hierarchical organization of organisms
from atoms to molecules and cells to
tissues to organs to organ systems to
organisms.
SC.6.L.14.2
Investigate and explain the
components of the scientific theory of
cells (cell theory): all organisms are
composed of cells (single-celled or

STAYING ALIVE
Homeostasis
 In order for cells to function
properly, conditions inside
the cell must maintain
constant even if outside
factors change.
 Cells must keep the proper
concentration of nutrients
and water and eliminate
wastes.
 The plasma membrane is
selectively permeable.

It will allow some things to
pass through while blocking
other things.
Homeostasis
CELL MEMBRANE
 The cell membrane
allows certain things to
enter and leave a cell.
 Its function is to keep
certain items outside the
cell and certain items
inside the cell.
 It is able to do this
because it is
semipermeable.
CONTROL OF MATERIALS IN & OUT
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
 Movement of substances through the cell
membrane without the use of cellular energy
 EXAMPLES:

CONTROL OF MATERIALS IN & OUT
DIFFUSION
 Molecules move from a
crowded area to a less
crowded area.
 Diffusion occurs with
gasses and liquids.
 When molecules are evenly
spread out, equilibrium has
been reached.
 Molecules never stop
moving; they continue to
move but maintain
equilibrium.

TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE
CHEMICAL ENERGY
 Without energy, cells
cannot perform their
designated function.
 Cells take chemical
energy stored in foods.
 Total of all chemical
reactions in an
organism =
Metabolism
LIVING THINGS
 Producers:
 Organisms that make their
own food by the process of
photosynthesis
 Consumers:
 Organisms that cannot
make their own food but
instead rely on producers
and other consumers
TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE
RELEASING ENERGY
FOR LIFE
 Cells must break down
food molecules and
release the energy.

Respiration
 Glucose is the food that
is mostly broken down.
 Mitochondria, an
organelle in the cell,
breaks down food for
energy.
TRAPPING ENERGY FOR LIFE
RESPIRATION
 The process by which cells
break down food sources
such as glucose, fats, and
protein and release their
stored energy
 Two main types

KNOWLEDGE CHECK
1. What is the difference between a producer
and a consumer? Producers can make their
own foods through the process of
photosynthesis. Consumers cannot make their
own food and must rely on eating other
producers/consumers for energy.
2. What is the chemical process of breaking
down food and releasing energy? Respiration
3. What is a by-product of anaerobic
respiration? Lactic acid (fermentation)
REPRODUCING
 As living things become older,
they usually become larger in
size.
 Cells themselves do not grow
bigger in size; instead, they
multiply on large numbers.
 In order for survival, cells must
be able to reproduce
themselves, quickly and easily.
 The process of cell
division is known as
MITOSIS.
• Process in which the
nucleus of the cell
divides and the
formation of two
daughter cells occur
Mitosis
 Interphase
Normal functions
 Upon trigger, chromosomes &
centrioles duplicate.
 Prophase
 Early: nuclear envelope
degrades; chromosomes start to
condense.
 Late: chromosomes thicken;
spindle forms between
centrioles.
 Metaphase
 Spindle fibers attach to
kinetochores.
 Chromosomes line up at cell
equator.


Mitosis
 Anaphase
Chromatids separate at
centromeres.
 Chromosomes move to poles.
 Telophase
 Nuclear envelope reforms in
each of two daughter cells.
 Cytokinesis separates two
new cells.
 Interphase
 Daughter cells are genetically
identical to each other and
the parent cell but smaller.

Nervous System Summary
 The brain and the spinal
cord make up the central
nervous system.
 Your brain controls
everything you do –
whether you think about
doing it (like drawing a
picture), or not (like
breathing and blinking).
 The brain is the body’s
information gatherer,
storage center, and control
center.
 The main function of the
nervous system is to collect
information on how the
body is doing, what it
needs, and sends a
response to meet those
needs.
 The nervous system uses
electronic impulses which
travel along the length of
cells. These impulses
travel up to 250 miles per
hour!
Skeletal System Summary
 Your bones give your  Babies are born with 270
body shape.
 Your skeleton allows you
to move with the help of
your muscles.
 Your rib cage protects
important internal
organs.
soft bones that fuse
together by age 25 into
206 hard permanent
bones.
 Some bones produce red
blood cells (carry
oxygen), and others
produce white blood cells
(fight harmful bacteria in
the body).
-
Muscular System Summary
 Muscles are attached
to bones by tendons
and other tissues
which allow us to
move in many ways
 Muscles are connected
to the brain and spinal
cord by many nerves
 Muscles can only pull
they cannot push
 3 types of muscles
 Cardiac muscle (found only in
the heart) – pumps blood
through the body
 Smooth muscle – surrounds or
are part of internal organs,
they are involuntary (you can’t
control them)
 -Skeletal muscle – carries out
voluntary actions (you can
control them) the most
common type, make up 23% of
women’s and 40% of men’s
body weight
Cardiovascular/Respiratory
System Summary
Cardiovascular system
 Contains the heart and
blood vessels
 Blood is the sticky, red
fluid that goes through
the body, taking oxygen
and collecting carbon
dioxide using veins and
arteries.
 Heart pumps the blood
through the body.
Respiratory system
 Contains the lungs,
nose, and mouth
 Organs are responsible
for taking oxygen from
the air to the blood
steam and getting rid
of carbon dioxide.
Both of these systems are very important to life and breathing.
Both are done automatically and controlled by the brain.
Digestive System Summary
 The digestive system is a group
of organs whose job is to break
down food so it can be used to
make energy for the body.
 The system also builds and
replaces cells and tissues which
are constantly dying.
 Digestion begins in the
mouth.





The teeth grind up the food.
The tongue detects “good’ and “bad”
flavors and helps move food around
the mouth and down the throat.
Saliva (spit) helps with chewing and
swallowing and starts digestion.
Food goes down the throat to the
stomach. Here chemicals break the
food down to be used by the body for
energy, building blocks for cells and
tissues, and some is stored for later
use.
The food passes through the small and
large intestine where nutrients are
absorbed. The parts of food that
cannot be used are passed out of the
body.
The Reproductive System

The main function of the
reproductive systems is
to make egg and sperm
cells which will combine
to make a zygote
(offspring).
Male Reproduction

The function of the male
reproductive system is to
produce and deliver
sperm.
Female Reproduction

The function of the
female reproductive
system is to produce
eggs, receive sperm,
and provide an
environment that a baby
can develop in.

VIRUS
 Small particle that invades
cells and reproduces inside
them
 Viruses are considered
non-living because they do
not have cells or use
energy.
 Most viruses act like
parasites.

They invade a cell, multiply,
take over, and eventually kill
the cell.
 Viruses can attack any
organism of the 6
kingdoms.
VIRUS
PARTS of a VIRUS
Proteins to latch on
 All viruses have 2 parts:

Outer coat for protection


The outer coat of a virus is
made of special proteins
that lock onto the host cells.
Inner core made of genetic
material

The genetic material inside
the core of a virus contains
the instructions for
reproducing the virus once
it is in its host.
Genetic material
VIRUS
REPRODUCTION
 Once the virus has entered
the cell it can do 2 things:
ACTIVE VIRUS
1.
1.
Gets into the cell and begins
to spread its genetic
material. The cell makes new
virus cells until it cannot
hold them anymore and
explodes, sending the viruses
out into the body
HIDDEN VIRUS
2.
1.
Acts the same way as an
active virus except it does
not begin to multiply
immediately
VIRUS
BAD NEWS
 Viruses can be devastating to
the human body as well as
other animals/plants.
 For humans, some viruses last
for days, and we soon recover;
whereas some cause deadly
disease such as HIV.
 Animals/plants can also be
affected negatively by viruses.
 Some viruses can stunt crop
growth such as the rice dwarf
virus, and others can harm
animals such as distemper.
GOOD NEWS
 Since viruses get inside
cells and duplicate their
genetic material, scientists
have begun to inject viruses
with “good” genetic
material.
 Once the virus has entered
the cell, “good” genetic
material can be duplicated
and spread into the body.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK
Why do scientists classify viruses as non-living? They do
not require energy, have cells or make/excrete waste.
2. Name the two parts of a virus. Protein outershell, genetic
material in the inner core
3. Describe how viruses replicate. Once inside the cell, the
viruses genetic material begins to multiply and fill the
cell. Once the cell is full, it bursts, and the new viruses
spread.
4. What is one good thing about a virus? Scientists can use
viruses and fill them with “good” genetic information.
Once they are injected into the body, they can attach to
cells and multiply as if they were destructive.

BACTERIA
BAD NEWS
 Some bacteria cause diseases.
 Animals can pass diseases to
humans.

Communicable Disease:

Disease passed from one
organism to another
 The spread of bacteria can
happen in several ways:



Air
Touching clothing, food,
silverware, or toothbrush
Drinking water that contains
bacteria
GOOD NEWS
 Decomposers help recycle

nutrients into the soil for other
organisms to grow.
Bacteria grow in the stomach of a
cow to break down grass and hay.
Bacteria are used to make
antibiotics.
Used to treat sewage
 Organic waste is consumed by
the bacteria, used as nutrients
by the bacteria, and is no longer
present to produce odors,
sludge, and pollution
Foods like yogurt, cottage, & Swiss
cheeses, sour cream, and
buttermilk are made from bacteria
that grows in milk.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK
 How are bacteria cells different then others in your
body? Bacteria cells do not contain a nucleus.
 Why are there two classifications of bacteria?
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
 What is the difference of the two ways bacteria
reproduce? Binary fission – 2 identical cells are
made from one parent; Conjugation – 2 parents
create a new cell with a new genetic makeup
 List 2 ways in which bacteria helps us? They are
used in medicines and help create food products
we eat.
THERES A FUNGUS AMONG
US!
FUNGI
 Fungi are heterotrophs.
 Fungi and bacteria are the
decomposers of the
biosphere.
 Most fungi are multicelled.
 Many fungi are symbionts
with other organisms.
 Once considered plants but
contain no chlorophyll and
are not photosynthetic
 Also unlike animals
therefore placed in own
kingdom
 Fungi thrive in moist,
warm places such as:






Moist foods
Damp tree bark
Lawns with dew
Damp forest floors
Wet bathroom tiles
Warm, sweaty feet
FUNGI
STRUCTURE
 Arranged in structures
called Hyphae


Branching, threadlike
tubes which make up their
bodies
Substances move freely
through the Hyphae
FUNGI
FOOD SOURCE
 Absorb food through
hyphae which grow into
its food source
 Once the hyphae is
attached to its food
source:


Digestive enzymes are
released into the piece of
food.
Digestive chemicals are
produced to break down the
food which is absorbed.
REPRODUCTION
 SPORES:

produce thousands of spores with a
protective covering


carried by water and air
spores land in a warm, moist place they
grow
 BUDDING:

A well fed cell grows from the body
of the mother cell and separates.
 SEXUAL:

making new spores that are
different from both parents
FUNGI
 4 Classifications:
 Threadlike - produce spores in their threadlike hyphae (ex. bread
mold)
 Sac - produce spores in structures that look like sacs (ex. yeast)
 Club - produce spores in structures that look like clubs (ex.
mushrooms)
 Imperfect - those that cannot reproduce sexually (ex. penicillin)

STICKING TO IT!
PARASITES
 An organism which lives
in or on another living
organism (host)

Symbiosis
 It obtains part or all of its
nourishment from its
host.
 Causes some degree of
damage to its host
Primary hosts:
 Definitive host –
 host in which the parasite
reaches maturity
 Reservoir host  host that can harbor a parasite
indefinitely with no ill effects
 Secondary hosts:
 Paratenic host –
 a secondary host that it is not
necessary for the parasite's
development cycle to progress
 Dead‐end host –
 an intermediate host that does
not generally allow transmission
to the definite host, thereby
preventing the parasite from
completing its development

PARASITES
Ectoparasites
 Feed on the blood or
secretions of the host;
generally do not kill the
host
 Generally much
smaller than host
Endoparasites
 Generally live within
the host body and
generally consume the
host internal organs
leading to death of host
 Generally the
endoparasites attack
other insect or
arthropod hosts.
PARASITES
BAD NEWS
 Parasites can cause lots of
discomfort or disease.
 Parasites can live on your hair
or your body; some even
burrow deep into your skin,
making it very itchy.
 Parasites can eat your skin or
oils that your hair and skin
make and even your blood.
 Some live inside your/animal’s
body; eat your food, or damage
your organs which can make
you ill.

which you can eat.
mushrooms or food and
drinks made using yeast,
like bread and soy sauce
Parasites are used in
medicine.
Leeches and maggots are
grown in special
laboratories and are used
to keep blood flowing or
clean up dead tissue after
people have had accidents.
