter called detritus. Mites, earthworms, snails and crabs are some examples. 17. Decomposers breaks down organic matter. Bacteria and Fungus are examples. 18. Food Chain the energy stored by producers can be passed through an ecosystem along a good chain in a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten. 19. Food Web when the feeding relationships among the various organisms in an ecosystem form a network of complex interactions, ecologists describe these relationships. 20. Trophic Level each step in a food web or a food chain is a trophic level. Producers make up the first trophic level. Consumers make up the second, third or higher. 21. Trophe greek word meaning food or nourishment. 22. Ecology pyramid is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a good chain or web. 23. Biomass the total amount of living tissues within a given trophic level. 3-3 24. Biogeochemical cycles elements, chemical compounds, and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to another through these cycles. 25. Evaporation process by which water changes from a liquid form to an atmospheric gas. 26. Transpiration water can enter the atmosphere through this process by evaporating from the leaves of plants. 27. Nutrients all the chemical substances that an organism needs to sustain life. The bodies' chemical building blocks. 28. Nitrogen fixation process by which bacteria in the soil that lives on the roots of plants convert nitrogen gas into ammonia. 29. Denitrification process where soil bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas and release nitrogen into the atmosphere once again. 30. Primary Productivity the rate at which organic matter is created by producers. 31. Limiting Nutrient a substance that cycles slowly or is scarce in an ecosystem that relies on it. 32. Algal bloom When an aquatic ecosystem receives a large input of a limiting nutrient ?for example runoff from heavily fertilized fields-the result is often an immediate increase in the amount of algae and other producers.

NATURE retracts a report on transgenic corn A recent (2002) example of a major scientific journal acknowledging an apparent mistake in one of its research reports. Chapter 1 The Science of Biology In this chapter, you will find out about the process of science and how scientists work. You will also explore the nature of life and how scientists study living things The links below lead to additional resources to help you with this chapter. These include Hot Links to Web sites related to the topics in this chapter, the Take It to the Net activities referred to in your textbook, a Self-Test you can use to test your knowledge of this chapter, and Teaching Links that instructors may find useful for their students Hot Links Take it to the Net Chapter Self-Test Teaching Links Section 1-1: What Is Science? The goal of science is to investigate and understand nature, to explain events in nature, and to use those explanations to make useful predictions. Section 1-2: How Scientists Work Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time. All the other variables should be kept unchanged, or controlled. In science, the word theory applies to a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations. Section 1-3: Studying Life Living things share characteristics including cellular organization, reproduction, a universal genetic code, growth and development, use of materials and energy, response to their environment, and maintaining an internal stability. Living organisms can be studied at different levels of organization, from the molecular level to the biosphere. Section 1-4: Tools and Procedures Most scientists use the metric system when collecting data and doing experiments. Light microscopes produce images by focusing visible light rays. Electron microscopes produce images by focusing beams of electrons. We established this web site to support our "Dragonfly" book, first published in 2002. When the book was current, we established web pages to support each of the book's chapters, and included a host of links and other web resources for teachers and students. Because the book was last published in 2008, we will no longer maintain or update the site. However, we will keep its pages on line for the next few years to help support those using older editions of our books.

Special Issue: Material Cultural Evolution Miller, Kenneth R. and Levine, Joseph S.: Miller and Levine Biology. New York Ed. Boston: Prentice Hall, 2010 (ISBN--10: 0-13-369343-0) Evolution: Education and Outreach 4, 544?545 (2011)Cite this article 2793 Accesses 1 Altmetric Metrics Our old set of Miller and Levine dragonfly biology textbooks had all the signs of well-loved books, ear-marked pages, ripped corners, and weakened spines. Eventually, after increasing class enrollment, I needed to find a new textbook. The dragonfly book had gone out of print, and there were no used books to be found. As luck would have it, the 2010 edition of the Miller and Levine Biology program was just hitting the market. After perusing the website () and studying the complimentary copy I had picked up at the Science Teachers Conference in Rochester, NY, I was more than convinced that this would be the perfect upgrade. The material was current, detailed, well illustrated, written in an attention-catching style, and the online resources were very rich in content and variety. The last step, or should I say hurdle, was to get the approval of our Board of Education.A month after submitting a copy of the macaw biology book to our BOE for adoption, the book came back to the meeting with numerous post-it-notes flagging the pages. Further discussion revealed that two BOE members were concerned with the presentation of the evolution unit. There were concerns about using radiometric dating to age fossils, the illustration of whale phylogeny indicating that the ancestors of modern whales walked on all fours, the fact that genes evolve, the very idea that evolution was being presented as fact when it is "only a theory" ... the list goes on. After lengthy discussion and written support from Niles Eldredge, Ken Miller, and Joe Levine, the BOE voted 4?1 to adopt the macaw biology textbook for use in our school.It has been one and a half years since our students have been interacting with the revised Miller and Levine Biology program, and we are reaping the benefits. In our science classroom, the students are taking more responsibility for their own learning. The number of students using technology outside the classroom to study biology has increased. And 100% of our students passed the required state exam in biology.The quality of the biology content is outstanding. It is current and well researched. Their treatment of gene regulation is such an example. Figure 13?18 effectively shows the blocking of gene expression. Along with the clearly articulated text, the concept of RNA interference is no longer accessible to only a few. All students can now better understand cell differentiation.A useful feature of the Miller and Levine Biology program is the framework that is used to design curriculum. Called "Understanding by Design," this framework focuses on "Big Ideas" and "Big Questions" that are carried through the chapters and units. The goal of this framework is to create deep connections to the concepts allowing knowledge to be transferrable. It is flexible and allows multiple avenues for teachers to specialize or differentiate instruction. Using the online resources, rich with interactive study tools, videos, lesson overviews, and assessments, differentiated instruction is only a mouse click away. As a teacher, I can assign each student different activities to complete either in class or on their own time. These assignments may be graded or not, depending on my preference. Each chapter video is creative and interesting as evidenced by the discussion questions it stimulates from students. All teacher resources are available on DVD, so if Internet access is limited or non-existent, the book and provided editable review sheets and labs will lead students through a comprehensive study of each chapter.The ExamView assessment suite that accompanies the textbook has an extensive bank of test questions that are correlated with state and national standards and a management program to allow the teacher to generate and publish exams specific to each class. The analysis of such tests gives teachers immediate feedback on items such as individual student achievement, group achievement, and item remediation. Quality, objective-based tests can be generated quickly and any re-teaching can begin immediately.Ultimately, I chose this textbook because I felt the science was sound and the presentation was student friendly. The online resources were icing on the cake, and very delicious icing at that!Thank you Ken Miller and Joe Levine for putting your time and effort into creating such a high-quality biology program. Personally, I would like to thank Ken Miller, Joe Levine, and Niles Eldredge for helping to defend quality science education in a small rural school in the Adirondacks. Many students will benefit from your efforts. Top reviews Most recent Top reviews These worksheets are tailored to the current textbook: Biology by Miller and Levine (commonly called the Dragonfly book) Most are specifically targeted to chapter sections ? as in, students read the section of the chapter and answer very straightforward questions as they read. I originally designed the reading guides to encourage freshman students to read the chapters. Files have two formats: .html for simple viewing on the web, and doc files, which can be easily edited using Microsoft word.
