    Bioenergetics: Movement of energy between organisms

    Chapter 23 Classification (380-386)

    Taxonomy-study of classification & how kingdoms came about
             Five Kingdoms: Anamalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protoctists, and Prokaryote
                           Needed because of so many organisms (2.5 million)
    History:4th century BC- Aristotle: lay foundation, classify according to parts,
                     based on observations of blood/noblood, animals by air/water/land
         Theophratits-plants by stem (soft, large, amount)
        Mid 1700s- Carolus Linnaeus: (Sweden), father of Modern
                     Classification, started with two kingdoms, Systema Naturi,
                     Binomial Nomenclature-Latin (easy to understand, no longer
                     spoken-doesn't change), can easily add/move
               Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
                     (name Genus species)-italicized or underlined
         Modern: has changed, more kingdoms, more organisms

    Cell Basics:
    People:
      Anton Von Leewenhoek-developing 1st microscope
      Robert Hooke-coined "cell," saw 1st cell
      Matthais Schleiden-1st to recognise that all plants have cells 1838
      Thedor Schwann-recognized that all animals have cells 1839
      Rudolf Virchow-all cells come from preexisting cells 1850s

    Cell Theory:
       basis for studying, reference point
       by Schleiden & Schwann
       1.) all living things are composed of cells
       2.) cells are basic units of structure & function of living things
       3.) all cells come from pre-existing cells

    Cells vary in size: (micrometer=millionth of meter)
           smallest: 0.02 micrometer in diameter
           largest: 1000 micrometer in diameter
           most between 5-50 micrometers in diameter

    Some structure are common to most cells:
    1.) cell membrane-regulates what enters & leaves, aids in protection & support, composed of a double layer of lipids
    (bilayer), proteins act as channels, allow
    molecules to pass, carbohydrates attatched to proteins enable calls to recognize/interact-->fluid mosaic model
    2.) nucleus-large dark structure in many cells, not present in all cells, contains DNA(genetic material), directs activities
    that occur in living cells, surrounded by
    nuclear envelope which allows molecules to move in&out, contains nucleolus<--made of RNA&proteins
    3.) Cytoskeleton-framework of filaments & fibers for support & movement, composed of microtubes made out of
    proteins/produce centrioles, microfilaments permit
    movement of cytoplasm (cytoplasmic streaming)
    4.) cytoplasm-area that contains organelles, protein rich semifluid (cytosol)
    5.) mitochondria-cellular respiration changes chemical energy in foods into compounds<--ATP, made of 2 membranes
    (outer surounds organelles, inner has folds to
    increase surface area), several hundred per cell
    6.) cell wall-in plants, algae, some bacteria, protects & supports cell, very porous--allowing H2O, O2, & CO2 to pass,
    made up of cellulose fibers(plants) which makes
    wall stretch as it grows

    Osmosis-H2O moves high concentration to low through selectively permeable membrane
    Osmotic pressure-moves H2O from more dilute to concentrated
                                   plant cell wall prevents H2O from moving at high speed
    contractile vacule-pushes excess water back out

    diffusion-any substance from high concentration to low till balence (equilibrium), once equal-H2O moves back & forth to
    maintain

    sodium potassium pumps-molecules carrying other molecules

    passive transport-no energy required (ex. diffusion)
    active transport-requires energy, allow special transport molecules through proteins (ex. exocytosis-contractile
    vacuole, phagocytosis- food particles engulfed,
    pinocytosis- tiny vacuoles form around cell)

    Plant Structure (chap 31)

    Plants are made of tissues that form organs but don not have organ systems:
    Roots:monocot, dicot; to absorb H20 & nutrients from soil, hold
           plant in place
    Stem:monocot, dicot; vascular bundles; support, tissues for
           H20 transport
    Leaves: monocot, dicot; absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
    Reproductive structures: gymnosperms(cones)
                                         angiosperms(flowers)

    Leaf structure:
    1.leaf blade-big flat surface of leaf
    2.Midrib-large vein through center
    3.Veins-smaller branching veins
    4.Xylem & Phloem-tubes within veins
    5.Petiole-stalk, connection bwtween leaf & stem
    6.Stomate-opening
    7.Upper Epidermis-top
    8.Cuticle-on top of upper epidermis, waxy layer, keeps in H20
    9.Mesophyll-middle, made of Palisade & Spongy Mesophyll
    10.Spongy Mesophyll-spread out cells
    11.Palisade layer-long, skinny cellss hanging down from upper
                      epidermis;contains most chloroplasts(photosynthesis)
    12. Lower Epidermis-bottom

    Three types of tissue:
    Meristematic-embrionic tissue (all other tissues formed from this)
                       made up of cells that rapidly divide(mitosis)
                       thin walled, smaller cells
                       tip of root(longer)& stem(taller)
    1. Protective(Epidermal)-to protect cell from bacteria/insects
                       one cell layer, tightly packed
                       secrete Cutin (forms cuticle)
    2. Vascular-xylum&phloem, conducting tissues, long tubes
    3. Fundamental(Ground)-pith

    Leaves-composed of combinations of protective, fundamental& vascular tissue.
    Roots-composed of combinationas of protective, vascular, & meristematic cells.

    Root Systems: (hold the plant in place and take in H20/minerals
       as large as the system of stems/branches
    1. Taproot- 1 larger root, some smaller (ex. carrot)
    2. Fibrous- many same size roots
    3. Adventitious- roots come out of stem

    Growth:root cap
               meristematic zone
               elongation zone
               maturation zone
    Path of water:
    1. osmosis: soil->roots
    2. diffusion: epidermis->cortex->endodermis->pericycle->xylem
    3. movement: root xylem->stem xylem-> leaf xylem (veins)

    In dicot:
    xylem-adds diameter to tree (rings), close to vascular cambium->newest cells,
       (growing conditions: spring-more H20, summer-less H20)
    phloem-squished, produced at lower rate than xylem

    Learn from cross section:
    1. weather/climate conditions
    2. age of tree
    3. how fast it grows
    4. fire-charred area
    5. insects small area of growth

    remove bark-tree died (no phloem-no food)
    Girdling-removing bark from place all around tree-tree dies

    Plant Movement
    1. Tropism-response/movement toward a stimulus
      Phototropism-in response to light
      Geotropism-gravitropism, response to gravity
       (benificial-get maximum sunlight; roots anchor, get H20/minerals)
       growth process-height/diameter
       apical meristem-top of stem (elongation)
       to bend-cells on one side elongate faster than other side
              caused by auxin(IAA)-growth hormone produced by cells exposed to light
                                               active transport carries to shaded side
                                               shaded cells elongate-plant bends
                                               most important hormone
           in roots-auxin causes elongation (in response to gravity)
              in cortex cells- starch grains-change position in cells leads to auxin
    2. Nastic (sismonastic)-touching movement w/o (independent of) the direction
                                       of the stimulus
       impulse triggers auxin-grow together \grow larger everytime it closes
       to open - auxin on inside                    /  (only couple times in life)
       ex. venus fly trap;mymosa plant-touch leaflets cause complete collapse (loss
               of turgor pressure)
      Charles Darwin 1880s experiment:
          oat seedlings(monocot) a.)control b.)tip stem cut off c.)tip stem covered
                                        grow:    to sun            straight            straight
      Fritz Vent 1920s experiment:proves that auxin (1st identified)
          oat seedlings: a. remove collioptile, place on auger cube
                                b.auxin diffuses into auger cube, place on one side of stem
                                c. auxin diffuses into stem
                                d. cells on that side elongate->bend
    3.Chemotropism- movement in response to a chemical
    4. Thigmotropism-growth that is equal because plant makes contact with solid
                               object
    The Growth Hormones(sm. concentrations;produceinmeristematic;transported)
                production controlled by genetic code/environment
                variables:many
       1. Auxin:  most important
                       IAA-indoleacetic acid
                       produced in apical meristem
                       cause elongation-taller stem, long roots(terminal region)
                       stimulates lateral root growth-marketed as rooting solution
                       inhibits lateral buds
                       kill certain plants at a certain concentrations(dicots)herbacides
                       used to stimulate growth of fruit (bypass fertilization)
       2. Gibberellins: produced meristematic
                       promote growth (similar to auxin)
                       break down endosperm(seed coat)-germination-enzymes
       3. Cytokinins: preform opposite function of auxin
                       premote cell division/growth of lateral buds
                       meristematic zone
                       inhibits growth of lateral roots
       4. Abscisic Acid: growth inhibiter
                       involved in dormancy of seeds (protection device)
                       closing stomates
                       shedding of flowers
       5. Ethylene: gas given off by ripening fruit (premotes aging)

    Genetics (CH. 12)
    Genetics: branch of biology studying heredity
    heredity: info offspring receive from parents chromosomes
                 what makes indivindual unique
    Theory of Blending Inheritance:
           pre-19th century explanation for resemblance of parent/offspring
           mother/father mixture of characteristics
    Gregor Mendel:Austrian monk, carried out experiments over time in garden,
           used garden pea, father of modern genetics, applied math to genetics,
           forced cross pollination with contrasting traits
    self-pollination:pollen from stamen to pistil on same flower, plant offespring
           inherit all characteristics of parent (indentical), stop by removing stamen.
    cross-pollination: pollen from stamen on one flower to pistil on another flower,
           plant off-spring--mix characteristics
    pure-bread plants: plants allowed to self pollinate, used by Mendel (in garden)
    traits: characteristics passed from parent to offspring

    Mendel's Experiment:
       7 characteristics- seed shape, seed color, pod color, flower position, plant
                                 height, seat coat color, pod shape
       1st experiment: cross short & tall (seeds planted-grew)
               P1= parent generation         tall X short
               F1= 1st fillial generation     tall X tall
               F2= 2nd fillial generation    tall, tall, tall, short  (3:1 ratio)
       Three Hypothesis:
    1. (Tall plants crossed w/short plants produced an F1 generation of tall plants,
       but short plants appeared again in the F2 generation.  Thus, some influence
       within plant must control height)
    ***Inherited traits are controlled by a factor (genes), which occur in pairs
    2. (The tall plants must contain a factor for their tallness, but they must
       also contain a factor for shortness since it appeared in the F2 generation)
    ***Principle of dominance and recessiveness: one factor(gene) in a pair may
       mask the other, or prevent it from having affect
    3. (A recessive gene in a hybrid is not changed by the presence of a
       dominant gene)
    ***Law of Segregation: A pair of genes is segregated of seperated

    dominance-there when present, masks recessive
    recessive-trait masked when dominatn present
    genotype- shows genes present
    phenotype- effect caused in an organism
    homozygous- paired genes are indenticle (TT) or (tt)
    heterozygous-paired genes are not identicle (Tt)
    hybrid- organism produced by crossing parents w/ different traits
    alleles- different forms of a gene (T-tall, t-short)
    gametes- type of reproductive cell
    punnet square- special chart used tp predict possible results of gene pairing
                           and probibility of each pairing
    reproduction- combinationof male and female characteristics
    sexual- combination of male and female parents
    fertilization- when sperm and egg unite
    zygote- fertilized egg
    sperm & egg- reproductive cells
    chromosomes- carries genetic information
    meiosis- how reproductive cells are produced (formation of egg and sperm)
       involves diploid cells dividing twice to form haploid cells(gametes-sperm/egg)
       gametes unite, fertilization occurs, zygote formed
    haploid- cells containing one set of chromosomes-sperm & egg
    diploid- cells containing two sets of chromosomes- somatic (body) cells
    chromosomes: in every living organism, rodlike structure, participate in meiosis
           to pass heredity, contains genes(DNA)-specific nucleotide sequence,
           matching pairs, 2 sets allow for greater diversity
    somatic cells- body cells, diploid
    homologous chromosomes- matching pairs of chromosomes
    Sexual Reproduction- 2 haploid form diploid, fertilization forms zygote,
           zygote develops into offspring-carries combined genes
    Asexual Reproduction- offspring genetically indentical to parent, new cells
           produced by mitosis(# chrom constant), diploid cell becomes 2 diploid cells
           ex. budding, bionary fission, vegatative reproduction, fragmentation
    Kariotype- chromosomes photographed and cut out, match homologous pairs,
           put on kariotype. able to determine male or female, if all chrom are there,
           pieces missing, or additional (genetic disorders)

    Meiosis I:
    Pre-Prophase- chromosomes replicate (4N cell-not visible)
    Prophase I- chromosomes shorten & become visible
                     chromosomes seek homologus pair (have same traits)
                     homologous pairs form tetrad (4)-chromatids(indiviual strand)
                     crossing over occurs-piece changes place(exchange of genetic info)
    Metaphase I- tetrads line up at center (equator)
                       centromeres attatch to spindle fibers
    Anaphase I- chromatid pairs of tetrad pulled toward opposite polls
                     centromeres intact
    Telephase I- cell divides into 2 smaller cells (daughter cells)
                      each daughter recieves homologous pair
                     daughter cells have diploid number (2N)
    Meiosis II:
    Prophase II- chromosomes still duplicated, become visible again
    Metaphase II- chromatids pair align along equator, attatch to spindle fiber
                       centromeres break apart
    Anaphase II- chromosomes seperated
                       move to opposite polls
    Telephase II- single set chromosomes in 4 daughter cells
                       gametes-haploid (N)

    genes code for same thing but not neccessarily same trait-
       located at equivalent places (locus)
    selective breeding- for better food (new crops)

    Degrees of Dominance:
    1. incomplete dominance- dominant unable to make recessive trait completely
           result->complete blending of trait (some dom., some recess., some blend)
           ex. Brown, Palamino, White horses
    2. codominance- dominant unable to maske recessice
           result-> both show up
           ex. red, roan, white haired cattle
    3. multiple alleles
           ex. A, B, AB, O blood types
    4. simple dominance- dominant always masks recessive (2 alleles)

    Human Heredity:
    1. 1890- cells observed in males/females identical except one pair
      autosomes- same in male/female (chrom 1-22); paired
       sex chromosomes- dissimilar (chrom 23); mismatched
           -same females "XX"; different males "XY"
           - 50% male or female
           - "Y" chromosome- smaller, hookshaped, carries traits for maleness
                                     - can't developed by itself ("X" can)
           - males determine sex
           - "X" carries several traits
    2. 1902- Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance-Theodore Boveri, Sutton
           -genes located on chromosomes (hypothesis)
    3. 1910- Thomas Hunt Morgan substanciated hypothesis (fruit fly experiment)
           -crossed male-white eyed female with red eyes
           - crossed F1-> got 1:2:1 ratio
           - all with recessive trait (white eyes) were male
           - male likely to show recessive(only need 1"r"because"Y"doesn't carry)
    nondisjunction- meiosis does not occur properly, causes genetic disorders,
           can affect autosomal & sex cells
    Turner Syndrome- most some disease with sex cell
           45 X, slight mental retardation, dwarfness, sterile
    Klinefelter syndrome- 47XXY, make w/female qualities, sterile
    sex-linked- color blindness, hemophylla (blood can't clot)
    sex-influenced trait- baldness Bb-men blad, women normal
    3 methods to detect genetic disorders:
       1. amniocentesis- long needle removing amniotic fluid from womb,
               contains embriotic cells
       2. chronic villi sampling- cells removed from placenta
       3. ultra sound- see image of baby, measure development & growth
     

    DNA Structure (CH.15)
    chromosomes contain 6 billion nucleotide pairs
    gene-segement of DNA that codes for a particular trait (100,000 in each chrom)

    DNA stores info:
       1. must duplicate easily
       2. polmer- chains repeating
       3. nucleotide- what makes up polmer
    Nucleotide:
       1. 5 carbon sugar (deoxiribose)
       2. a phosphate group (PO4)
       3. nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine)
    complementary halves
    Adenine & Guanine are purines
    Cytosine & Thymine are pyrimidines

    Watson& Crickcredited with identifying double helix structure

    weak hydrogen bond attatches bases
    bonding created double helix to put lots of info in small space

    DNA Synthesis (Replication):
    1. unzip DNA- seperate strands
    2. one strand serves as a templet
    3. enzyme "DNA Polymerase" causes seperation
    4. enzyme moves along to read genetic code
    5. copy which can leave nuclues is RNA (goes to Ribosome for protein synthesis)
           1. 3 letters group for particular amino acids
           2. chain of amino acids= protein
           3. protein codes for trait

    Protein Synthesis:
    1. production of mRNA (by seperation of DNA)
       1. DNA serves as a template (set of patterns)
       2. complementary RNA nucleotides assemble
           (don't copy entire structure-start and stop codens in base sequence)
       3. transcription(make copy of DNA in nucleus)
    2. mRNA goes to ribosomes
       1. translation-interpreting code to produce chain of Amino Acids
       2. codons-groups of three letters, code for Amino Acids (20)
    3. tRNA-anticodon sequence tells tRNA which amino acid needed fromcytoplasm
       1.moves through cytoplasm-finds amino acid-conds-brings back
    ex. DNA:    CCT            GCT            TGT            GTG            GAA
       mRNA:  GGA            CGA            ACA            CAC             CUU
        tRNA:   CCU            GCU            TCT            GTG             GAA
       amino   glycine        arginine      threonine   histidine      leucine

    Genetic Engineering:
    Luther Burbank-research with plants, 250 plant varieties, made people aware
    selective breeding-been around for a long time, get rid of bad characteristics,
           perpetuate good, not guarenteed to get traits (recessive), inbreeding
           occurs, lose trait from gene pool, undesirable traits show up, takes long
           time, useful but slow and chancy.
    hybridization- perpetuate good characteristics, takes 2 related species to
           produce new type, needs to be a seen trait (mutations favorable)->
           trait mutigenisis
           ex. seedless orange, hairless mice
    Biotechnology: developed to speed up, reduce problems & change uses of
           genetic engineering, differ-> direct altering of genetic code, takes DNA
           strand, cut & splice in new, to rewrite-> restrictive enzymes are proteins
           that cut DNA at specific places, new piece glued in w/ DNA ligese
      recombinant DNA- strand that has new genes inserted in
       plasmid-sections of bacteria to get DNA in cell, often used as a vector to
               transefer new DNA
      transgenic- genetically altered (have recombinant DNA)
      1980s- scientists successful in bacteria, plants, animals
    Transgenic bacteria:
       ex. insulin, human growth hormone, eats oil, protect plant from frost,
           protect roors, cleans air, vaccine
    Transgenic plants:
       ex. 50 different- soy, rice, alfalfa, corn
       ex. plants tolerant to heat & cold, resist salt content in soil, more nutritious,
           less fertilizer, produce chemicals of intrest to humans, glowing plants
    Transgenic animals:
       moral rights issues-gene farming
       foreign genes infected into egg before fertilization
       ex. larger fish, cows-milk with human protein, pigs, rabbits, sheep
       reasons- cures for many dieases
       goals: early intervention/ prevention of genetic diseases

    Human Genome Project:
       goals- 1. map human chromosomes (genes, traits lie)
                 2. determines 3 billion bases in human genome

    Koch's Postulates:set procedure to identify what bacteria causes disease
      -Robert Koch-> 1st to say bacteria causes disease
       1. The suspected disease causing organism should always be found in animals
           with the disease.
       2. The organism must be isolated and grown in pure culture.
       3. Organisms from pure culture placed in healthy animal must cause disease
       4. Organism must be isolated and grown again and be the same organism.
    Germ Theory->Louis Pasteur
       1. harm body by being so numerous they interfere w/normal function
       2. distroy body cells & tissues
       3. produce poisons
    pathogens-> harmful bacteria
    To control:
       1. Sir Alexander Fleming-developed Penicillin(antibiotic)->derivitive of mold

    Time Line:
    1. 1884: Louis Pasteur-suggest something smaller than bacteria to cause
               disease (used virus to describe)
    2. 1892: Ivanowsky- set up filter so no bacteria sould pass through, but
               something did (virus)
    3. 1935- Wendle Stanley- chemically isolate tobacco mosaic virus (elec. micro)
    4. 1950s- field of virology takes off
            Saulk-vaccine for Pollio

    Lytic Cycle:
    1. attatchment stage- attatch by using tail fibers, capsid combines with receptor
    2. penetration- viral DNA enters host
    3. biosynthesis- viral components synthesized (made)
    4. maturation- assemble viral components (virons), release enzyme to break
                           cell wall
    5. release- cell wall bursts & new viruses leave host cell

    Lysogenic Cycle:
    1. attatchment- same
    2. penetration- same
    3. integration- virus' DNA splices into host cell DNA and are passed on when
                           bacteria reproduce (over years)
    4. Biosynthesis- something triggers viral parts to synthesize (make take yrs)
    5. maturation- same
    6. release- same

    zoology-branch of study of animals

    In Order to Survive an animal must:
    1. feed
    2. respire (take in & exchange gases w/surrounding environments)
    3. circulate oxygen & nutrients
    4. eliminate waste
    5. respond to environmental conditions
    6. reproduce
    7. move from one place to another

    2 main groups: Invertebrates-no backbones
                          Vertebrates- backbones

    Symmetry: produce = portions when cutting
    1. asymmetrical-no way to cut to produce equal halves
    2. spherical-volvox, sphere shaped organism; many ways to cut equally
    3. radial- starfish, hydra
    4. bilateral- organism will vary from top to bottom
               a. dorsal-upper side or back of animal
               b. ventral- lower side or belly
               c. anterior end (postion)-front or head end
               d. posterior end (position)- rear or tail end

    Animal:a multi-cellular organism that must obtain food from their environment. Most have nervous/muscular systems that
    allow them to move.  Must reproduce
    sexually.  Some of the simpler forms also reproduce asexually.  In some animals, the young have the basic features of
    the adult.  But in others, the young are
    different from the adult.  In these cases, the young are known as larve, which undergo a series of developmental
    changes that produce the adult form.

    Sponge: cellular layer of organization-simplest  multicellular animal
    1. spicules-skeletal structure, gives shape, made of CaCO3, silica, spongen
       classified by spicule make-up, amoeboid cells make spicules
    2. amoeboid cells-digest & transport nutrients, produce sex cells, middle layer
    3. epidermal cells-flat, irregularly shaped, thin, protection, has pores
    4. pores- water enters sponge
    5. collar cells- have flagellum, stirs H20 to eliminate water, collect food part.
    6. sessile filter feeder- attatched to bottom, filters out food
    7. osculum- water exit through hole in top, gets rid of waste.
    8. diffusion allows water to all layers
    9. reproduction-sexual & asexual
           sexual-collar cells change into gametes, exit through osculum, sperm
               through pore of another spong & find egg, develops into free-swimming
               larve
           asexual-budding(group of cells divide rapidly, break off)
    10. regeneration-cut & put back in water (develop into whole)
    11. all aquatic(both fresh &a
