Warmup: January 28, 2014Explain how DNA from ancient species can be compared with modern species to determine evolutionary relationships (I know we haven’t covered this yet, I just want to see if you can create some ideas as to “how”)It is possible by taking an ancient species DNA and adding modern species genome, but you cannot take a modern species and add ancient DNA to it and have a living organism

Warmup: January 29, 2014Classify the following examples of mutations as insertions, deletions, or substitutions1.

Warmup: February 4, 2014Compare the function of mitochondria and chloroplast within

the cell.

chloroplastsusually found in plants and unicellular organismsconverts solar/light energy into chemical energy (sugar)

Mitochondrionplural: mitochondriafound in almost all cellsconverts chemical energy (sugar) into another form of chemical energy (ATP), which is simpler and could be used by the cellprocess is cellular respiration:

Agenda1. Check warm-up sheets2. Go over homework3. Start notes on Domains/Kingdoms4. Prepare for fungi lab Monday

February 3, 2014

Objectives:1. Explain why and how organisms are classified.2. List the eight levels of classification.3. Explain scientific names.4. Describe how dichotomous keys help in identifying

organisms.

When you are done with the test: Define the following: (Chapt 9 Sect 1)1. classification2. taxonomy3. mammary glands4. eight-level system5. branching diagram

1. classification- putting things into orderly groups based on similar characteristics

2. taxonomy-the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things

3. mammary glands-milk producing gland of female mammals

4. eight-level system-system taxonomists use to classify living things: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

5. branching diagram-diagram showing similarities and differences between organisms

Taxonomy• Discovered by Carolus Linnaeus (Swedish)—used to be only plants and

animals, but Linnaeus classified based on shape and structure• Each species has a two-part name. (Genus + Specific name)

• Example: Asian elephant: Elephas maximus also written: E. maximus (first letter is always capital, then a period, then lower case specific name)• Example: Tyrannosaurus rex • What is “Tyrannosaurus”?? Genus• What is “rex”?? Specific name• What is the shorthand of Tyrannosaurus rex?

T. rexTyrannosaurus rex is a combination of two Greek words: “tyrant lizard”. rex is Latin for “king”

Eight level classification:

1. Did2. King3. Phillip4. Come5. Over6. For 7. Good 8. Spaghetti

1. Domain2. Kingdom3. Phylum4. Class5. Order6. Family7. Genus8. Species

Example: DomainKingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: Chordata (animals with hollow nerve cord and backbone)Class: Mammalia: (Nurse young, have backbone)Order: Carvivora (have special teeth for tearing meat)Family: Felidae (have backbone, nurse young, have special teeth, and have retractable claws)Genus: Felis (these cats cannot roar, only purr)Species: Felis domesticus

Make your own dichotomous key:Take 5-10 things out of your pencil bag…pens, pencils, markers, Expos, etc.

Try to work with your partner next to you to make a dichotomous key. When you are done, switch it with the people to the right or left of you (switch seats). Take one of the items and use THEIR dichotomous key to see if it is correct to give you the name of the item in your hand.

Questions for homework Due 2/61. Why do scientists classify animals?2. What is the basis of modern classification systems? (How do they

classify?)3. Why couldn’t you use just one dichotomous key for all the species

on earth?4. Describe how the number of organisms change from the level of

kingdom to the level of species.5. What are two problems with common names?6. What are the two parts of a scientific name?

Facts about Viruses and Bacteria (Venn Diagram)http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/bacterial-and-viral-infections

• Bacteria are relatively complex, single-celled creatures with a rigid wall and a thin, rubbery membrane surrounding the fluid inside the cell. They can reproduce on their own. Fossilized records show that bacteria have existed for about 3.5 billion years, and bacteria can survive in different environments, including extreme heat and cold, radioactive waste, and the human body.• Most bacteria are harmless, and some actually help by digesting food, destroying disease-causing

microbes, fighting cancer cells, and providing essential nutrients. Fewer than 1% of bacteria cause diseases in people.• Viruses are tinier: the largest of them are smaller than the smallest bacteria. All they have is a

protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. In most cases, they reprogram the cells to make new viruses until the cells burst and die. In other cases, they turn normal cells into malignant or cancerous cells.• Also unlike bacteria, most viruses do cause disease, and they're quite specific about the cells they

attack. For example, certain viruses attacks cells in the liver, respiratory system, or blood. In some cases, viruses target bacteria.

Norovirus Norovirus is highly contagious. It's a hardy little bug that can live in the environment for up to four weeks. The virus can live in an infected person's stool for two weeks or more.People who come into contact with a surface a patient has touched or clothes they've worn can get sick. You can also get sick eating any food a person with the virus has touched. Food commonly involved in outbreaks includes shellfish, leafy greens and fresh fruit.Any food served raw or handled by an infected person after being cooked can get contaminated. Food can also be easily contaminated if it has been sitting out for hours, such as on a buffet.People who have norovirus are most contagious when they are sick but can still transfer the virus even three days after they have recovered from the worst of the symptoms.

How is it treated?• There is no medicine or vaccine to specifically treat norovirus, but most

people recover fully without treatment. (There is a vaccine in the early testing stages.)• Since this is a virus, antibiotics won't cut it; they work only on bacterial

infections.• Someone with norovirus has only one option, and that's hydration therapy.

People who vomit frequently or have diarrhea need to replace the liquids they lose. Sports drinks can help with mild dehydration, but water is best. You can also buy oral rehydration fluids over the counter at most drug and grocery stores.• Getting too dehydrated is dangerous. In extreme cases, people who do not

get enough fluids may have to be hospitalized. There, a patient will get fluids intravenously.

Sicknesses during WWI

By the time World War I began, attempts to use anthrax were directed at animal populations. This generally proved to be ineffective. Shortly after the start of World War I, Germany launched a biological sabotage campaign in the United States, Russia, Romania, and France.[4] At that time, Anton Dilger lived in Germany, but in 1915 he was sent to the United States carrying cultures of glanders, a virulent disease of horses and mules. Dilger set up a laboratory in his home in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He used stevedores working the docks in Baltimore to infect horses with glanders while they were waiting to be shipped to Britain. Dilger was under suspicion as being a German agent, but was never arrested. Dilger eventually fled to Madrid, Spain, where he died during the Influenza Pandemic of 1918.[5] In 1916, the Russians arrested a German agent with similar intentions. Germany and its allies infected French cavalry horses and many of Russia’s mules and horses on the Eastern Front. These actions hindered artillery and troop movements, as well as supply convoys.[4]
