Biology is the science of life

1.1. Biology as a science, its achievements, research methods, connections with other sciences. The role of biology in the life and practical activities of man

Terms and concepts tested in the examination papers for this section: hypothesis, research method, science, scientific fact, object of research, problem, theory, experiment.

Biology The science that studies the properties of living systems. However, it is rather difficult to define what a living system is. That is why scientists have established several criteria by which an organism can be classified as living. Chief among these criteria are metabolism or metabolism, self-reproduction and self-regulation. A separate chapter will be devoted to the discussion of these and other criteria (or) properties of the living.

concept the science defined as "a sphere human activity on obtaining, systematizing objective knowledge about reality. In accordance with this definition, the object of science - biology is a life in all its manifestations and forms, as well as on different levels .

Every science, including biology, uses certain methods research. Some of them are universal for all sciences, such as observation, proposing and testing hypotheses, and building theories. Other scientific methods can only be used by a particular science. For example, geneticists have a genealogical method for studying human genealogies, breeders have a hybridization method, histologists have a tissue culture method, etc.

Biology is closely related to other sciences - chemistry, physics, ecology, geography. Biology itself is divided into many special sciences that study various biological objects: plant and animal biology, plant physiology, morphology, genetics, taxonomy, breeding, mycology, helminthology and many other sciences.

Method- this is the path of research that a scientist goes through, solving any scientific problem, problem.

The main methods of science include the following:

Modeling- a method in which a certain image of an object is created, a model with the help of which scientists obtain the necessary information about the object. So, for example, when establishing the structure of the DNA molecule, James Watson and Francis Crick created a model from plastic elements - a DNA double helix that corresponds to the data of X-ray and biochemical studies. This model fully met the requirements for DNA. ( See section Nucleic acids.)

Observation- the method by which the researcher collects information about the object. You can observe visually, for example, the behavior of animals. It is possible to observe with the help of devices the changes occurring in living objects: for example, when taking a cardiogram during the day, when measuring the weight of a calf during a month. You can observe seasonal changes in nature, the molting of animals, etc. The conclusions drawn by the observer are verified either by repeated observations or experimentally.

Experiment (Experience)- a method by which the results of observations, put forward assumptions are checked - hypotheses . Examples of experiments are crossing animals or plants in order to obtain a new variety or breed, testing a new drug, identifying the role of any cell organelle, etc. An experiment is always the acquisition of new knowledge with the help of a set experience.

Problem- a question, a problem that needs to be solved. Problem solving leads to new knowledge. scientific problem always hides some contradiction between the known and the unknown. Solving the problem requires the scientist to collect facts, analyze them, and systematize them. An example of a problem is, for example, the following: “How does the adaptation of organisms to the environment arise?” or “How can I prepare for serious exams in the shortest possible time?”.

It can be quite difficult to formulate a problem, but whenever there is a difficulty, a contradiction, a problem appears.

Hypothesis- an assumption, a preliminary solution to the problem. Putting forward hypotheses, the researcher is looking for relationships between facts, phenomena, processes. That is why the hypothesis most often takes the form of an assumption: "if ... then." For example, “If plants emit oxygen in the light, then we can detect it with the help of a smoldering torch, because. oxygen must support combustion. The hypothesis is tested experimentally. (See Hypotheses for the Origin of Life on Earth.)

Theory is a generalization of the main ideas in any scientific field of knowledge. For example, the theory of evolution summarizes all the reliable scientific data obtained by researchers over many decades. Over time, theories are supplemented by new data, develop. Some theories may be refuted by new facts. Faithful scientific theories confirmed by practice. So, for example, the genetic theory of G. Mendel and the chromosome theory of T. Morgan were confirmed by many experimental studies in different countries peace. The modern evolutionary theory, although it has found many scientifically proven confirmations, still meets opponents, because. not all of its provisions can be present stage development of science to confirm the facts.

Private scientific methods in biology are:

genealogical method - used in the compilation of pedigrees of people, identifying the nature of inheritance of certain traits.

historical method - establishing relationships between facts, processes, phenomena that have occurred over a historically long time (several billion years). The evolutionary doctrine has developed largely due to this method.

paleontological method - a method that allows you to find out the relationship between ancient organisms, the remains of which are in earth's crust, in different geological layers.

centrifugation – separation of mixtures into component parts under the action of centrifugal force. It is used in the separation of cell organelles, light and heavy fractions (components) of organic substances, etc.

3. Buy a pair of elephants and see if they will produce fertile offspring in captivity. But this is a long and expensive path.

Elements of the correct answer

1. Most likely, non-poisonous and slightly poisonous plants look similar to poisonous ones.
2. In this case, the animals eat all the plants evenly, and some of the animals die, the number of eaters is reduced, and the plants survive and multiply.
3. Another option is that the animals will develop a conditioned reflex, and they will not eat these plants at all (except for young ones). In this case, all plants are preserved.

Elements of the correct answer

1. Examples related to the intraspecific struggle for existence: not all individuals reach the spawning grounds; not all eggs are fertilized by males; when moving to the spawning ground, the fish "clog" each other; many fry die before reaching maturity.
2. Examples of interspecific struggle for existence: chum salmon - an object of fishing; people fish for caviar; caviar is eaten by other fish as food.
3. A large number of eggs is an adaptation to the survival of the species in the absence of care for offspring.

Answer yourself

C2 questions

1. Find errors in the given text. Specify the numbers of proposals in which they are allowed, explain them.

1. At present, the theory of evolution, created by C. Darwin and J. Lamarck independently of each other, has been developed. 2. All living beings are characterized by variability, which Darwin divided into hereditary and non-hereditary. 3. For evolution, non-hereditary variability matters, because it depends on environmental conditions and allows organisms to change quickly enough. 4. The emerging trait is retained or eliminated by natural selection. 5. At the heart of natural selection is the struggle for existence between the strongest individuals. 6. Thus, according to Darwin, the driving forces of evolution are non-hereditary variability and natural selection.

Elements of the correct answer

2. Natural selection reinforces features that are primarily useful to the species, while artificial selection fixes features that are useful to humans.
3. The material for both forms of selection are mutations that manifest themselves phenotypically.
4. The result of natural selection are organisms adapted to environmental conditions, and the result of artificial selection is
breeds and varieties with traits useful to humans, often not capable of surviving in natural conditions.

Answer yourself

What are the advantages and disadvantages of plant varieties bred by breeders?

Biology

A complete guide to preparing for the exam

The Unified State Examination is a new form of attestation that has become mandatory for high school graduates. Preparation for the exam requires students to develop certain skills in answering the proposed questions and skills in filling out exam forms.

This complete guide to biology provides all the materials you need to prepare well for the exam.

1. The book includes the theoretical knowledge of basic, advanced and high levels of knowledge and skills tested in examination papers.

3. The methodological apparatus of the book (examples of tasks) is focused on testing the knowledge and certain skills of students in applying this knowledge both in familiar and new situations.

4. The most difficult questions, the answers to which cause difficulties for students, are analyzed and discussed in order to help students cope with them.

5. The sequence of presentation of educational material begins with "General Biology", because. the content of all other courses in the examination paper is based on general biological concepts.

At the beginning of each section, KIMs are cited for this section of the course.

Then the theoretical content of the topic is presented. After that, examples of test tasks of all forms (in different proportions) encountered in the examination paper are offered. Particular attention should be paid to the terms and concepts that are in italics. They are the first to be tested in the examination papers.

In a number of cases, the most difficult issues are analyzed and approaches to their solution are proposed. Answers to Part C provide only elements of correct answers that will allow you to clarify information, supplement it, or give other arguments in favor of your answer. In all cases, these answers are sufficient to pass the exam.

The proposed textbook on biology is addressed primarily to schoolchildren who have decided to take the unified state exam in biology, as well as teachers. At the same time, the book will be useful to all schoolchildren of a comprehensive school, because will allow not only to study the subject within the school curriculum, but also to systematically check its assimilation.

Biology is the science of life

1.1. Biology as a science, its achievements, research methods, connections with other sciences. The role of biology in the life and practical activities of man

Terms and concepts tested in the examination papers for this section: hypothesis, research method, science, scientific fact, object of research, problem, theory, experiment.

Biology The science that studies the properties of living systems. However, it is rather difficult to define what a living system is. That is why scientists have established several criteria by which an organism can be classified as living. Chief among these criteria are metabolism or metabolism, self-reproduction and self-regulation. A separate chapter will be devoted to the discussion of these and other criteria (or) properties of the living.

concept the science is defined as "the sphere of human activity to obtain, systematize objective knowledge about reality." In accordance with this definition, the object of science - biology is a life in all its manifestations and forms, as well as on different levels .

Every science, including biology, uses certain methods research. Some of them are universal for all sciences, such as observation, proposing and testing hypotheses, and building theories. Other scientific methods can only be used by a particular science. For example, geneticists have a genealogical method for studying human genealogies, breeders have a hybridization method, histologists have a tissue culture method, etc.

Biology is closely related to other sciences - chemistry, physics, ecology, geography. Biology itself is divided into many special sciences that study various biological objects: plant and animal biology, plant physiology, morphology, genetics, taxonomy, breeding, mycology, helminthology and many other sciences.

Method- this is the path of research that a scientist goes through, solving any scientific problem, problem.

The main methods of science include the following:

Modeling- a method in which a certain image of an object is created, a model with the help of which scientists obtain the necessary information about the object. So, for example, when establishing the structure of the DNA molecule, James Watson and Francis Crick created a model from plastic elements - a DNA double helix that corresponds to the data of X-ray and biochemical studies. This model fully met the requirements for DNA. ( See section Nucleic acids.)
