In This Lesson: Diversity and Organization of Life (Lesson 5 of 5). Today is Wednesday, October 23 rd , 2013. Pre-Class What does the Golgi Apparatus do? How about the lysosome ?. You need a small bit o’ paper towel too. Just sayin ’….

Today’s Agenda • That core assessment thing. • Another way to sort life. • Diversity and classification of life. • Body organization. • Where is this in my book? • Academic: P. 190 and following… • Honors: P. 6 and following…
Endosymbiosis • The topic of your coming core assessment is endosymbiosis. What’s that? • Here’s a simplified picture: The first eukaryote Prokaryote (with developing nucleus) Prokaryote http://endosymbiotichypothesis.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/endosymbiosis_c_la_784.jpg
Endosymbiosis • If you need a reminder, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have a double membrane and their own DNA (which is not used for much) – unusual for an organelle. • They even have their own ribosomes! • Scientists think this is evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living bacteria – living outside the cell. • In other words, mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes (bacteria).
Endosymbiosis • Then, as other organisms began to photosynthesize, levels of oxygen in the atmosphere rose dramatically. • As a result, some prokaryotic cells (that could use the excess oxygen to produce energy for the cell) invaded others, later evolving to be mitochondria. • Meanwhile the same thing occurred with the organisms that were photosynthesizing, with those prokaryotes evolving into chloroplasts. • The biological concept of one thing invading/taking-in another is called endosymbiosis.
Endosymbiosis • In short: • There are lots of bacteria on early Earth. • Oxygen levels rise considerably. • Small aerobic bacteria invade larger anaerobic bacteria (which have nuclei developing) – endosymbiosis. • Together, along with the formation of the nucleus, the eukaryotic cell evolves. • The smaller aerobic bacteria become today’s mitochondria (with a similar process leading to chloroplasts).

Classifying Life • Remember that classifying life is very difficult. • We went over the eight different characteristics something must have to be considered alive. • There’s still room for “weirdness.” • To start with, not even everything uses oxygen. • Aerobic: using oxygen • Anaerobic:not using oxygen
Carl Linnaeus • Developed the system of classification we use (KPCOFGS) around 1735. • Has since been revised to include Domain and now all sorts of other levels of classification. http://gap.entclub.org/taxonomists/Linnaeus/Carolus_Linnaeus.jpg
The Diversity of Life EUKARYOTES PROKARYOTES http://scepticon.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/phylogenetictreeoflife.jpg
Prokaryotes • The vast majority of prokaryotes are unicellular. • They only have one cell. • For our purposes we will consider them all to be unicellular. • And now, a photo gallery of some lovely prokaryotes!

Eukaryotes • Eukaryotes can be either unicellular or multicellular. • Remember, as long as it has a nucleus it’s a eukaryote. • Like eu! • Plants, animals, and fungi are all eukaryotic, along with a BUNCH of other stuff. • Eukaryotes can look very different from one another. • Eukaryote photo gallery!

Tree of Life • There is an ambitious website called the Tree of Life Project. • Its aim is to create a virtual tree of life connecting all known forms of life. • Kinda difficult. Just sayin’… • Right now, you can trace a path from the roots of the tree (the broadest category of life) to the ends of the branches of the tree (the narrowest categories of life). • You can also go from the roots all the way out to humans, and that’s your job for this little activity.
The Path from Our Roots • Eukaryotes • Animals • Bilateria (animals with bilateral symmetry) • Deuterostomia (animals that developed along a certain pattern) • Chordata (animals with backbones) • Craniata (animals with skulls) • Vertebrata (animals with spines) • Gnathostomata (vertebrates with jaws) • Sarcopterygii
The Path from Our Roots • Sarcopterygii (Lobe-finned fish and land vertebrates) • Terrestrial vertebrates (land animals with backbones) • Amniota (egg-based) • Synapsida (mammals) • Therapsida (mammals) • Mammalia (mammals) • Eutheria (placental mammals) • Primates • Catarrhini (Humans, apes, Old-World Monkeys)
The Path from Our Roots • Catarrhini • Hominidae (humans, great apes) (brace yourselves) • Homo (brace yourselves - humans) • Homo sapiens
Levels of Organization • In multicellular organisms, cells tend to become specialized as they grow. • They do different jobs. • Stem cells are not yet specialized, but can become virtually any kind of cell – they can differentiate. • Between the cell and the complete organism are several levels of organization. • Now it’s your turn to use the BioScale.
Levels of Organization • Using your whiteboards (and partners), fill in the missing space in the BioScale below: • (Draw it in your notebooks too) Organism Cells Organelles Not to scale…
Moving upward from cells… • A group of cells that has a common job is called a tissue. • There are four major tissue types in the body: • Epithelial (linings and membranes, barriers) • Connective (structures and holds things) • Muscle • Nerve

BioScale Organism ? ? Tissues Cells Organelles Organic Molecules Compounds Atoms Subatomic Particles
Levels of Organization • Acting out the levels of organization • Class bonding! • Some of you will be tissues.
Moving up from tissues… • A group of at least two or more different types of tissues working together is called an organ. • Examples of organs include: • Heart • Brain • Liver • Spleen • Stomach
Trivia Question! • What’s the biggest organ in the body? • The skin. • Your skin is your largest organ, and it has several different kinds of tissues in it: • Outside of skin (epidermis) – epithelial tissue. • Inside of skin (dermis) – connective tissue. • “Hey, your epidermis is showing!”

Levels of Organization • Acting out the levels of organization • Class bonding! • Some of you will be tissues. • Now those of you that were tissues were an organ – the skin!
Moving up from organs… • A group of at least two or more different types of organs working together is called… • An organ system! • Examples of human organ systems include: • Nervous system (nerves) • Endocrine system (hormones) • Circulatory system (arteries, veins, capillaries) • Muscular System (muscles)

Levels of Organization • Acting out the levels of organization • Class bonding! • We will all be an organ system. • Some of us are epithelial tissue (epidermis) • Some of us are connective tissue (dermis) • Some of are adipose tissue (subcutaneous layer) • With our powers combined, we become the integumentary system (your skin, hair, and other stuff).
Let’s have some closure… • Draw in your notebook a diagram, pyramid, concept map, (whatever you want) that would represent how organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues, and cells all relate. • Here’s a start: Organism
