Homeostasis (PAGES 72-75)
2
The term homeostasis was first used by American Walter Bradford Cannon in 1820s

4
What happens in your body when you get cold? Sensor (receptor): detects a change Integrating Center (control center): processes info; directs appropriate response Effector: causes the response
6
Feedback loops A process in which a signal tends to initiate or inhibit a process NEGATIVE FEEDBACK: causes a response to decrease the change. Most common form. POSITIVE FEEDBACK: causes a response which increases (amplifies) the signal/change.
9
How does temp regulation work in ectothermic organisms?
10
Ectothermic temp regulation Too hot Seek shade Torpor, inactive Seek water Estivation Too cold Sunbathe (basking) Huddle Vibrate Heat exchange mechanisms
11
Neg feedback: blood sugar levels
12
POSITIVE FEEDBACK Increases a process; amplifies an action. Continues until a negative feedback response takes over.
13
How is fruit ripening a positive feedback?
14
Failure to maintain homeostasis results in disease
15
Example case: Failure to maintain steady blood sugar levels
16
Diabetes.. A few facts Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood glucose. No insulin production (type 1; 10% of cases) Inadequate insulin production (type 2; about 90% of cases) Cells do not respond to insulin Gestational In 2013, over 328 million people in the world had diabetes.
17
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
18
EFFECTS OF UNREGULATED BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS
19
Research a feedback loop Show normal values Show interactions (diagram with labels) Explain in paragraph how it works Identify as positive/negative What happens when not balanced (disease state)?

MAINTAINING HOMEOSTASIS: EVOLUTIONARY CONSERVATION Pages 84-84
21
Living organisms need to maintain proper water balance (osmoregulation)
23
Systems change and become more complex, but continue to perform the functions necessary to maintain homeostasis
24
KEEPING THE BALANCE: INDENTIFYING PATTERNS
25
CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE HOMEOSTASIS of cells and of organisms
26
Cells are affected by biotic and abiotic factors Biotic: cell density, cell types, predation (single celled organism), etc Abiotic: water availability, chemical messages, pH, temperature, light, etc
27
Example: Quorum Sensing in bacteria
28
Change in Environment influences Homeostasis of organisms Pagse 77-82
29
Organisms are affected by biotic and abiotic factors Dispersal Patterns are an example of responses…
33
What determines dispersal patterns? BIOtICABIOTIC
34
Biotic Competition Seed dispersal Behavior Herd/pack Protection aggression abiotic Limited resources Water Sunlight Shelter/space Nutrients toxins
35
Estimating population size
36
Direct count
37
Mark and recapture
38
How does mark-recapture work?
39
Challenge: How many mealworms?
40
How can I use mark-recapture to estimate the number of mealworms in the container? Use larval form. Marking should not harm the organism. How will you capture your sample? What problems can you anticipate? Solutions?

Green ash, which commonly grows along bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and streams, and in floodplains, serves as habitat for several species of wildlife, particularly birds, and, in Indiana, endangered species of bats and snakes. White ash prefers upland slopes and ravines, and black ash favors areas near rivers and streams, and along bogs. Ash trees in these areas produce shade that cools the water, improving the habitat for fish and insects. ash trees and their fruit provide habitat and food for various animals, such as birds, squirrels, and insect larvae.fruitbirdssquirrelsinsect
