1. Lesson 2- Diversity of Life
Organism- an individual form of life that is capable of growing, processing nutrients, and reproducing

2. Lesson 2 Review-Diversity of Life
1) Hunts small animals at night and generates electric signals
2) Longest known organism to live in water
3) Makes substances that are harmful to bad bacteria
4) Captures insects and lives in North and South Carolina
5) Largest known land organism and lives in Oregon
6) Lives near areas of volcanic activity and only one micrometer across
Honey mushroom fungus
Venus Flytrap
Ocean bottom organism
Yogurt-making bacteria (Lactobacillus)
Giant Kelp
Black Ghost Knife fish

3. Lesson 3 Review-Challenges of Life
Who knows what 3 things organisms must be able to do in order to survive? Raise your hand if you know!!

4. Lesson 3 Review-Challenges of Life
Obtain energy!
Produce offspring!
Maintain their structure!

5. All organisms have 4 basic needs. What are they?
Food Air Water Place to Live

6. Unit 1, Lesson 5/6-Classification of Living Things and Domains of Life
In 1753, a Swedish scientist named Carolus Linneaus developed a system of naming and classifying living things based on how they relate to each other. This is called-
Taxonomy
the process of dividing things into groups according to their characteristics is called-
Classification

7. What are all of the categories?
Did (Domain) King (Kingdom) Phillip (Phylum) Come (Class) Over (Order) For (Family) Good (Genus) Spaghetti? (Species)
More
general
More specific

9. Then, Scientists add a new top category- called a Domain
Then, Scientists add a new top category- called a Domain. It is the broadest category. There are 3 domains!
Archaea
Bacteria
Eukarya
-tiny
-single-celled (prokaryote)
-no nucleus
-often live in extreme, harsh environments, like hot springs, deep parts of the ocean, etc.
-tiny
-single-celled (prokaryote)
-no nucleus
-includes bad bacteria that causes disease and good bacteria that helps our bodies
-larger than the other two
-includes all life forms with cells that have nuclei (eukaryote)
-includes all animals, plants, fungi, and protozoa
Divides into 4 categories-
Kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae,Animalia

10. Unit 1, Lesson 7-Classifying Organisms Lab
Print off and cut out the taxonomy cards
Separate all of the organism cards from the rest
-Domestic Dog -American Brown Bear -Goldfish
-Human Domestic Cat Bess Beetle
For each organism, one at a time, try to classify from largest to smallest. (start with Eukarya card, then put Animalia under it, etc.)
Look at the cards closely. If you have trouble with this, then have your LC print off the answer key and go through the arrangements from the key, one organism at a time.

11. Unit 1, Lesson 7-Lab-Classifying organisms
Example-
Domestic Cat
Eukarya (Domain) Broadest
Animalia (Kingdom)
Chordata (Phylum)
Mammalia (Class)
Carnivora (Order)
Felidae (Family)
Felis (Genus)
Felis Catus (Species) Most specific
Be able to answer the following questions-
1) What are some similarities among the organisms on the cards? What are some differences?
2) Why is it important to classify living things?

12. Unit 1, Lesson 8-Chemistry of Life
-Organisms are made out of thousands of different chemicals! -All matter is made of atoms and molecules! -Molecule- when 2 or more atoms combine chemically! -Carbon- an element that is the basis or organic compounds that are essential for all living things!
-Organic molecules- molecules that contain carbon and are essential for all living things! -The most common in elements in organic compounds (besides carbon), are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus!
and molecules!
-Molecul

13. Organic Compounds- 4 main types
Carbohydrates
Composed of one or more sugar units.
Main functions are to store energy and serve as structural material
Examples- table sugars, starch in potatoes and grains
Lipids
Composed of long chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached
They are not soluble in water
They are used in energy storage and chemical messengers
Includes waxes, fats, and oils

14. Organic Compounds-4 main types
Proteins
Serves as carriers of other substances, information and guards against invasion
Made by connecting amino acids together (type of organic molecule)
Nucleic Acids
Composed of many smaller molecules called nucleotides connected together
Important in storing and transmitting info necessary for processes of life
-2 types-
DNA-contains instructions for all of
organism’s traits
RNA- carries genetic info and de-
livers amino acids
