• Homeostasis is an organism’s ability to regulate
its internal environment.
• Example:
– When your temperature goes up, you sweat to cool
yourself off. When you get cold, you shiver to warm
up.
• Importance:
– Without being able to respond to changes in its
internal environment, an organism would die.

molecules into the cell by engulfing the molecule.
• Exocytosis – Active transport that sends
molecules out of the cell.

• On board…
17
• A.) pH changes
• Can change the shape of the enzyme, resulting in it not
functioning.
• B.) Temperature changes
• Cold: molecules move slower, so are less likely to encounter
enzymes.
• Hot: changes shape of enzyme
• General rule: as the environment gets warmer, enzymes
work faster. HOWEVER, too hot = denatured enzyme.
• “Denature”:
– Means: “Change the shape of an enzyme.”
18
• Water has a slightly positive and slightly
negative end.
– due to the unequal pull on the electrons by the
molecules.
– Oxygen is “stronger” than hydrogen, so it can pull
on the electron in the bond more.
– The electron is closer to the oxygen, so oxygen
becomes negative and hydrogen becomes
positive.
19
• Your cells and the cells of all other organisms
are made mostly of water.
• Water gives cells structure and transports
substances within the organism.
• All cell processes take place in a watery
environment.
20
• Homogeneous solution:
– a mixture where the components that make up the
mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the
mixture.
– Ex: blood, air, sugar water
• Heterogeneous solution:
– a mixture where the components of the mixture are
not uniform or have localized regions with different
properties.
– Ex: oil and water, soup, muddy water

• Fermentation is a process that occurs when
there is not enough oxygen to run steps 2
(Krebs cycle)and 3 (Electron transport chain)
of cell respiration.
• It happens in the cytoplasm.
11
• The glucose is broken in half during step 1 of
cell respiration (glycolysis) to form two
pyruvate molecules.
• The pyruvate is changed into lactic acid, which
allows glycolysis to happen again.
• You feel the lactic acid build up as a burning
sensation in your muscles.

• Binary fission is an asexual method of
reproduction that occurs in bacteria. It is very
similar to mitosis:
– 1.) The bacterial DNA is copied.
– 2.) The copied DNA moves to opposite sides of
the cell.
– 3.) The cell splits in half forming two identical
cells.
25
• Decomposers return nutrients into the soil
(and atmosphere in the case of carbon (CO2)
allowing the cycle to continue.
26
• Viruses are considered non-living because:
– 1.) They cannot reproduce on their own. (They
need a host).
– 2.) They are not made of cells.
– They are essentially a bag made of protein with DNA or RNA in
the bag.
27
This is a
BACTERIOPHAGE.
(A virus that infects bacteria)
Pay special attention to the CAPSID and the
DNA. These are the two most important
parts for you to know!!!
28
• In the lytic cycle, the
virus:
– 1.) completely takes over
the cell
– 2.) uses the cell’s
organelles to make new
viruses
– 3.) causes the cell to
explode, releasing the
new viruses.
These are very fastacting viruses.
• In the lysogenic cycle,
the virus:
– 1.) hides its DNA in the
host cell DNA.
– 2.) reproduces only as
fast as the host cell goes
through mitosis.
– 3.) may lie hidden for
years before the person
shows any symptoms.
These tend to be
slow-acting viruses.
29
• A very basic explanation:
– 1.) The virus enters the host cell.
– 2.) The virus is copied within the cell.
• Either by
– taking over the cell (lytic cycle) or
– by being copied as the host cell divides (lysogenic cycle)
– 3.) The new viruses leave the cell to infect other
cells.

• Interphase
&
Cell Division
2
• G1 = cell grows and carries out its normal job.
• S phase = DNA is copied (replicated/duplicated)
• G2 = Cell prepares for division
3
• During mitosis, the nuclear membrane breaks
down and the copied chromosomes are
separated to either side of the cell. (this is
mitosis)
• Then , the cell divides. (This is cytokinesis)
4
• The cytoplasm of the cell divides, cutting the
cell in half.
• In animals, the cell pinches in half.
• In plants, the cell builds a new cell wall in the
middle of the cell. The new cell wall is called a
cell plate.

Phase
Description
Prophase
DNA condenses to form chromosomes. Nuclear envelope breaks
down.
Metaphase
Copied chromosomes line up at the center (equator) of the cell.
Anaphase
Copied chromosomes (sister chromatids) split apart and begin
moving to the poles of the cell.
Telophase
The exact opposite of prophase. DNA unwinds and the new
nuclear envelopes reform.
7
• Mitosis is for growth and repair.
• Meiosis is for production of gametes
8
• Haploid = a cell with half the normal number
of chromosomes. These cells are usually
gametes.
• Diploid = a cell with a full set of chromosomes.
These cells are usually somatic cells.
9
Asexual & Sexual
Similarities
•Both are types of reproduction
•Both involve the production of new cells
Differences
•Asexual produced identical cells.
•Sexual produces different cells.
•Asexual is an advantage when the environment is stable.
•Sexual is an advantage when the environment is changing.
10
• Mitosis is asexual because the daughter cells
are identical to the parent cell.
11
• Meiosis is sexual because the daughter cells
are different from the parent cells.

• DNA is a double helix (“twisted ladder”.)
21
• Watson and Crick
22
• During DNA replication, a copy of the DNA is
made.
– Each new copy is made of one original strand and
one new strand.
• This is called semi-conservative replication.
22 continued…
23
• 1.) The DNA separates (due to enzymes)
• 2.) The two strands are copied.

• Messenger RNA = C
• Transfer RNA = A
• Ribosomal RNA = B
28
• During transcription, mRNA is made from a
section of DNA.
• It happens in the nucleus
– WHY???
29
• During translation, a protein is made by the
ribosome.
– The ribosome reads the mRNA message and
makes the protein.
• This happens at a ribosome (either in the
cytoplasm or attached to the E.R.).
30
• codon
31
• 20 different amino acids are possible
32
• Proteins:
– Build muscles and bones
– Provide ways for cells to communicate with other
cells.
– Serve as enzymes
– Function as antibodies
– Serve as channels for substances to enter the cell
• Facilitated diffusion (a type of passive transport)
– Serve as pumps to move things in and out of the cell
(Active transport)
33
• Missense = one codon is changed, resulting in
a different amino acid being
produced. (GUA  GGA)
• Nonsense = a change in a codon causes a stop
codon to be produced. (CGA  UGA)
• Insertion = an extra base is added to the DNA
sequence.
• Deletion = a base is deleted from the DNA
sequence.
• Duplication = an copy of a sequence of DNA is
added to the same DNA strand.
34
• Point mutations only affect one codon.
• Frameshift mutation affect all codons in the
DNA strand after the mutation.
• Remember: THE FAT CAT WAS MAD.
35
• Mendel was the first person to scientifically
study inheritance.
• He is considered the “Father of Genetics”.
36
• He studied pea plants.
• Why:
– 1.) They reproduce sexually by self-pollination.
– This allowed Mendel to control what traits he was testing for.
– 2.) They were easy to grow, easy to maintain and
were easy to obtain.

• Law of Segregation:
– Alleles separate during gamete formation.
• Law of Independent Assortment:
– Essentially…just because you are dominant for
one trait does not mean you will be dominant for
all other traits, too.
47
• Female = XX
• Male = XY
48
• Incomplete dominance is an inheritance
pattern where two dominant phenotypes
blend together to produce a new phenotype.
• Example: Red flowers + Yellow flowers =
Orange flowers
Orange is a NEW phenotype (it’s not red and it’s not
yellow…it’s orange.)
49
• Codominance is where two dominant
phenotypes combine to produce a striped or
spotted heterozygous phenotype.
• Examples: Chic-fil-A cows.
50
• Sex linked traits are traits carried on the X
chromosome.
• Examples:
– Hemophilia;
– green vs blue eye color;
– some muscular dystrophies;
– colorblindness
51
• A polygenic trait is a trait controlled by more
than one gene.
– It allows for a lot of variance in the phenotype.
• Example: Human skin color; Human height
52
• A mutation is any change in an organism’s
DNA.
• 4 Causes:
– UV radiation
– X-rays
– Viruses
– Certain chemicals

16
• Only 10% of the energy at any trophic level
can passed to another organism.
• The other 90% is lost as heat.
17
• Results will vary…
18a
• Carbon is taken in by plants to produce glucose
in a process called photosynthesis. The glucose
molecule is then broken down for energy by
heterotrophs during a process called cellular
Respiration, in which CO₂ is released to be taken
in by plants again. Carbon is also put into the
atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels.
Decomposers release carbon back into the
ecosystem by breaking down dead organisms
whose cells contain carbon.
18b - Nitrogen
• Nitrogen gas makes up about 68% of our
atmosphere, but it is not useable in this form.
Bacteria perform a process called Nitrogen
fixation which is a process that “fixs” nitorgen
into a useable form for organisms. This entire
process requires BACTERIA.
18c - Phosphorus
• Phosphorus is put into the soil and used by
plants by the eroding of rock materials. The
process is the SLOWEST of all the nutrient
cycles, because it takes so long for rocks to be
eroded by water.

19
• Nutrients need to be transferred
among members of a food web.
• In order for the nutrients to be
returned to the soil for producers
to use again, the decomposers
must recycle the nutrients.
20. Ecological Succession
• After a disaster such as lava flow,
tornado, flooding, fire or receding of
a glacier, the ecosystem must be
rebuilt. The process of re-growth
happens in a logical order called
succession.
21.
• Both end in a mature ecosystem called a
climax community. The main difference is how
they begin. Primary starts on bare land, often
after a volcanic eruption or receding of a
glacier. There is no soil in Primary succession
and thus a pioneer species must come first.
Often this pioneer species is lichens that can
grow on rock. Secondary succession occurs
when soil is left such as after a farm has been
abandoned or a tornado.

• Pioneer species are the first organisms to
inhabit an area. They prepare the
environment for other species to grow.
• Lichen = primary successions
• Grass = secondary succession

• The final most mature ecosystem
that results at the end of either
primary or secondary succession.

• Logistic growth slows down as
resources run out and the population
reaches carrying capacity.

that a certain area can support due to limited
resources.

• Animals die; layers of silt deposit over them;
the pressure from the silt helps to form fossils
over time.
5
• Evolution is the change in organisms over
time.
6
• Population genetics: The study of the genetic
sequences in a population.
• Adaptations: Any characteristic that aids an organism in
survival and/or reproduction.
• Speciation: the evolution of new species
• Fitness – the likelihood that an organism will survive and
reproduce in its environment.
• Phylogeny: The evolutionary history of a species.
7
• A.) Lyell gave Darwin the evidence that natural
processes that occurred in the past could still be
occurring today.
• B.) Malthus made observations about how
limited resources lead to struggles for survival.
Darwin applied this to all organisms.
• C.) Wallace and Darwin were both studying
evolution at the same time.
8
• Lamarck believed that organisms could
acquire characteristics during their lifetimes
and pass those characteristics on to their
offspring.
• He was wrong.
9
• He was wrong.
• While organisms can aquire characteristics
during their lifetimes through use and disuse,
they cannot pass these characteristics on to
their offspring.
10
• Darwin stated that organisms born with
characteristics that make them more likely to
survive and reproduce (i.e., more fit) will
survive and reproduce more than those who
lack the characteristic.
• Future generations will look like the survivors.
11
• He went all around the world.
• He saw varieties of different organisms in
similar ecosystems.
• He collected specimen for analysis and
comparision.
12
• He noticed:
– 1.) Organisms produce more offspring than can possibly survive.
– 2.) Members of populations have natural differences in
phenotypes.
– 3.) He hypothesized that organisms with adaptations that make
them more likely to survive and reproduce in an environment
will survive and pass those traits on to their offspring.
– 4.) He concluded that the future generations will be made of the
offspring of the most fit organisms, and therefore exhibit those
traits.
13.)
• Geographic isolation.
14
• A.) this is where related organisms develop different
traits due to living in different ecosystems.
• Ex: Horses and Tapirs; elephants and manatees.
• B.) this is where two unrelated organisms develop
similar adaptations due to living in a similar ecosystem.
– Ex: sharks and dolphins look similar.
• C.) This is when the evolution of one species drives the
evolution of another species.
– Example: lions and zebras.
15
• A.) This shows how ancient life looked and allows us to determine
the age of organisms.
• B.) This shows relatedness among organisms due to similar body
structures.
• C.) this shows how organisms have changed over time.
• D.) This allows scientists to compare living organisms to determine
relatedness.
• E.) Organisms on the same continent tent to be more closely
related to each other than to organisms on other continents.
16
• It is a measure of how able an organism is at
surviving and reproducing in its environment.
17
• This allows them to blend in, hide and ambush
prey.
