PPT-Organisms

Organ Systems Working Together There are many different organs in the body the liver kidneys heart even your skin is an organ Organ Systems are composed of two or more. A. Introduction – There are multiple criteria by which you can classify an organism. 1. Metabolic Activities (Carbon, Energy & Oxygen sources). A) Recall that microbes may vary in their carbon & energy sources. What is a single-celled organism?. An organism where all the life processes are carried out in a single-cell. .. Bacteria are the most . numerous . single-celled organisms . All other life on earth depends on bacteria and other single-celled organisms to serve as food, break down wastes, and provide oxygen . Ecology. Ecology: The study of the relationship between organisms and their environment.. Example problems that ecology handles. How do humans affect the atmosphere and contribute to global warming? . A place in the natural environment where living and non-living items function in the same habitat.. What is the primary ecosystem that Tucson host?. Desert, but if we were to travel up the Santa Catalina Mountains we would be traveling into different ecosystems at different elevations.. Continuous spectrum which makes it difficult to place in distinct groups. Natural – evolutionary. Artificial - purposeful. Classification. Five Kingdoms:. Protoctists. Prokaryotes. Fungi. Plants. Animals. A. Introduction – There are multiple criteria by which you can classify an organism. 1. Metabolic Activities (Carbon, Energy & Oxygen sources). A) Recall that microbes may vary in their carbon & energy sources. Kingdom Protista. A. Sometimes not considered a true kingdom because the organisms vary tremendously from one to another. The only universal characteristic among the group is that they are all eukaryotic.. Matthew Amato, Joseph Carrasco, Carmen Sabedra & Cody Onufrock. Abstract. The question posed is, What is the Makeup of the Community of Organisms Living on rock substrate near the post in the Long Beach High School Pond? Organisms were collected and identified by using DNA barcoding. With the DNA from the collected organisms, via gel electrophoresis, traces of viable DNA were discovered . When gels were run, only one sample of six had worked. Because of the wide range of organisms collected, it was concluded that the community surrounding the post is diverse and strong enough to support a multitude of different species. The most important finding from this research was coincidentally, the only organism that worked during gel electrophoresis.( This organism, PAZ-01, was the only organism that was not identifiable as an animal or plant using . The Diversity of Life. Taxonomy . is the study and practice of classifying living organisms.. Modern taxonomy uses the three domain system.. Domain . Archaea. : . Unicellular and live in harsh environments; no nuclei. Biosphere: All life on earth and parts of earth in which life exists (land, water and atmosphere). Studying Our Living planet. Science of Ecology. Study of interactions of living things, their surroundings or environments. Chapter 1. Lesson 4. Objectives. Students will:. Explore how all the living and nonliving parts of an environment interact.. Describe how the living organisms interact with each other and with non-living parts of an environment.. Needham theorized that if he took chicken broth and heated it, all living things in it would die. . After heating some broth, he let a flask cool and sit at a constant temperature.. . Result: Lots of microorganisms grew in flask. I. Biotic and . Abiotic. Factors. A. Biotic Factors-- all living things that inhabit an environment. 1. relationships with organisms of the same or different species. . B. . Abiotic. Factors: The nonliving environment. Biomedical Technology I. 3.03. GMO’s:. Also known as Transgenic Organisms. Are species that carry one or more genes from another species.. These have continued to improve since the 1970’s. Advantages:.
