1. Unit 6: Living Organisms
January 22 - February 4

2. Tuesday, January 22
Objective: Analyze the cellular (multi vs uni) structure of living organisms.
Do Now: Analyze the pictures below. What characteristics make the organisms alive?

4. Unicellular Organisms
Composed of only one cell (single-celled)
Small in size
Simple structure (Prokaryotes)
No internal organs or cell membranes
Examples: bacteria, yeast, amoeba, paramecium

5. Unicellular Organisms

6. Multicellular Organisms
Many-celled (millions of cells)
Larger in size
Complex structure - internal organs (Eukaryotes)
Cells work together to keep an organism alive
Examples: plants, animals, and human beings

7. Multicellular Organisms

9. Create a Venn Diagram to Compare & Contrast Unicellular and Multicellular Organisms

10. Cell Theory Scientists
Cell Thoery Song

11. January 24, 2013
Objective: Analyze the characteristics of living things.
Do Now: Describe at least 2 differences between unicellular and multicellular organisms.

12. Characteristics of All Living Things
List and describe the characteristics of living things described in each video (You should have two lists)
At the end of the video we will compare and contrast your two lists

13. Monday, January 28
Objective:Describe the characteristics and needs of living organisms.
Do Now: What does a living organism need to survive?

14. Characteristics - Cellular Structure
Unicellular - one cell
Multicellular - many cells

15. Characteristics - Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
All genetic material comes from the parent organism
Types
Budding - Offspring grows out the body of the parent
Binary fission - Divide in half
Sporulation - Division into four or more daughter cells
Vegetative Propagation - New plant grows from parts of parent plant

16. Characteristics - Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Each of 2 parent organisms contribute half of the offspring's genetic makeup
Internal vs External Fertilization
Internal - Fertilization takes place inside the female (most land animals)
External - Egg and sperm unite outside of the body

17. Characteristics - Growth & Development
Increase in size and become more complex
Development
Changes an organism goes through as it grows
Examples:
Tadpole to frog
Egg to caterpillar to butterfly

18. Characteristics - Energy
Gain energy from food and/or sunlight
Animals
Herbivore - eats only plants
Carnivore - eats animals
Omnivore - eats both plants and animals
Plants use photosynthesis
Converting light energy to chemical energy that can be used as fuel
Use energy to make food, break down food, move materials into and out of cells, and building cells

19. Characteristics - Environmental Response
Action taken by an organism to react to a change in the environment
Examples:
Plants grow toward light
Pull your hand from stove so you don't get burned
Worm retreats into burrow when touched

20. Characteristics - Adaptations
Features that help an organism survive in their environment
Examples
Fish have gills
Desert plants have waxy leaves

21. Needs
Energy
Food
Water
Rivers, lakes, puddles, groundwater, or food

22. Needs 4. Temperature (Homeostasis)
Maintain a specific temperature
Endothermic - warm blooded
Body temperature maintained by metabolic conversion of food to heat
Exothermic - cold blooded
Body temperature determined by surroundings
Regulate heat
Fur, body fat, moves out the sun, sweat

23. Needs 5. Gas Exchange
Respiration - requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide
Lungs - Oxygen from air
Gills - Oxygen from water (dissolved in water)
Plants - require carbon dioxide (for photosynthesis) and produce oxygen

24. Needs 6. Living Space Light or dark? Temperature Needed resources
Water, air, food
Competition
Limited resources increase competition

25. Tuesday, January 29 Objective: Classify living organisms.
Do Now: What are the 6 characteristics of living organisms?
Assignment: Red Textbook: Read pages & Answer questions 1-6 on page 26

26. Wednesday, January 30
Objective: Analyze classification of living organisms.
Do Now: Why do we classify "things"? (You can describe anything: clothes, cars, animals, writing utensils) Remember complete sentences with a sentence starter!

27. 5 Kingdoms "Handy" Classification
Draw a hand or trace your hand inside your notebook

28. (Green) Thumb - Plants Chlorophyll - makes food for plants
Two main divisions:
Vascular - can live far from water because of roots, stems, & leaves
Nonvascular - came first

29. Index finger (#1) - Monera
1st form of life
Mostly one-celled organisms
Prokaryotic - no nucleus

30. Pinky Finger - Protists
Very small - most unicellular
3 main groups:
Protozoans
Algae
Slime molds

31. Ring finger - Fungi (Fun guy:)
Larger finger - some multicellular
Nonmotile - doesn't move
Saprophytic - live off dead things

32. Middle (largest) finger - Animals
(When used inappropriately "the bird")
Largest kingdom
both physical size & variety
