INTRODUCTION: THE NATURE OF SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY. Chapter 5: The Living Environment. Chapter 5: THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT People have long been curious about living things—how many different species there are, what they are like, where they live, how they relate to each other, and how they behave.
Scientists seek to answer these questions and many more about the organisms that inhabit the earth. In particular, they try to develop the concepts, principles, and theories that enable people to understand the living environment better. Living organisms are made of the same components as all other matter, involve the same kind of transformations of energy, and move using the same basic kinds of forces. Thus, all of the physical principles discussed in Chapter 4, The Physical Setting, apply to life as well as to stars, raindrops, and television sets. This chapter offers recommendations on basic knowledge about how living things function and how they interact with one another and their environment. The preservation of a diversity of species is important to human beings. Sunny Meadows. Gould League - Food Webs - build your own. Bacterial Cell. Science Lesson Plans and Resources.
