    Study Notes

    Amoeba

    • Unicellular organism, typically heterotrophic and irregularly shaped.
    • Enclosed by a cell membrane, with a size around 0.25 mm.
    • Cytoplasm is divided into two regions: ectoplasm (outer) and endoplasm (inner).
    • Contains two types of vacuoles: food vacuole for digestion and contractile vacuole for osmoregulation.
    • Classified as Protozoa and part of the Kingdom Protista; reproduces asexually through binary fission.
    • Eukaryotic organism with a single nucleus and capable of movement by extending pseudopodia (false feet).
    • Nutritional intake occurs via phagocytosis, consuming bacteria and algae.
    • Found in various environments including freshwater, marine, and soil.

    Tetrapoda

    • Major classification of vertebrates including terrestrial animals.
    • Can range in size from approximately 1 cm to large species over 30 cm in Africa.

    Amphibians

    • Multicellular, cold-blooded animals that undergo metamorphosis.
    • Young stage called tadpole; scientific name is Ranatigrina.
    • Characterized by the absence of a neck and tail in adults.
    • Exhibit separate sexes and reproduce oviparously.
    • Possess 26 chromosomes and a heart with two chambers.
    • Life cycle includes dual existence in both aquatic (tadpole) and terrestrial (adult) environments.

    Locomotion and Physiology

    • Amphibians use four limbs with fingers for movement and adaptation to land.
    • Some species undergo hibernation in winter and estivating during summer.
    • Respiration takes place primarily through lungs, supplemented by skin.
    • Hearing is facilitated through a tympanic membrane (eardrum).

    Plant Reproduction

    • Flower structures include calyx (3-4 sepals for protection), petals (4-6) with nectar glands.
    • Androecium contains male components: filament, anther, and pollen grains.
    • Gynoecium includes female parts: stigma, style, and ovary.

    Pollination

    • Some plants rely on self-pollination, while others have mechanisms for cross-pollination.

    General Characteristics of Cold-Blooded Animals

    • Diverse group, including amphibians that demonstrate unique adaptative behaviors.
    • Characterized by reliance on environmental temperatures for body heat regulation.

    Summary of Observations

    • Organisms like frogs and other amphibians exhibit distinct developmental stages.
    • Adaptative traits include various reproductive strategies, respiratory methods, and sensory capabilities.
