Date: November 16, 2015 Aim #25: How are cells classified? Do Now: Warm-Up Notebook Date Title of Activity 11/16 Viruses HW: 1)Cheese Lab due Tomorrow Page # 46 Happy Birthday Dylan!!! Compare and contrast these two cars? How do these cells compare? 1) Cells are broken down into two main classes: Cells Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Prokaryotes: Were probably the first life forms to appear on earth 3.5 billion years ago What were the conditions on Earth at this time? 1)Hot 2)Little Oxygen 3)Abundant Lightning 4) Volcanic Activity Harsh Early Earth Miller and Urey in 1953 Steps: 1. Take molecules thought to be present in Earth’s early atmosphere: • Methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2), and water H2O). 2. Run continuous electric current through the system: • this simulate lightening storms believed to be common on early earth 3. After one week: • • 10-15 % of C was now in the form of organic compounds. 2% of C had formed some amino acids. 4. Importance: • organic compounds like amino acids could be made easily under the conditions that scientist believed to be present on early earth. Why do you think Prokaryotes were the first life forms on earth? 1)Simple Structures 2)Their ability to tolerate harsh environments 3)Their ability to adapt to changing environments Read as Class Endosymbiosis ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY TED- How we think cells evolved? http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-we-think-complex-cells-evolved-adamjacobson What are some features of prokaryotes? ** Although prokaryotes do not have nuclei, they do have DNA. 1)Prokaryotes have NO NUCLEUS!! 2) Have few organelles (mini-organs) 3) PROKARYOTES = BACTERIA What organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells? Plants Animals Fungi Protists All these living things are made up of Eukaryotic Cells What are some features of typical eukaryotic cells? 1) They are more complex 2) Appeared later on earth 3) They have nuclei 4) They are larger 5) Have more organelles 6) Have membrane bound organelles Cell Size and Scale http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cells/scale/ CELL TYPES • PROKARYOTIC • HAVE only a few ORGANELLES • HAVE NO NUCLEUS • PRIMITIVE CELLS • Only Bacteria • EUKARYOTIC • HAVE ORGANELLES • HAVE NUCLEUS • MODERN CELLS • All other living things: animals, plants, fungi, protist (unicellular organisms) ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY Different Cell Types How are they similar? How are they different?
