This unit covers essential concepts such as equilibrium, endocytosis, and exocytosis, focusing on how substances are transported across cell membranes through passive and active processes. Key topics include homeostasis, hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, and the role of protein channels in facilitated diffusion. Additionally, the unit explores ecological succession, distinguishing between primary and secondary succession, and emphasizes the impact of human activities on the environment. Understanding plant and animal adaptations, along with tropisms, further enriches our knowledge of biological interactions.

EOCT material: Unit 4 EquilibriumVocabulary • Equilibrium • Endocytosis Exocytosis Na/K pump Concentration gradient • Hydrophilic • Hydrophobic • Protein channels • Facilitated diffusion • Primary succession • Seconday succession • Climax community • Phototropism • Gravitropism • Thigmotropism
Cell Membrane Function • Homeostasis: the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment to survive • Cell Membrane: controls homeostasis for cells by allowing substance in and out while maintaining equilibrium.
Ecology TopicsSuccession of Ecosystems • Primary succession-starts with bare rock
Secondary Succession • Starts with lichen, grasses (pioneer plants) over time creates a climax community
Human Activities on the Environment • Global warming-excess carbon dioxide
Deforestation and resource depletion Ozone Depletion Air Pollution
Chemical Pollutants • F Fertilizers
Plant Tropisms (behavior) • Bend toward Shoots grow Response the sun/ up, roots down to touch
