Chapter One Biology
Part One General Reading Materials
Unit 1 The Fundamental Concepts and Principles of Biology
As you know， biology is the branch of science， it is much more than a collection of facts. Biology studies living things: their structure， function， evolution and interactions with one another and with their nonliving environment. We can identify several fundamental concepts and principles in living organisms.
Living organisms are organized into units called cells. Many small organisms such as bacteria and most protists，consist of one cell each， so we must use a microscope to see them. Large organisms， such as trees and humans， contain up to hundreds of millions of cells. Each cell is a discrete packet of highly ordered living material，biochemistry factory. It takes in nutrients and energy and uses them to maintain itself， to grow， to respond to changes in their environment， and eventually to reproduce， forming two new cells. Hence， cells are the units of structure， function， and reproduction in organisms.
Living organisms metabolize. The essence of metabolism is the result of energy transfers between substances. When organisms take in materials from and give materials back to environment， the materials undergo extensive transformations. In this process， energy is produced to maintain the activity of the living organisms. For example， in a process called photosynthesis， plants absorb solar energy and use it to form compounds such as adenosine triphosphate， or ATP， then the energy of ATP is used to build sugar， starch and other molecules. Hence， energy is transferred from the sun to ATP and then to molecules that the cell uses as building blocks or tucks away as energy reserves.
Living organisms respond actively to their environment. Most animals respond rapidly to environmental changes by making some sort of movement-exploring: fleeing， or even rolling into a ball. Plants respond more slowly but still actively: stems and leaves bend toward light， and roots grow downward. The capacity to respond to environmental stimuli is universal among living things.
Living organisms reproduce themselves. All living things must die sometimes，and if their kind is to continue， they must make copies of themselves before they die. This is reproduction. It is the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual.
Living organisms evolve. Today’s organisms have arisen by evolution， the descent and modification of organism from more ancient forms of life. Evolution proceeds in such a way that living organisms and their components are well suited to their ways of life. Fish， earthworms， and frogs are all so constructed that we can predict roughly how they live merely by examining them. The adaptation of organisms to their environments is one result of evolution.

Unit 2 Test-tube Babies
Robert Edwards Fig. 1 in collaboration with Patrick Steptoe in England， enabled the first birth of a baby by in vitro fertilization IVF， Louise Brown， in 1978. Their research had been considered controversial， and the birth was met with a mixture of surprise， excitement and dismay. As the title of this article by Edwards indicates， infants bom by IVF were almost immediately dubbed “test-tube babies，，，even though only the fertilization of the egg by sperm and very initial growth of the embryo were conducted “in glass”.
