DAY 3: TRANSPORT AND BIOENERGETIC
REACTIONS
Cell membranes and Transport
Cell membrane
 The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves
the cell and also provides protection and support
 The cell membrane is made up of two layers of lipid,
which is why it is called a lipid bilayer
 This lipid bilayer gives the membrane a flexible
structure, but also makes it a strong barrier
Cell Membrane
 The lipid bilayer contains
phospholipid molecules
with phosphate, a polar
head, and nonpolar tails
 The polar heads are
hydrophilic or “water
loving” and the nonpolar
tails are hydrophobic or
“water hating”
Cell membranes
 Proteins can also be found embedded in the
membrane
 These proteins can act as receptor proteins that
receive messages from signal molecules, however,
they can also act as channels and pumps that help
move material across the cell membrane
Cell membranes
Cell Membranes
 The channels can open and close to allow material
to pass in and out of the cell
 The pumps can pump ions or small charged
molecules across the membrane
Cell membranes
 If a substance can diffuse across the membrane, the
membrane is permeable to it
 Most biological membranes are “selectively
permeable” or some substances can pass across the
membrane and some cannot
Cell Membrane
Transport
 There are two main types of transport:
Passive-Does NOT require energy
2. Active-Does require energy
1.
Passive Transport
 There are three important examples of passive
transport:
1. Diffusion
2. Osmosis
3. Facilitated diffusion
Passive Transport
 Diffusion is the process by which a substance moves
from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration
 (Concentration = how much stuff is in a given
amount of liquid)
Passive Transport
 Going from high
concentration to low
concentration can also be
called going down their
concentration gradient
 Diffusion does not
require energy, because
it is an example of
passive transport
Diffusion
Diffusion
Equilibrium
 Equilibrium-the concentration of the dissolved
substance is the same throughout the system
Osmosis
 The diffusion of water
through a selectively
permeable membrane is
called osmosis
Osmosis
 The particles cannot get
through the membrane
 To reach equilibrium, the
water must move the
right
Osmosis
Passive Transport
 Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of substances
across a membrane that requires the help of protein
channels
 Facilitated diffusion, just like regular diffusion, does
not need energy
Passive Transport
Active Transport
 Active transport moves materials against their
concentration gradient, or from low concentration
to high concentration
 Active transport often
uses protein pumps
Transport
Transport
Types of solutions
 There are 3 types of solutions:
Hypotonic
2. Isotonic
3. Hypertonic
1.
Hypotonic
1. Hypotonic = “below
strength”
 A cell in a hypotonic
solution will swell and
burst
 High concentration of
solute inside the cell
causes the water to move
inside the cell
Isotonic
2. Isotonic = “same
strength”
 Solute concentration is
equal inside and outside
of the cell
 Movement of water
inside = movement of
water outside, so cell size
stays the same
Hypertonic
3. Hypertonic= “above
strength”
 A cell in a hypertonic
solution will shrink
 High concentration of
solute outside the cell
causes the water to move
outside the cell

ATP and Photosynthesis
Notes
(Bioenergetic Reactions)
ATP
 Sunlight is the main energy source for life on Earth
 When food is broken down, energy is released as
heat and energy is stored as ATP
ATP
 ATP: the basic energy source
 Adenosine triphosphate = (ATP)
 Energy is stored in ATP. Cells start with ADP
(adenosine diphosphate) and a phosphate is added
to produce ATP.
 ATP is like a fully charged battery.
 ADP + P = ATP
ATP
 How is energy stored in ATP released?
It’s a must the bond between the 2nd and 3rd
phosphates causes energy to be released.
 ATP – P = ADP
ATP
 What does the energy released from the breaking
of this bond do?
 ATP has enough energy to power a variety of
cellular activities such as:
1. transport across the cell membrane
2. Protein formation
3. Muscle contraction
ATP
 Energy flows throughout the living world and is
temporarily stored in organisms as ATP
 ATP can even be called “energy currency” as
energy from ATP powers metabolism
Photosynthesis
 Many autotrophs
(plants and some
protists) get their
energy for metabolism
through photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the
process by which light
energy is converted to
chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
 Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and the
sunlight required for the reaction is absorbed by
the chloroplast pigment chlorophyll.
Photosynthesis
 Eq: carbon dioxide + water Light energy
 Eq: CO2
+ H2O

carbohydrates (sugars) + oxygen
C6H12O6 (glucose) +
O2
Photosynthesis
 Photosynthesis releases oxygen gas into the air for
us to breath and takes out carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis
 Photosynthesis can be dependent on temperature.
Low temperatures may cause photosynthesis to
occur more slowly
Photosynthesis
 The majority of the
weight in trees comes
from carbon.
Specifically this carbon
comes from taking in
carbon dioxide during
photosynthesis.

Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration
 Cellular respiration-the process that releases energy
by breaking down glucose and other food molecules
in the presence of oxygen
Cellular Respiration
 Cellular respiration has 3 stages:
1. Glycolysis
 Occurs in the cytoplasm
2. Kreb’s Cycle
 Occurs in the mitochondria
3. Electron Transport Chain
 Occurs in the mitochondria
Cellular Respiration
 Eq: oxygen + glucosecarbon dioxide + water +
energy

O2 + C6H12O6
CO2
+ H2O + ATP

 The presence of oxygen determines what follows
glycolysis. When oxygen is present, the Kreb’s Cycle
and ETC occurs-this is called aerobic respiration.
When oxygen is not present, fermentation occursthis is called anaerobic respiration.

Cellular Respiration
 Oxygen=aerobic respiration=Glycolysis + Kreb’s

 No Oxygen= anaerobic respiration = Glycolysis +
Fermentation = less ATP
Cellular Respiration
 The word aerobic means “in air”, therefore anaerobic
means “without air”
Cellular Respiration
 Fermentation-the process of breaking down organic
compounds without oxygen.
 The two main types of fermentation are lactic acid
and alcoholic fermentation.
Cellular Respiration
 Cells produce ATP most effectively and efficiently
with oxygen, therefore more ATP is produced in
aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration.

DAY 4: GENETICS
 The cell cycle is the sequence of stages through
which a cell passes between one cell division to the
next.
 Cell cycle:
 1. G1-first growth
 2. S-DNA replication
 3. G2-second growth, prepares for mitsois
 4. M-mitosis
 5. C-cytokinesis
 1. Chromosomes line up on spindles in the center of a
cell during

D. metaphase
 2. When preparing for cell division, the chromatin
condenses and becomes a




A. gene
B. chromosome
C. protein
D. codon
 3. Mitosis generates
 A. daughter cells identical to the mother cell
 B. many reproductive cells
 C. diseased cells
 D. gametes
 Most of the cell cycle is spent in interphase = G1, S,
G2
 S phaseDNA replication occurs
 Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction. Mitosis
includes one division that produces two cells that
identical to one another and to the parent. There is
no crossing over and no variation created because
the cells are identical. Mitosis includes four phases:
 Prophase-chromosomes become visible and the
spindle forms
 Metaphase-chromosomes move to the center of the
cell and line up along the equator
 Anaphase-centromeres divide and the two
chromatids move to opposite poles attached to
spindle fibers
 Telophase-nuclear envelope forms around the
chromosomes at each pole, the chromosomes uncoil,
and the spindle dissolves
 Meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction. Meiosis
includes two divisions that produce four cells that
are different from one another and to the parent.
There is crossing over and variation created because
the cells are different. Meiosis includes eight phases:
 1. What process of reproduction brings with it the
greatest potential for genetic variability?

visible and the spindle forms
Metaphase I-chromosomes move to the center of the cell
and line up along the equator
Anaphase I-centromeres divide and the two chromatids
move to opposite poles attached to spindle fibers
Telophase I-nuclear envelope forms around the
chromosomes at each pole, the chromosomes uncoil, and
the spindle dissolves
Prophase II 6. Metaphse II 7. Anaphse II 8. Telophase
II
 Meiosis produces the gametessperm and egg. The
sperm and egg are haploid, which means they
contain half the number of chromosomes. When
sperm are formed all 4 cells form sperm. When eggs
are formed 1 cell becomes an egg and 3 become polar
bodies. Mitosis produces the body cells, which are
diploid, which means they have a full set of
chromosomes. All body cells besides the egg and
sperm are called somatic cells.
 Haploid-half the number of chromosomes
 Diploid-full set of chromosomes
 Before chromosomes form, the DNA is in long
strands known as chromatin
 The spindle fibers are the hairs that pull the
chromosomes apart. These spindle fibers are made
by organelles called centrioles. Chromosomes (DNA
wrapped in proteins) are made up of two identical
sister chromatids. These chromatids are held
together at the center by the centromere.
 Cytokinesis, or the division of cytoplasm, follows
mitosis to split the cells in half. Cytokinesis in
animals occurs by pinching the cytoplasm, while
cytokinesis in plants occurs by forming a cell plate
between the two nuclei. This cells plate will later
become the cell wall.

DAY 5: GENETICS/DNA
 Humans have 46 chromosomes. Sperm and egg cells
have 23 chromosomes. Sperm + egg = fertilizationwhich forms a zygote.
 A karyotype is a picture of your chromosomes and
they can sometimes show chromosome
abnormalities and the sex of the individual. XY =
male and XX = female
 A pedigree is a diagram the shows the inheritance of
traits in a family. If a pedigree shows mostly males
with a certain trait, that trait is most likely sexlinked. Examples of sex-linked traits include
hemophilia and colorblindness. Individuals that
carry a trait and can pass it on to their offspring, but
do not have any symptoms of the disease (they are
physically normal) are called carriers.

 DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It is double stranded,
contains the sugar deoxyribose, and has the bases
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.
 DNA has a double helix, or twisted ladder shape and
it is made up nucleotides. Each nucleotide is made
up of three things:
1. Phosphate 2. Sugar 3. Nitrogen base
 The phosphate and sugar make up the backbone or
rail of the nucleic acid ladder and the nitrogen bases
provide the steps of the ladder. The nitrogen bases
also provide the code for proteins.
 DNA replication = copying the DNA. DNA
replication is semi-conservative. Each molecule of
DNA contains one new strand and one old strand.
 RNA is ribonucleic acid. RNA is used to translate
the code from the DNA molecule into protein. It is
single stranded, contains the sugar ribose, and has
the bases A, G, C, and U.
 There are 3 types of RNA:
 Messenger RNA-carries information from nucleus to
ribosome-made by RNA polymerase
 Ribosomal RNA-makes up the ribosome
 Transfer RNA-contains anticodon-brings amino
acids to ribosome to assemble the protein
 The flow of information in genetics is as follows:
DNARNAProteins
 DNARNA is transcription and RNAProteins is
translation. Translation occurs as the ribosome
reads three-letter codes called codons. These codons
code for specific amino acids that link up to form a
protein.
 When DNA is copied in a process called DNA
replication, a complimentary strand must be made,
and this is done by matching A (adenine) with T
(thymine) and C (cytosine) with G (guanine). These
nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
DNA replication must occur before the cell divides.
So the DNA strand the matches: AGTAC is TCATG
and the strand that matches TTAAGGCC is
AATTCCGG.
 However, if we are transcribing from DNA to RNA,
we must replace T with U. Therefore, the RNA that
matches the DNA strand ATTGCAG is UAACGUC.

 A mutation is a change in a genetic sequence.
Mutation can occur as insertions, deletions, or
inversions. Whole pieces of DNA can be added or
subtracted, and when this happens the protein
sequence changes as well, which leads to a
malfunctioning protein and sometimes disease.
 Insertion AGCTTC  AGCAAAATTC (+AAAA)

DAY 6: EVOLUTION AND CLASSIFICATION
 Darwin-came up with theory of natural selection-
mechanism of evolution-1859 published On the
Origin of Species
 Jean Baptiste Lamarck, believed that physical
features increased in size because of use or decreased
in size because of disuse. His theories suggested that
the organism’s life determined what traits got passed
onto offspring.
 A heavy influence on Darwin’s theories was the book
Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell, which
explained that the surface of the Earth changed
slowly over many years. Another influence was the
work of Thomas Malthus, who wrote that human
populations can increase faster than the food supply.
 Populations breed rapidlyBut populations don’t
grow uncheckedMost organisms in a population
die without breeding
 EVOLUTION-the process by which modern
organisms have descended from ancient organisms.
 EVOLUTION-the change in the gene pool over time
 FITNESS-the physical traits and behaviors that
enable organisms to survive and reproduce in their
environment
 COMMON DESCENT-all species have common
ancestors
 ADAPTATION-process that enables organisms to
become better suited to their environments
 Adaptation TAKE PLACE OVER LONG PERIODS
OF TIME!!! (EX: Darwin’s Finches)Only surviving
(well adapted) organisms pass on their traits.
 1. The capsid coating on a virus serves to
 A. identify the capsid of another virus to breed
 B. identify a receptor site on a prospective host cell
 C. identify necessary food items in the host cell
 D. assist in locomotion of the virus in the host cell
 2. Ideas about evolution
 A. have already been thought
 B. are perfect and need no refinement
 C. may change based on new data
 D. only involve animals
 The process by which new species form is called
speciation. Geographic isolation plays a large role in
speciation. Each environment is different with
different pressures and challenges.
 organisms to adapt and change in response to their
specific environment. If these populations become
different enough they may even form separate
species-which cannot interbreed.
 ARTIFICIAL SELECTION-Humans make sure that
only individuals with more desirable traits produce
offspring
 NATURAL SELECTION-The process in nature
where the most fit organisms produce more offspring
 NS: If variation of a trait within a population has a
genetic basis, and some variants have greater
survival and reproduction, then, over time, the
favored trait will predominate in the population.
 Survival of the Fittest-Individuals whose traits are
well suited to the environment survive and
reproduce. Those who aren’t suited, die!!! (or leave
fewer offspring)
 On what does natural selection operate? Phenotypic
variation
 What is the cause of phenotypic variation? GENETIC
MUTATIONS and CROSSING OVER
 Gene pool-a common group of genes shared by a
population
 1. If two organisms evolve in response to each other,
which evolutionary pattern is demonstrated?




A. natural selection
B. gradualistic method
C. co-evolution
D. adaptive radiation
 2. Natural selection states that individuals
 A. with adaptive traits are more likely to survive
 B. on the bottom level of a hierarchy have the greatest
reproductive success
 C. demonstrating altruistic behavior are the ones with the most
mutations
 D. remain unchanged over a period of time
 What happens if two species share the same niche
for too long? Extinction or Evolution
 Divergent Evolution-(aka Adaptive Radiation)
different species diverge from a common ancestor
 CONVERGENT EVOLUTION-creation of organisms
that are similar in appearance and behavior (bats,
birds, butterflies)
 Relative Dating—lower levels of rock are older than
higher levels (not exact)
 Absolute Dating—the actual age of a sample using
radiometric dating
 According to scientists, the earth is about 4.5 billion
years old.
 Fossil Record- represents the preserved collective
history of the earth’s organisms.
 Present-Day Evidence for Evolution:
 DNA Similarity
 Biogeography
 Homologous Structures
 Vestigial Structures
 Embryos
 Biogeography-The study of patterns of geographical
distribution of plants and animals across Earth, and
the changes in those distributions over time
 Homologous structures-parts in different organisms
that develop from the same ancestral body part
 Ex: wing of a bat and the flipper of a whale
 Vestigial structures- structures that have little or no
purpose in the present, but did in the past
