What do

What do all

• Regulation
– Maintain
homeostasis
(stability during
changing external
conditions)

Take in energy &

function

• Respond
– react to

What do
all living

have in

?
• Reproduction
– Continues the
species as a whole
(otherwise →extinction)
– Is it necessary for
the individual
organism? What do
all living
things
have in

?
• Evolution
– Species’ capacity to
change over time
This is not an individual
characteristic!

REPRODUCTION
Every living thing must
carry out these
functions,
but
do they complete them
in the same way?
Can you define these terms scientifically?
If something is living, it will perform all of the Life
Activities
Do all organisms carry these activities out in the same way?
Use your textbook or internet to help you define these
activities in your own words.

Darwin Published his book:
Two points:
1.
2.
Species arise through a
process of descent with
modification
Natural Selection
1 Population with varied inherited traits
2 Elimination of individuals with certain traits
3 Reproduction of survivors
Heritable variations are exposed to
environmental factors that favor the
reproductive success of some individuals
over others
The best
adapted
survive to
reproduce
and pass on
their “fit”
genes.

●NOT a plant & CANNOT make their own
food. NOT a scavenger
● examples include yeasts, molds, and
mushrooms
●absorb decaying, digested food from the
external environment
• multicellular - possess chloroplasts and cell walls
• make their own food – PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Reproduce sexually – can be asexual

bryophytes and the tracheophytes.

● Predominately unicellular organisms (with
exceptions – colonial without tissue)
● Either plant-like, fungus-like or animal-like
characteristics
● Ex: protozoans and some algae
– true nucleus and nuclear membrane
● Classification of Protists:
– Motile
– Divided based on their means of LOCOMOTION
Mode of Nutrition, or Life Cycle
Protists move about using flagella, cilia or
pseudopods.
Trypanosomes are human parasites
that cause African sleeping sickness
(transmitted by tsetse flies)
Euglena are photosynthetic
protists.
Paramecia and Stentor
are common pond water organisms.
These protists are food for many other organisms.
Amoeba proteus
causes dysentery
brain eating pond organism
DIATOMS are ocean dwelling protists that make up
PLANKTON.
PLANKTON is food for ocean dwelling
organisms!
Animal-like Protists
• Often animal-like Protists are called PROTOZOA
• Live in fresh or salt water, in the soil, or in the bodies of
other organisms
• No Cell Wall!
Fungus-like Protist
• Heterotrophs with Cell Wall
• Reproduce through spores
• Mold & Mildew
Plant-like Protists:
• Plant-like protists include algae, diatoms and many
others
• They contain chloroplasts and are therefore
AUTOTROPHIC
• Cell Wall present
• Important to the aquatic food chain
The Euglena: clip
● exhibits both animal-like and Plant-like
characteristics
● contains chloroplasts, which are involved
in PHOTOSYNTHESIS
● contains a flagellum, which is used for
LOCOMOTION
● autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on
the availability of light
Kingdom Animalia
• Heterotrophs
– must ingest others for
nutrients
• Multicellular
– complex bodies
• No cell walls
– allows active movement
• Sexual Reproduction
– Most, not all…
• Evolved from colonial

• increase food capacity &
digestion
• increase gamete production
• Coelem
– allows complex structures to
develop in digestive system
• ex. stomach

• Examples:
– Sponges
• Body Plan:
• no distinct tissues or organs [acoelomate]
• do have specialized cells
• Symmetry:
• Some are radial symmetric, some asymmetric
• Misc.
• sessile (as adults)
