Man and EnvironmentAsst. Dr. Nantana Gajaseni
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
What is environment?
Q. What is environment?A. It depends!
Q. Depends on what?A. Depends on "Environment of whom?"
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. How about environment of human?
A.Wait and see!
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. Who is "human"?A. Wait until the next section!
Q. Is human a living object?A. ?
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
The human animal
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q 1. What is living object?
Q 2. What are differences between living and non-living objects?
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
A. From biological perspective:
Life = biosystems organized by interactions between biological components interacting with physical environments, and become a unified whole with capacity to maintain homeostasis and self-perpetuation
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Sign of life
1. Highly complex organization = all other characteristics of life emerge from an organisms complex organization
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
2. Self-homeostasis = Self-maintenance of a steady-state internal environment in the variations of external environment.
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
3. Self-perpetuation = Life comes only from life.
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
4. Growth and development = the increment of volume and changes in structure and functions to suit with new form of life
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)

BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
5. Interactions = Life needs energy and matter utilization for maintenance of life
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
6. Adaptation = Life evolve as a result of the interaction between organisms and their environments
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
7. Response = Life adjusts itself to the environment.

From biological perspective, these are biological spectrum
Biotic components

BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Biotic components cannot survive in isolation.They must interact with physical or a biotic environments.

BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Interaction between each biotic level with physical environment through energy, matter, and information produces characteristic functional system.
"Biosystem" or "life"
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Organizational hierarchy in nature can be seen from "universe" down to "subatomic particles".
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)

BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
The natural world is organized, diverse, dynamic, and yet complex.
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. How can life be seen in nature?A. A hierarchy of organization of matter.
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Fig 3-6
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Then, there is hierarchy of biosystems.
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. What is the determinant of life?A. Environment by evolutionary processes.

Q. How did life emerge on the Earth?

BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. Is human a hierarchy of organization of matter?
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Q. What is the difference of interaction between man and environment and interaction between other organisms and environment?
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
A. Organisms adapt themselves to the environments.While Human modify environments to suit themselves .
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
Human environment 2 groups
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
1. Natural environment: 4 spheres1.1 Biosphere = Space occupied by life1.2 Atmosphere = Space occupied by air1.3 Lithosphere = Space occupied by solid1.4 Hydrosphere = Space occupied by water
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
How do the 4 spheres really exist?

2. Man-made environment2.1 Anthropogenic ecosystems
2.2 Physical structures
BBA Part1_1 (Gajaseni, 2001)
What are the Functions of Natural Environment?
