  3. How to Succeed in EEB 304

  4. How to Succeed in EEB 304 1. Read text assignment. Read it before class.

  5. How to Succeed in EEB 304 • Read text assignment. Read it before class. • Attend class. Pay attention. Take notes on lectures. Use opportunity to learn material, ask questions if unclear.

  6. How to Succeed in EEB 304 • Read text assignment. Read it before class. • Attend class. Pay attention. Take notes on lectures. Use opportunity to learn material, ask questions if unclear. • Use powerpoint slides on class web page to review. For many lectures there will be some explanatory text with some or all of the slides – this is meant to supplement the text and lectures, not replace them.

Use opportunity to learn material, ask questions if unclear. • Use powerpoint slides on class web page to review. For many lectures there will be some explanatory text with some or all of the slides – this is meant to supplement the text and lectures, not replace them. • Make a list, and study, unfamiliar terms. There will probably be many – in the process of learning them, you will learn much of the course material..

  10. World Population Growth

  11. Human Population Growth • Billions Time (Years) • 1 >60,000 • 2 123 • 3 33 • 4 14 • 5 13 • 6 11

  12. Distribution of Population Growth

  13. World Population - Future

  14. Dynamics of World Population Growth Assignment: Go to the following web site: http://opr.princeton.edu/popclock/ Record the date and time of your visit, and write down the estimate of human world population at that moment. E-mail the results, or alternatively turn in a hard copy to class. Due 1/18.

  20. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants

  21. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants Problem: Microscopic Organisms (Bacteria, Fungi, Algae)

  22. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants Problem: Microscopic Organisms (Bacteria, Fungi, Algae) Complication: Endosymbiotic origin of organelles (Lynn Margulis) Membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells are derived from formerly free-living organisms that have become intimately symbiotic

  23. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants Problem: Microscopic Organisms (Bacteria, Fungi, Algae) Complication: Endosymbiotic origin of organelles (Lynn Margulis) Membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells are derived from formerly free-living organisms that have become intimately symbiotic • Further Information: molecular phylogenetic information • Confirming evidence for endosymbiotic theory

  24. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants Problem: Microscopic Organisms (Bacteria, Fungi, Algae) Complication: Endosymbiotic origin of organelles (Lynn Margulis) Membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells are derived from formerly free-living organisms that have become intimately symbiotic • Further Information: molecular phylogenetic information • Confirming evidence for endosymbiotic theory • Suggestion that life split early into at least 3 major lineages

  25. What is a plant? Traditional View of Biology: Animals and Plants Problem: Microscopic Organisms (Bacteria, Fungi, Algae) Complication: Endosymbiotic origin of organelles (Lynn Margulis) Membrane-bound structures in eukaryotic cells are derived from formerly free-living organisms that have become intimately symbiotic • Further Information: molecular phylogenetic information • Confirming evidence for endosymbiotic theory • Suggestion that life split early into at least 3 major lineages Current Paradigm is 5 kingdom model: Monera; Protoctista; Fungi, Animalia, Plantae

  26. What is a Plant? • Eukaryotic • Chloroplasts present • Cell wall with cellulose • Autotrophic

  27. What is a Plant? • Eukaryotic • Chloroplasts present • Cell wall with cellulose • Autotrophic • Life Cycle with an alternation of generations

  28. What are Plants? • Eukaryotic • Chloroplasts present • Cell wall with cellulose • Autotrophic • Life Cycle with an alternation of generations

  29. Mystery Plant - This plant is a tropical tree.

  30. Mystery Plant - This plant is a tropical tree. - The sole source of the product originally was harvested from plants occurring in the wild.

  31. Mystery Plant - This plant is a tropical tree. - The sole source of the product originally was harvested from plants occurring in the wild - Seeds of the plant were taken (or smuggled?) out of the country in a diplomatic pouch and used to establish plantations elsewhere

  32. Mystery Plant - This plant is a tropical tree. - The sole source of the product originally was harvested from plants occurring in the wild - Seeds of the plant were taken (or smuggled?) out of the country in a diplomatic pouch and used to establish plantations elsewhere - The product became widely useful only after it was discovered accidentally how to alter its chemical and physical properties.

  33. Mystery Plant - This plant is a tropical tree. - The sole source of the product originally was harvested from plants occurring in the wild - Seeds of the plant were taken (or smuggled?) out of the country in a diplomatic pouch and used to establish plantations elsewhere - The product became widely useful only after it was discovered accidentally how to alter its chemical and physical properties. • What is the plant? • What is its native country? • What country was responsible for smuggling it? • In what century did this occur?

  34. “Stolen” by British Hevea brasiliensis “Para Rubber” Native to Brazil  taken to Indonesia in 19th century Native Grown
