Bellwork: 1/27/15 Read the question. Write two key pieces of information from the question. Then, summarize each of the statements in the box. 17. Scientists conduct an experiment on natural selection and place animals on a large island. They have modified the animals so that there is no variety (variation) between and among the species on this island. This could be a problem for many reasons, especially if the island had a varied ecosystem. What reason(s) listed below could cause problems for identical animals in a varied ecosystem?

Domain Eukaryota

Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. They do not have much in common except that they are relatively simple eukaryotes. They are either unicellular or multicellular without reaching the specialized tissue level of organization. Protists include organisms such as algae, amoebae, protozoans, euglena, and slime molds. Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Some protists, such as algae, are photosynthetic, so they are autotrophs. Other protists are heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients from their environment. Amoebae engulf, or take into their membrane, other cells. This process is called phagocytosis. Most protists reproduce asexually, through a form of cell division. Other protists engage in a form of sexual reproduction. Some protists are responsible for diseases such as malaria in humans and potato blight in potato plants. Research scientists are experimenting with ways to use protists to wipe out fire ants and other pests.

Fungi are a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes such organisms as yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. Many fungi are multicellular, but some are unicellular, such as yeast. Some differences between fungi and other eukaryotes are at the cellular level. Fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin. Fungi are heterotrophs. They take in nutrients by absorbing them from their environment. Fungi reproduction is complex. Many fungi reproduce both asexually and sexually at different stages in their life cycles. Fungal reproduction often involves the production and dispersal of spores. Fungi can be both harmful and helpful. Some fungi grow in or on plants or animals causing disease, such as Dutch Elm Disease or Ringworm. Fungi, such as the mold that the antibiotic penicillin is made from, can help organisms by killing bacteria. Yeast is used in the process of baking bread. Other fungi are used to produce cheese and yogurt.
