Do you recognizethis song or artist?

Well……School’s Almost Out…

Scientists to Know….• Zacharias Janssen (1590) –put two magnifying

glasses in a tube.

• Anton van Leewenhoek (1600’s) created simple microscope using glass bead for lens.

• Robert Hooke (1665) – looked at cork through microscope and called the “empty boxes” cells.

• Matthias Schleiden (1839) – said all plants are made of plant cells.

• Theodor Schwann (1839) – said all animals are made of animal cells.

• Rudolph Virchow (1856) – said that older cells form new cells

Microscopes

Cells • Cells perform numerous

functions: respiration, waste removal, growth, irritability, and reproduction.

• Cell theory:

a. All organisms are made of cells

b. Cells are the basic unit of life.

c. Cells come from other cells

Onion cells

Cells to Systems……

• Organelles form cells, cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems.

• Ex: nervous system; respiratory system; etc……

Cell Review

Differences • Plants cells have chloroplasts that hold

chlorophyll giving them their green color; cell walls, and larger vacuoles to store food.

• Animal cells have centrioles.

Cell Parts and Their Functions…

• Cell membrane – decides what comes in or out.

• Nucleus – directs all activities.• Cytoplasm – gel- like material inside the

cell.• Endoplasmic reticulum - moves things

within the cell (highway system).• Golgi bodies – packages materials to be

moved.• Mitochondria –produces energy.

Brain Break

Continued….

• Lysosomes –destroy waste

• Ribosomes – make protein

• Chloroplasts - turn light into food

• Cell wall –protects the cell.

• Vacuoles- storage units for food, water, and waste.

Cell Tour

Cell Processes• Diffusion – moves molecules from where there

are many to where there are few (from high to low concentration).

• Osmosis – the diffusion of water through a cell membrane.

• Cells strive to maintain equilibrium.

Mitosis and Meiosis• Mitosis- the nucleus of a

cell divides and creates two identical nuclei in a series of phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

• Meiosis - is the division of cells into four parts producing sex cells.

Terminology to Know…

• Unicellular - made up of only one cell.

• Multi-cellular -made up of many cells.

• Complex organisms need more cells.

Paramecium

Animal/Plant Grouping• Biggest to smallest – Kingdom,

Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

• Species – share common characteristics and have fertile offspring.

• Ex: lion and tiger have ligers that are infertile (not a species) but a dog and wolf have pups that are fertile (are a species)

Brain Break

Populations

• Populations compete for basic resources, mates and territories.

• Must cooperate with each other to meet needs.

• Have social order to ensure that labor and resources are shared.

• Every organism fills a specific niche (job or role) in its community.

Populations and Niches

Symbiotic Relationships– Mutualism - both organisms benefit.

Ex: clown fish and sea anemone.

– Commensalism - one benefits and the other is unaffected. Ex: flies on a horse

– Parasitism - one benefits and one is harmed. Ex: dog and flea

Clown Fish and Anemone

Living Space

• Ecosystems include forests, tidal pool, ponds, etc…• Ecosystems are living communities within a biome.• Biome is defined by climate range and how well the

organisms have adapted in that area.• Biomes are made up of ecosystems.

Biomes and Succession

Biomes and Succession

Brain Break

Organisms…• Organisms exist as a member of

their population.

* Organisms adapt to abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors in their home.

Rescuing Animals from Poachers

Vocab to know…

• Phototropism – when plants grow toward their food source. (move toward the sun)

• Hibernation – animal response to cold conditions with a period of lowered metabolism.

• Dormancy –response to adverse conditions with a period of low or suspended metabolism. (trees/plants do this)

Genetics• DNA is a double helix molecule.• It includes four components that

form a chemical code.• Chromosomes are strands of DNA.• Genes are sections of chromosomes

that carry the code for a specific trait.

• The basic laws of Mendelian genetics explains the transmission of some traits that can be inherited from generation to generation.

DNA and Criminal Investigation

More on Genetics…• Genetic engineering is when the

genetic code is manipulated by man to get a desired product .

• There are practical applications in medicine, agriculture, and biology.

• Evolutionary processes include mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinction.

Ex. UsingMiracleGrow…

Evolutionary Processes• Adaptation – a change that increases chance of

survival.• Mutation – a change that does not help the organism

to survive. (sometimes harmful)• The evidence for evolution is from the fossil record,

radioactive dating, genetic information, distribution of animals, and similarities within species.

• Heterozygous gene (hybrid) – the genes in the genotype are different. Ex. (Bb)

* Homozygous gene (purebred) – the genes in the genotype are the same. Ex. (bb, BB)

Genetics

Finishing it all up…• Extinction is when a species dies

out.• Natural Selection – “only the

strong survive”…is when nature decides who lives and who dies.

• Biodiversity – means many different forms of living creatures in one area.

• Ex. The ocean and the rain forest are extremely biodiverse.

Just for fun!
