  2. Lesson 1: Plants

  3. Photosynthesis Review • 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Plants convert solar energy into useable chemical energy (sugar) • Since plants make their own food, they are AUTOTROPHIC! • Occurs in the chloroplasts

  4. Leaf Structures Leaves absorb energy from the sun (Broader/ bigger leaves absorb more sunlight!) • Epidermis- covers the upper and lower surfaces and secretes a waxy coating called a cuticle • Veins- vascular tissues (like the circulatory system) of the plant and run from the leaves through the stems and the roots to supply leaf cells with water and nutrients • Phloem: takes sugars down, remember “Phlo low” • Xylem: brings water up, remember “Xy high” • Stomata/ stoma- allow gases (CO2 and O2) in and out of the cell

  5. Transpiration • Transpiration – loss of water vapor from a plant • If a plant has adequate water, water exerts turgor pressure against cell walls • If a plant loses too much water, cells lose water and become flaccid, and the plant wilts

  6. Stomata let CO2 in and control water loss • Each stomata is surrounded by guard cells • When plants have plenty of water, stomata open and CO2 can diffuse into the leaf • When plants lose too much water, guard cells become flaccid and stomata close – this prevents more water loss

  7. Stems and Roots • Stems for conduction • Phloem- transports sap containing sugars and amino acids through the cytoplasm in the tube • Xylem- transports water from the roots to the leaves • Roots for water absorption • Fibrous root system: has many branching roots and are usually close to the surface which helps prevent erosion, like corn and beans • Taproot system: roots penetrate into deep soil and are usually long and slender with short side branches, like oak and carrots

  8. Lesson 2: Energy Flow Through Ecosystems

  9. Physical Aspects in an Ecosystem • BIOTIC FACTORS • Bio means “life” • Living organisms • Ex: plants, animals ABIOTIC FACTORS • “a” means “not” • Non-living things • Ex: rocks, wind, sun, water, dirt

  10. Symbiotic Relationships • Mutualism: both partners benefit • Commensalism: one partner benefits and the other partner is not affected • Parasitism: one partner benefits and the other is harmed • Predatory: predator/prey - one organism eats the other

  11. Mouse Wheat Owl Snake A food chain shows one path energy can take A food web is a collection of several food chains, linked together

  12. Trophic Levels = feeding level • Producers are at the bottom, they make their own food • Primary consumers eat producers (herbivores) • Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (carnivores)

  13. 10 % Rule • Only 10 % of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to the next • 90% is lost as heat

  14. The greatest amount of energy in the ecosystem is stored in the producers. There is more grass than grasshoppers, and there are more grasshoppers than frogs. There are very few tertiary consumers in an ecosystem because it takes a lot of energy to feed one.

  15. BIOMAGNIFICATION Toxins (poisons) can build up in the food chain. The toxin becomes more and more concentrated as you go up the trophic levels.

  16. Lesson 3: Evolution and Adaptations

  17. All organisms have adaptations that help them survive in their environment Examples of Plant Adaptations: • Support/food storage: Stiff cell walls in stems and trunks, vascular tissue that carries water and food, Starch storage in roots. • Prevention of water loss: Waxy cuticle, stomata on leaves, reduced leaf surface area (cactus), seed coats • Reproduction: Seed dispersal by wind and animals, colors to attract pollinators, pollen, co-evolution with insects • Defense: Toxins, thorns, bark

  18. Examples of Animal Adaptations: • Protection and prevention of dehydration: exoskeletons, armor, scales, skin, kidneys • Defense/Predation: Claws, teeth, well developed eye lens, sense of smell, speed, camouflage, armor, mimicry • Reproduction: Eggs, internal fertilization, placentas, care of young, nesting Which one is venomous? Looks like owl eyes! This butterfly scares away potential predators

  19. Life is very Diverse Diversity is a measure of how many different types of organisms live in an area A rainforest is a very diverse habitat (many different species of plants, animals, fungi, etc.) A desert is not very diverse (Cacti and a few species of animals) A species is a group of animals that can breed and produce fertile offspring. (Cocker spaniel and poodle produce a cockapoo. Lion and tiger producing a liger. Elephant and a rabbit can not produced a rabbant!- not same species)

  20. Five basic components of Natural Selection

  21. Every species is different, even within itself. Look around you…are you all the same? 1. All species have genetic variation. Variation can be caused by mutations.

  22. 2. Organisms produce more offspring than can survive. The female green sea turtle lays a clutch of about 110 eggs. She may lay several clutches. It is likely that less than 1% of the hatchlings will ever reach sexual maturity.

  23. food shelter water space mates 3. Since more organisms are produced than can survive, there is competition(struggle for existence). Within and Among Species for And Within a Species for

  24. 4. The constant struggle for survival is affected by changes in the environment (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, etc.)

  25. Over time, genes for favorable characteristics will be more common Example: giraffes and their increasingly longer necks 5. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTESTIndividuals that are best adapted to their environment survive and leave more offspring

  26. Speciation If two populations of the same species become separated by a barrier, each group may change in different ways. Eventually they may become different enough that they are no longer the same species (can’t produce offspring together).

  27. E F G C D Present B 100mya A Phylogenetic Trees are diagrams that show relationships A is thecommon ancestor. B is extinct.E and F are the most closely related.

  28. Lesson 4: Viruses and Bacteria

  29. Viruses • ARE NOT LIVING! • Can only reproduce inside host cell • Cell Specific- will only bind to certain cells • Polio virus only attaches to human nerve cells

  30. Viruses destroy host cell!

  31. Viruses • Viral infection must run their course- NO ANTIBIOTICS! • There are vaccines that prevent some viral infections, like polio, influenza and chicken pox. • An organism’s immune system fights viruses with fever & antibodies.

  32. Viral diseases • HIV • Destroys Helper T cells of the immune system • Causes AIDS • Influenza and common cold • spread by contact

  33. Bacillus Spirillum Coccus Bacteria shapes • Coccus: round or spherical • Spirillum: spiral-shaped • Bacillus: rod-shaped

  34. Good Types Nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Nitrogen cycle) In food (Lactobacillus in yogurt) In digestive system (E. coli) Decomposers Bad Types Cause disease Strep throat Diphtheria Staph infection Food poisoning Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics Bacteria
