Study Notes
Fossil Discovery
- A "muppet-faced" creature that lived during the Age of the Dinosaurs was discovered, and it specialized in consuming plankton on an industrial scale.
- This creature likely lived in an ocean habitat.
Phylum and Endosymbiotic Theory
- The Excavata phylum provides insight into the endosymbiotic theory, which explains the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Energy Source
- Sunlight is the source of energy for an oak tree.
Homologous Structures
- The wing of a bat and the flipper of a whale are examples of homologous structures.
Bacterial Reproduction
- Bacteria reproduce by undergoing cell division through simple splitting.
Human Classification
- Humans are members of the apes group of primates.
Deep-Sea Bacteria
- Some deep-sea bacteria live near submerged volcanoes and make their own food using energy derived from minerals.
- These bacteria are classified as autotrophic.
Prokaryote Dormancy
- Some prokaryotes can remain in a dormant stage for long periods to endure stress.
- This dormant structure is called an endospore.
