    Study Notes

    Animal Structure and Function

    • Vertebrates: Animals with a backbone. Cats are an example.
    • Invertebrates: Animals without a backbone.
    • Unicellular organisms: Organisms composed of a single cell (e.g., diatoms).
    • Multicellular organisms: Organisms composed of two or more cells (e.g., dogs).
    • Cellular Differentiation: Process where cells specialize for specific functions.
    • Specialized Cells: Cells performing specific tasks.
    • Tissues: Groups of cells working together.
    • Organs: Groups of tissues performing specific functions.
    • Organ Systems: Groups of organs working together.
    • Organisms: The culmination of organ systems.

    Tissue Types

    • Connective Tissue: Supports and connects tissues.
    • Epithelial Tissue: Protects against injury.
    • Muscle Tissue: Enables movement (in all animals).
    • Nervous Tissue: Transmits messages to the brain.

    Organ Systems

    • Circulatory System: Circulates blood.
    • Respiratory System: For gas exchange (oxygen intake).
    • Musculoskeletal System: Movement.
    • Nervous System: Signal transmission.
    • Digestive System: Breaks down food.

    Gas Exchange

    • Humans: Air enters through the mouth/nose, down the trachea, through the lungs (bronchi → bronchioles → alveoli). Alveoli (thin-walled sacs) allow oxygen to pass into the blood. The circulatory system then distributes the oxygen throughout the body.
    • Frogs: Can breathe through their skin (absorbing oxygen through water), or their mouth.

    Plant Structure and Function

    • Xylem: Transports water and minerals in plants.
    • Roots: Absorb water and minerals from the soil.
    • Water Transport mechanisms: Root pressure, capillary action, transpiration pull (caused by water evaporation).
    • Stomata: Pores in leaves that facilitate transpiration.
    • Photosynthesis: The process by which plants utilize sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy.

    Unicellular Organisms

    • Phagocytosis: Way for unicellular organisms (Paramecium) to ingest food.

    Response to the Environment

    • Animals: Responding to cold (putting on a jacket), to heat (sweating).
    • Plants: Adapting to changes in sunlight (e.g., leaf color change in autumn; leaf regrowth in spring). Changes in chlorophyll production are linked to environmental cues such as sunlight.

    Broad Classifications of Life

    • Five major groups: Fungi, bacteria, animals, plants, and protists.

    Paramecium (Example):

    • Cilia: Function for movement and food digestion.
