Brendan Knob 8/21/13 AP Bio: Summer Essay Spring The human body is like a machine. When all of its parts are working properly and you take care of it, it runs perfectly, when you don?t it starts to break down. The ?control center? of the human body is the nervous system. Another key player in the communication in the body is the endocrine system. These two systems allow your body to function.

Lecture Outline for Campbell/Reece Biology, 7th Edition, ? Pearson Education, Inc. 11-1 Chapter 11 Cell Communication Lecture Outline Overview: The Cellular Internet ? Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms. ? Cells must communicate to coordinate their activities. ? Communication between cells is also important for many unicellular organisms. ? Biologists have discovered universal mechanisms of cellular regulation involving the same small set of cell-signaling mechanisms. ? The ubiquity of these mechanisms provides additional evidence for the evolutionary relatedness of all life. ? Cells most often communicate by chemical signals, although signals may take other forms.

Lecture Outline for Campbell/Reece Biology, 7th Edition, ? Pearson Education, Inc. 12-1 Chapter 12 The Cell Cycle Lecture Outline Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division ? The ability of organisms to reproduce their kind is the one characteristic that best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. ? The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division. Cell division functions in reproduction, growth, and repair. ? The division of a unicellular organism reproduces an entire organism, increasing the population. ? Cell division on a larger scale can produce progeny for some multicellular organisms. ? This includes organisms that can grow by cuttings.

Chris Schink Biology Vocab Chapter 29 Parenchyma- In higher plants, the fundamental tissue that is composed of thin walled living cells that function in photosynthesis and storage. Collenchyma- A group of elongated, thick walled plant cells that support the growth of leaves and stems. Sclerenchyma- A type of plant tissue composed of cells that have thickened secondary walls that function in plant support. Epidermis- The outer layer of cells of a plant or animal. Cuticle- A waxy or fatty watertight layer on the external wall of epidermal cells. Tracheid- A thick-walled cylindrical cell with tapered ends that is found in xylem and that provides support and conducts water and nutrients. Pit- In plants, the thin, porous areas of a tracheid cell wall.

Chapter 28- Protists Overview: Living Small Protist- the informal name of the group of mostly unicellular eukaryotes Protists constitute a polyphyletic group, and Protista is no longer valid as a kingdom caused by systematics. Molecular data shows there is genetic diversity. Concept 28.1: Most eukaryotes are single celled organisms Protists are eukaryotes most are unicellular, but there are some colonial and multicellular species Protists are the most diverse of the eukaryotes Single celled protists can be very complex, as all biological functions are carried out by organelles in each individual cell don?t see the division of labor like in multicellular eukaryotes, every single cell has all the organelles a protist needs to survive

Chapter 27- Bacteria and Archaea Prokaryotes live everywhere and are microscopic Concept 27.1: Structural and functional adaptations contribute to prokaryotic success Earth's first organisms were likely prokaryotes Most unicellular, although some form colonies Between .5-5 micrometers, much smaller than eukaryotic cells(10-100 micrometers) Many shapes Spheres (cocci) Rods (bacilli) Spirals Figure 27.2 Prokaryotic cell has a cell wall, which maintains cell shape, protects the cell, and prevents it from bursting in a hypotonic environment (Eukaryotes have a cell wall made of cellulose or chitin) Capsule- polysaccharide or protein layer that covers prokaryotes

Ch. 7 Membrane Structure and Function Plasma membrane separates living cell from its surroundings Controls traffic into and out of the cell it surrounds Selectively permeable: allows some substances to cross easier than others One of the earliest episodes in the evolution of life may have been the formation of a membrane that enclosed a solution different from the surrounding solution while still permitting the uptake of nutrients and elimination of waste products. Ability of cell to discriminate in chemical exchanges with its environment is fundamental to life Lipids and proteins are the staple of membranes; carbohydrates are also important Phospholipid is amphipathic meaning it has hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
