Life Processes in Living Things
Biology I
2
Transport How does the organism move needed substances into & out of cells? Plants Xylem: moves water & minerals up Phloem: moves food up & down Diffusion, Osmosis, Endocytosis, Exocytosis Cellular basis Circulatory System Move across large distances Open vs. Closed
3
Transport – Cellular Level
4
Transport - Plants
5
Transport – Circulatory System
6
Excretion How does the organism removal waste from the body?
Diffusion: high low (cell to cell) Plants: transpiration (H2O & O2) Protists: contractile vacuole, anal groove Animals: Diffusion Malpighian Tubules (insects) Kidneys
7
Excretion - Protist
8
Excretion - Mammals
9
Respiration How are O2 & CO2 exchanged? Transpiration (in plants)
Simple diffusion through moist surface Skin Trachae (insects) Gills (aquatic organisms Lungs (higher animals)
10
Respiration - Plants
11
Respiration - Animals
12
Regulation/Homeostasis
To maintain balance/equilibrium Single-Celled Organism - diffusion Multi-cellular Organisms Nutrients – blood sugar Wastes Body Temp pH
13
Nutrition Process of getting nutrients into the cells of the body
Protists: endocytosis, oral groove, diffusion Plants: roots, photosynthesis Animals: digestive system, villi
14
Nutrition - Endocytosis
15
Nutrition
16
Reproduction Continuation of the species/offspring
Asexual: identical to parents Binary Fission – bacteria and/or protists Budding Fragmentation Sexual: variation from parents External: sperm + egg meet outside the body Must live in water Internal: sperm + egg meet inside the body
17
Asexual – Binary Fission
18
Asexual - Budding
19
Asexual - Fragmentation
20
Sexual – creates variation
External Fertilization
21
Sexual Internal Fertilization
22
Growth & Development Growth: increase in amount Development: changes
mitosis Development: changes Amniotic Egg –creates a boundary that allows the embryo to develop on land (w/o water) Metamorphosis Complete: egg nymph adult Incomplete: egg larva pupa adult Butterflies, flies
23
Complete Metamorphosis
24
Incomplete Metamorphosis
25
Amniotic Egg
