Unit 3-Investigating the Diversity of Life Lesson 1: What are the Similarities and Differences among Living Things? organism-_______________________________________________________ -bacteria, mushrooms, trees, algae, worms, and giraffes are all organisms. species_______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ -cheetah -black walnut trees -portabella mushrooms -horses & donkeys (they can mate with one another (mules), but mules cannot reproduce, so horses and donkeys are not considered the same species extinct-_________________________________________________________ -dinosaurs -common & natural -over _______% of organisms that ever existed are extinct fossil-__________________________________________________________ biodiversity- bio means “_________,” and diversity means “_________________.” 1. All organisms are made of ___________________________________ o yeast (one cell) o you (trillions of cells) 2. All living things have basic needs o you (water, food, and oxygen) o oak tree (water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide) o certain bacteria that live on the ocean floor (hydrogen sulfide-a very poisonous gas to humans) 3. All living things need and use _______________________________________ o dandelion - sunlight o fungus - by absorbing _______________ from dead organisms o you - foods you eat 1 4. All living things grow, develop, and eventually die o Mayfly- live a few hours o Bristlecone pines- live 4,700 years 5. All living things reproduce more organisms like themselves 6. All living things respond to their environment o a plant grows toward _________________________________________ o you blink in ______________ ________________________ 7.

Kingdom o Kingdom Animalia- animals o Kingdom Plantae- plants o Kingdom Fungi- fungi, slime molds, yeasts, mold, and mushrooms o Kingdom Monera- bacteria (The simplest organisms on earth) o Kingdom Protista- microorganisms that cannot easily be classified as animals, plants, fungi, or bacteria (usually single celled organisms) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Phylum Class _________________ Family Genus _________________ _______________ ________________- This man developed a two-part naming system called binomial nomenclature, which assures that all scientists use the same name for the same organism.

No symmetry S____________ example o Several Major Groups 1. Sponge Animals with a soft body and without organs They can’t move from place to place. They can’t photosynthesize. They eat. (Collar cells act as a net to trap food. Whiplike structures called flagella circulate water inside the sponge.) 2. Coelenterates Animals with stinging tentacles _______________ symmetry Only one body opening for food and waste Stinging cells on the tentacles send sharp barbs into the animal, releasing poison, then the tentacles move the animal toward the body opening o Jellyfish, hydras, corals, and sea anemones 3. Worms _______________ symmetry Soft slender bodies covered with moist, thin skin. o Three major groups of worms Flatworms- long, flat body and only one opening for food and waste. Many are parasites. (tapeworm) 9 Round worms- long, thin bodies and separate openings for food and waste. Most are very tiny; many are microscopic. (trichina roundworm- from eating undercooked pork) Segmented worms-Two separate openings for food and waste. Most have tiny, stiff hairs that help them grip the ground as they move along. Several structures like hearts, pumping blood through the body. (L___________ and E___________ examples) 4.

Plants o Stiff outer coverings called cell walls- these cell walls help keep the plant rigid and upright. o Contain ________________- a green pigment (used to make their own food) o All plants have structures for getting water, making food, reproducing, and providing support. a. Root system- roots- underground structure that collects water and dissolved minerals from the soil. 1. Anchor the plant to soil 2. Store unused food for the plant Two basic types: 3. _____________________- one main root that grows downward structured to reach water deep in the soil 4. ___________ _________- composed of several equal-sized roots that spread out from the plant’s base. structured for quickly collecting water near the soil’s surface b. Shoot system i. Made up of stems and leaves 1. stems a. support the plant and connect the roots to the leaves and reproductive structures. b. position the leaves for maximum exposure to sunlight 2. leaves a. make sugar for the plant to use as food 3. _____________ ____________- a plant that has vascular tissue (most plants have this plumbing) a. vascular tissues- plant tissues that transport water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients i. ____________- vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from the plant’s roots to the leaves ii. Phloem- v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ tissue that transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant b. Two smaller groups: i. With seeds (all trees, shrubs, vines, flowers, houseplants, and weeds) 12 1. Seed Plants are divided into two major groups - Cone bearing plants (pines, spruces, firs, and cedars) Pollen and eggs from the plant join inside the cones, where they grow into seeds. These seeds are scattered when the cones open. - Flowering plants (majority of plants use flowers to reproduce) - When the egg cells inside the flowers are fertilized by sperm cells inside pollen, the egg cells become seeds. Fruits form around the seeds to protect them and to aid in scattering - Spread by animals, wind, or water 2. Without seeds (ferns and horsetails-use spores to reproduce) 4. _____________ _________- a plant that does not have vascular tissue i. These plants must move water, food, and minerals from cell to cell without the help of tubes or pipes. ii. Moss and liverwort iii. Can’t grow tall for the above reason iv. Reproduce using cells called spores. 1. Spores- a reproductive cell that can grow directly into a new organism - Very light - Spread in the wind or water c. Reproductive system 1.

Explain four reasons why your friend is mistaken. 15 Lesson 8: What Are Bacteria, Fungi, and Protists Like? __________________________-one-celled organisms without a nucleus o Kingdom Monera 1. Some bacteria- Decompose dead organisms into nutrients 2. Other bacteria- Cause human and animal illness o Not all bacteria is harmful 1. Some recycle nitrogen in the soil so that plants can grow 2. Others live inside our bodies to help us digest food. o Louis Pasteur- invented pasteurization (heating liquids to kill harmful bacteria) __________- an organism that absorbs its food from dead, dying, or living material o Yeasts- one celled organism- (reproduce by dividing that cell), Molds (penicillin- the first antibiotic drug), Mushrooms o Most are decomposers that absorb nutrients from dead plants or animals o A few fungi absorb nutrients from living tissue (athlete’s foot) o Others live on tree roots (helps get vital minerals and protects them from disease causing organisms) Protist- _______________________________________________________ o Most are one-celled o Have a nuclei o Some use photosynthesis (algae) (Diatoms) ______________________- a protist that has some characteristics of animals o One-celled organism that needs food, water, air, and a way of disposing of wastes. o Most live in water or moist places (amoebas- engulf their food; others hunt using whiplike or hairlike structures to sweep small creatures into their mouths 1.
