Last minute notes...

Heliozoa-Helio=sun-looks like a sun with many pseudopods that stick out like sun rays

Dinoflagellates-Dino-dinos can be heterotrophs or autotrophs-looks like an ear (do dinosaurs even have ears?)

Amoeboza-recall amoeba proteus=squishy thing with lots of “feet”

Radiolaria-radio=hard=has holes for speakers=prickly looking=radiolaria, radios cannot move, radiolarians can’t move, and radios need an outside source, this one is heterotrophic and sometimes depends on dinoflagellates.

Stramenopiles-grow in a “pile” brown algae is so big, like in a “pile” diatoms have tons of shells in a “pile”

Euglenoid-looks like a paramecium with no cilla, is photosynthetic, (see photo below)  have pellicle, and are photosynthetic

The end of the study notes trilogy


ØChemical evolution ended because oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere, and it caused many organisms who couldn’t take in oxygen to die
o   This ceased diversity, which caused less chemical evolution
Ø  Chemical evolution is when an organism adapts to using a new gas molecule
Ø  2n vs. n
o   2n=diploid
o   n=haploid
Ø  Polyploidy-when the chromosome number is three or greater
o   Happens in plants
o   If happens in organisms, they usually die
Ø  Eukaryotic vs. Bacterial flagellum
o   Eukaryotic-9+2 array, have different structure,

o   Bacterial-Adhere to surfaces and help with conjugation

Study Notes (Part 2)

Ø  African sleeping sickness is in the phylum trypanosomes and its scientific name is trypanosome brucei
Ø  It affects the nervous system
Ø  Different blood types have different enzymes on the outside
o   Blood type O is recessive
o   Blood type AB is a form of codominance
o   Blood type A is only made with AA or AO
o   Blood type B is only made with BB or BO
Ø  Euglenoid=freshwater dinoflagellate photoautotroph
Ø  Diatom=silica perforated shell pillbox shaped
Ø  A viroid is a piece of genetic information that is like a virus but with no proteins and is tightly folded RNA
Ø  viroid=naked, dangerous genetic info with no proteins
o   vs.

Ø  prion=coagulate massive deposit inside brain and causes infections, is tightly folded RNA, is not naked, and is a protien that is hard to solute (mad cow disease)

Study notes...(so far)

Ø  C3 plants are called c3 because it starts out with three carbons
Ø  A control group is identical to the experimental group except for the variable being tested
Ø  Sickle cell anima is caused by genetics
Ø  Sickle cell anima is a genetic disorder that causes hemoglobin to form irregular sickle-shaped blood cells

Ø  Isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic=deals with CONCENTRATION
    FOOD of the day

some people just really love it

Study Break!!! (with bad puns)


-By the way, if you didn't know, "ferrous" means containing iron

Trypanosomes

-Causes African Sleeping Sickness

Cells.......


(Sorry unclear............)
<-Plant cells    (looks like a box


<-  Animal cells (lots of variety) (this one looks like a raw meatball)

The Water Cycle (in simple terms)

Photolysis (never remembered learning this....)
