Why weren’t cells discovered until 1665? Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Discover and Diversity of Cells Robert Hooke first to describe the cell. In 1665, he built a microscope and looked at cork or bark cells. He looked at plants, feathers, fish scales, and fly eyes.

Add a drop of water and a cover-slip. Use a microscope to examine the slide. What do you see? Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD See speaker notes for lab. Discover and Diversity of Cells All organisms are made of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of all living things. All cells come from existing cells. Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Discover and Diversity of Cells The largest cell on Earth is the yolk of an ostrich. If the cell gets too large, the cell’s surface area will not be large enough to take in enough nutrients or pump out enough waste.

Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Discover and Diversity of Cells Eubacteria- are the most common type of cells. They live everywhere. They don’t have a nucleus and they don’t have membrane-bound organelles. Archaebacteria- are not as common as eubacteria. These cells are single-celled organisms. They have circular DNA and they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Discover and Diversity of Cells Eukayotic – are the largest cells.

Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Let’s Review 2. Why are cells small? Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Answer A large cell would be unable to take I enough nutrients or get rid of enough waste. Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Let’s Review 3. What are the three basic types of cells, and how are they different? Chapter 7 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Answer The three basic types of cells are eubateria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes. Archaebacteria and eubacteria don’ have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, as eukaryotes do.

Why can’t you use your arm muscles to digest food? Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD The Organization of Living Things The benefits to being multi-cellular are: – Many different cells allows organisms to perform many functions. – Each cell is specialized to do a particular job. Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD The Organization of Living Things A tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific job. Cardiac cells make-up the cardiac muscles.

Function is the job the part does. Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD The Organization of Living Things Activity Even though the earthworm looks like a simple organism, it has external and internal parts that work together to help the organism survive. Dissect an earthworm to explore the parts of the worm. Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD The Organization of Living Things Anything that can live on its own is an organism. An organism that is singled celled is called unicellular.

Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Answer Cell; tissues Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Let’s Review 2. Differentiate between structure and function in organ systems using the lung and heart as an example. Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Answer The structure of the lungs is a group of sacs surrounded by small blood vessels. The function of the lungs is to exchange gases. Oxygen enters the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide enters the sac and is breathed out. The heart is a set of muscular chambers. When a chamber contracts, it pushes blood to its next destination. Valves keep the blood from moving backwards. Chapter 7 Section 3 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Change Over Time Chapter 8 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Change Over Time What Do You Think? What is a fossil? Chapter 8 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Change Over Time Inherited Characteristics- passed from one generation to another and can change over time.

Analyze the characteristics of fossils and compare placement of fossils over time. Chapter 8 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD See speaker notes for lab. Let’s Review 1. How can the fossil record be used to suggest that living things have changed over time? Chapter 8 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Answer Fossils provide a historical sequence of life. The deeper in the Earth’s crust fossils are fund, the less they look like present day organisms. Chapter 8 Section 1 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD Let’s Review 2.

Traits are distinguishing qualities that can be passed from parents to offspring. Selective breeding is when humans select which plants or animals will reproduce based on certain traits. Dogs are a good example of selective breeding. Chapter 8 Section 2 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD How Do Populations Change? Selective Breeding Cite: http://home.flash.net/~ceramics/h810028.jpg Chapter 8 Section 2 Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD How Do Populations Change? Darwin was impressed that farmers could make large changes in just a few generations. He learned from geologist that the Earth was older than first thought according to Charles Lyell.

Thomas Malthus study the population growth in Europe in 1700’s. He thought that there would be too many people and not enough food. Hunger, sickness and food help keep population under control.
