Endocytosis: Process of pulling large particles into the cell using energy Exocytosis: Releasing large particles from the cell using energy TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE CHEMICAL ENERGY LIVING THINGS process of photosynthesis on producers and other consumers TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE RELEASING ENERGY FOR LIFE energy. tion energy. TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE RESPIRATION glucose, fats, and protein and release their stored energy – no oxygen required – requiring oxygen triphosphate TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE AEROBIC RESPIRATION presence of oxygen 6H12O6 + 6O2 2+ 6H2O + Energy (ATP) TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION oxygen muscles.

What is a by-product of anaerobic respiration? KNOWLEDGE CHECK 1. What is the difference between a producer and a consumer? Producers can make their own foods through the process of photosynthesis. Consumers cannot make their own food and must rely on eating other producers/consumers for energy. 2. What is the chemical process of breaking down food and releasing energy? Respiration 3. What is a by-product of anaerobic respiration? Lactic acid (fermentation) REPRODUCING living things become older, they usually become larger in size. multiply on large numbers. themselves, quickly and easily. of cell division is known as MITOSIS. • Process in which the nucleus of the cell divides and the formation of two daughter cells occur Mitosis nvelope degrades; chromosomes start to condense. centrioles. Mitosis res. parent cell but smaller. KNOWLEDGE CHECK MATCH THE FOLLOWING PHASES WITH THEIR DESCRIPTIONS: 1. Daughter cells are genetically identical to each other. 2. Chromatid arms move to opposite ends of cell. 3. Chromatin condenses into chromosomes. 4. Chromosomes line up in center of cell. 5. Cytoplasm is divided between two cells. 6. Spindle fibers and centrioles duplicate. WHAT’S INSIDE THESE LITTLE THINGS? Cell Organelles Cytoplasm-gel like substance found in a cell Chloroplasts-a green structure in a plant Cell Wall-a stiff covering that protects plant cells Nucleus-control center of the cell Chromosomes-provides direction for cell to follow Endoplasmic Reticulum-transportation network Mitochondrion-produces energy in the cell Vacuole-cell storage sac for food, waste, and water Cell Organelles -cell storage sac for food, waste, and water –produces energy in a cell -provides direction for cells to follow Nucleus-control center of a cell --transportation system -gel like substance found in a cell -surrounds cell material Cell Organelles structures. These structures perform the same type of activities. same. These structures perform different activities but necessary to its particular cell. – found in plant not animal cells loroplasts – used in photosynthesis - found in plant not animal cells Nervous System Summary system. – whether you think about doing it (like drawing a picture), or not (like breathing and blinking). and control center. information on how the body is doing, what it needs, and sends a response to meet those needs. along the length of cells. These impulses travel up to 250 miles per hour! Skeletal System Summary move with the help of your muscles. 25 into 206 hard permanent bones. others produce white blood cells (fight harmful bacteria in the body). Muscular System Summary which allow us to move in many ways nerves can only pull they cannot push – pumps blood – pumps blood through the body – surrounds or are part of internal organs, they are involuntary (you can’t control them) -Skeletal muscle – carries out voluntary actions (you can control them) the most common type, make up 23% of women’s and 40% of men’s body weight Cardiovascular/Respiratory System Summary Cardiovascular system oxygen and collecting carbon dioxide using veins and arteries. Respiratory system lungs, nose, and mouth blood steam and getting rid of carbon dioxide. Digestive System Summary break down food so it can be used to make energy for the body. are constantly dying. food around the mouth and down the throat. food around the mouth and down the throat. digestion. break the food down to be used by the body for energy, building blocks for cells and tissues, and some is stored for later use. nutrients are absorbed. The parts of food that cannot be used are passed out of the body. CAUTION! BE ON THE LOOKOUT VIRUS -living because they do not have cells or use energy. ll, multiply, take over, and eventually kill the cell. VIRUS PARTS of a VIRUS lock onto the host cells. instructions for reproducing the virus once it is in its host. VIRUS REPRODUCTION the virus has entered the cell it can do 2 things: 1. ACTIVE VIRUS 1. Gets into the cell and begins to spread its genetic material. The cell makes new virus cells until it cannot hold them anymore and explodes, sending the viruses out into the The cell makes new virus cells until it cannot hold them anymore and explodes, sending the viruses out into the body 2. HIDDEN VIRUS 1. Acts the same way as an active virus except it does not begin to multiply immediately VIRUS BAD NEWS o the human body as well as other animals/plants. whereas some cause deadly disease such as HIV. h such as the rice dwarf virus, and others can harm animals such as distemper. GOOD NEWS material, scientists have begun to inject viruses with “good” genetic material. ed the cell, “good” genetic material can be duplicated and spread into the body. KNOWLEDGE CHECK 1. Why do scientists classify viruses as non-living? 2. Name the two parts of a virus. 3. Describe how viruses replicate. 4. What is one good thing about a virus? KNOWLEDGE CHECK 1. Why do scientists classify viruses as non-living? They do not require energy, have cells or make/excrete waste. 2. Name the two parts of a virus. Protein outershell, genetic material in the inner core 3. Describe how viruses replicate. Once inside the cell, the viruses genetic material begins to multiply and fill the cell. Once the cell is full, it bursts, and the new viruses spread. Once the cell is full, it bursts, and the new viruses spread. 4. What is one good thing about a virus? Scientists can use viruses and fill them with “good” genetic information. Once they are injected into the body, they can attach to cells and multiply as if they were destructive. BACTERIA -celled BACTERIA ARCHAEBACTERIA -free environments -water EUBACTERIA bes BACTERIA SHAPE -shaped: STRUCTURE • Capsule • Cell wall • Ribosomes • Nucleoid • Flagella • Pilli • Cytoplasm BACTERIA REPRODUCTION ASEXUAL parent. then its parents. BACTERIA BAD NEWS an happen in several ways: GOOD NEWS organisms to grow. to break down grass and hay. nutrients by the bacteria, and is no longer present to produce odors, sludge, and pollution t, cottage, & Swiss cheeses, sour cream, and buttermilk are made from bacteria that grows in milk. THERES A FUNGUS AMONG US! FUNGI gi are symbionts with other organisms. photosynthetic with dew FUNGI STRUCTURE FUNGI FOOD SOURCE which is absorbed. REPRODUCTION separates. that are different from both parents FUNGI - produce spores in their threadlike hyphae (ex. bread mold) - produce spores in structures that look like sacs (ex. yeast) - produce spores in structures that look like clubs (ex. mushrooms) - those that cannot reproduce sexually (ex. penicillin) FUNGI BAD NEWS 1. Plant diseases 2. Human diseases 3. Food GOOD NEWS 1. Food 2. Molds in cheeses – Blue cheese 3. Aspergillus - used to make soy sauce and citric acid 4. Yeasts 5. Penicillium 6.
