stable internal conditions in spite of changes in the external environment

HOMEOSTASIS

help organisms maintain homeostasis; increase the speed of chemical reactions; fit with substrate like a

lock and keysubstrate

ENZYMES

changes• the variable that is measured

IN AN EXPERIMENT . . .

Remember . . .

Only test one variable at a

time.

Can you name the

cells to the left?

Cell Organelles

• powerhouse; produces ATP

• where proteins are made

• lipid bilayer; controls what enters and leaves cell

• contains chlorophyll; needed for photosynthesis

Mitochondria“mighty mitochondria”

Ribosome

Cell Membrane

Chloroplast

WATERPolar Universal solventHigh heat of vaporizationLess dense in its solid form

Water has cohesive and adhesive properties allowing for capillary action to take place in trees.

cohesion Water sticks to itself

adhesion Water sticks to other substances

Hyper-shrinksHypo=expands

_________ = cell shrinks __________ = cell expands

movement of water from a high to low concentrationOsmosis

Hypertonic Hypotonic

movement of substances from a high to low concentrationDiffusion

Two Types:

-requires oxygen (produces 36 ATP)

-does not require oxygen (produces 2 ATP)

transfer of energy in organic compounds to ATPCELLULAR RESPIRATION

AEROBIC

ANAEROBIC

What is used in cellular respiration is produced in photosynthesis---what is used in photosynthesis is

produced in cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis

Takes in which gas?

Releases which gas?

Carbon Dioxide

Oxygen

Produces food

(C6H12O6 - glucose)

for the plant

6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is the main purpose of

photosynthesis?

Somatic (body cell) division• DNA must replicate before

division takes place• Results=2 diploid cells

MITOSIS

• Gamete (sex cell) division

• Results = 4 haploid cells

MEIOSIS

When fertilization takes place, 2 haploid cells (sperm and egg) unite to create what?

1 diploid cell

KINGDOMS OF LIFE

-Cell walls of chitin

-Cell walls of cellulose

-No cell walls

What are the two types of cells?Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

What organisms are eukaryotic?

bacteria

What organisms are prokaryotic?

animals, plants, fungi, and protists

Bacteria

UnicellularProkarytoticEubacteria / ArchaebacteriaCell WallReproduce Sexually or Asexually (Binary Fission)Remember Sexual reproduction is the best because

it creates variation in the species.

Protists

Unicellular or MulticellularMost diverse groupFirst eukaryotes“Catch-all Group”Plant-like, Fungus-like, Animal-likeCan be Heterotrophic and/or Autotrophic

What do Paramecium move with? Cilia

What do Amoeba move with?Pseudopodia

What do Euglena move with?Flagellum

Fungi Unicellular or Multicellular Eukaryotic Heterotrophic-absorption Cell walls made of chitin Reproduce sexually or asexually (spores) Visible portion is reproductive structure and body

is mass of hyphae (mycelium)

Isolation Condition in which two

populations of the same species cannot breed with one another

– Geographic-separated by a physical feature (i.e. canyon)

– Reproductive-can no longer mate with each other (i.e. different mating times, physical differences, no longer attracted to the other)

Process by which populations change in response to their environment

as individuals better adapted to the environment survive and

reproduce and pass those favorable characteristics on

NUTRITIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

• Organism that cannot make its own food; must consume food

Examples: animals, fungi, some bacteria and protists (decomposers, herbivore, omnivores, carnivores)

• Organism that can produce its own food; usually by photosynthesis

Examples: plants, some bacteria and some protists
