Study Notes
Cell Nucleus Characteristics
- Darkly stained body located within the nucleus, indicative of chromatin presence.
- Lacks a membranous boundary, setting it apart from other organelles.
- Contains one or more nucleoli, which are sites for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and storage.
Disorders Related to Growth Hormones
- Deficiency of growth hormones can result in dwarfism.
- Excessive hormone levels during childhood may lead to gigantism.
- In adults, overproduction causes acromegaly, characterized by enlarged bones and tissues.
Bilateria Classification
- Bilateria organisms do not have specialized organs or transport systems.
- Composed of three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
- Exhibit bilateral symmetry and a sac-like digestive system, enhancing efficiency in nutrient processing.
Cnidaria Phylum
- Represents a group characterized by radial symmetry.
- Includes lack of complex organs; simpler body structure compared to Bilateria.
Body Cavity Types
- Acoelomates: organisms with no body cavity.
- Pseudocoelomates: possess a fluid-filled body cavity that is not fully lined by mesoderm.
- Coelomates: have a true coelom, a body cavity lined with mesoderm.
Photosynthesis Process
- Light energy, a type of electromagnetic radiation, is essential in photosynthesis.
- Initiates the transformation of light energy into chemical energy, fundamental for plant growth and energy storage.
