1. Study pages 36-77. 2. Study vocabulary flashcards (using quizlet – link on 6th grade website). a. Lesson 1 – Viruses What are the characteristics of viruses? o Are they living? Are they cells? o What shapes are viruses? o How are viruses named? o How/where do viruses multiply? o Know the basic structure of viruses. How do viruses interact with the living world? o Name some examples of diseases/illnesses caused by viruses. o How can viruses be useful? o Be able to explain how vaccines work. b. Lesson 2 – Bacteria What are bacteria? o Describe the cell structure of bacteria. o Be able to define and label the following on a diagram of a bacterium: cytoplasm ribosomes flagellum cell wall cell membrane o What shapes do bacteria come in? How do bacteria get food, get energy, and reproduce? o How do bacteria get food? o How do bacteria reproduce? Describe asexual reproduction/binary fission. Describe sexual reproduction/conjugation. Describe what an endospore is. What is the role of bacteria in nature? o Describe the following roles of bacteria: Oxygen production Food production Health and medicine Environmental cleanup Environmental recycling c. Lesson 3 – Protists What are the characteristics of animal-like protists? o What’s another name for animal-like protists? o Be able to describe the four groups of protozoans: Sarcodines - Protozoans with pseudopods Describe how they move. Explain a contractile vacuole. Give an example of a sarcodine. Flagellates - Protozoans with flagella Explain how they move. Give an example of a flagellate. Ciliates - Protozoans with cilia How do they move? Give an example of a ciliate. Protozoans that are parasites Describe two examples. What are the characteristics of plant-like protists? o What are these commonly called? o Are plant-like protists unicellular or multicellular? o What are some “uses” of plant-like protists? What are the characteristics of fungi-like protists? o How do fungi-like protists reproduce? o Describe slime-molds. o What are water molds and downy mildews? d. Lesson 4 – Fungi What are the characteristics of fungi? o Describe their cell structure. o Know what hyphae are and what they do. o How do fungi obtain food? o How do fungi reproduce? Asexual reproduction (budding) Sexual reproduction o How are fungi classified? What is the role of fungi in nature? o Be able to describe/give an example of each: Environmental recycling Food and fungi Disease-fighting fungi Disease-causing fungi Fungus-plant root associations Lichens SUMMARY OF ORGANISMS Organism Prokaryote/ eukaryote Cell Structure Method of obtaining Food Not a cell/non-living -------- Reproduction bacteria prokaryote unicellular autotrophs & heterotrophs Must be inside of another cell to reproduce asexual – binary fission sexual - conjugation animal-like protists (protozoans) eukaryote unicellular heterotrophs asexual & sexual plant-like protists (algae) eukaryote unicellular (euglenoids, dinoflagellates, diatoms) or multicellular (red/brown algae) autotrophs asexual & sexual fungi-like protists *can move at some point in their life eukaryote unicellular or multicellular heterotrophs use spores to reproduce Fungi Do not move eukaryote Unicellular(yeasts) or multicellular heterotrophs usually using spores asexual (budding) & sexual (2 hyphaes join) virus Neither/non-living
