If you have transparent sections in your layers you'll be able to see the Background through these sections. Below I have three layers each with a shape on the layer. I also have a Background on the bottom filled with a solid color. This is how the layers palette and file looks.

You can easily change a Background into a layer. Here I have a Background filled with a solid color. First you'd double click in the empty section of the Background, black dot. If using Photoshop CS3 you'd double click in the layer's thumbnail, black arrow. When you do a New Layer dialog box appears. Click OK. And your Background is now a layer.
