Essential Questions: How do the structures of organisms enable life’s functions? What happens to individuals within an ecosystem when the environment changes? Structures help organisms adapt to give them a better chance of survival. Structures could be many things. When you look at animals today you can see many things that give them advantages to survive in nature. A turtle is a great example because before they probably didn’t have shells or maybe softer shells. Ones with tougher shells are more

Hammer Head Shark Organ Structure and Functions The hammer head shark contains multiple organs that are suited for their environment in the Great Barrier Reef. Their skin‚ which is an integument organ‚ is made of an atmosphere of dermal denticles or placoid cells. These denticles and cells are tiny‚ hard‚ tooth like structure that makes the skin tough like sandpaper for protection. Their inner organs are much like that of a human. They contain the stomach‚ spleen‚ pancreas‚ rectum and the

Chapter 3 Cell Structure and Function Section 3.1: Cell Theory: Cells are the smallest building unit of living organisms that can carry out all processes required for life. Almost all cells are too small to see without the aid of a Microscope. Although glass lenses used to magnify images for hundreds of years‚ they were not enough to reveal individual cells. The invention of Compound microscope was in the late 1500s by the Dutch eyeglass maker Zacharias Janssen. In 1665‚ the English scientist

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

Energy in an utilizable form is something essential for the functioning of any organism. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are the two primary organelles in eukaryotic cells that involve in the transformation of energy‚ thus in production and consumption respectively. The chloroplast is an organelle present only in plant cells and some prokaryotes. At the same time they are absent in animal cells. It’s through the chloroplast that entry of energy to a cell takes place where sunlight is used to trap

Julia Babin Ms. Bukola 11/6/2012 Bio Lab W 8 Cell Structure and Function Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells do contain a nucleus. Organisms are eukaryotic except Bacteria and Achaea. Organelles are small membranous bodies‚ each with a specific structure and function. Prokaryotes do have cytoplasm‚ which is the material bounded by a plasma membrane and cell wall. This contains ribosomes‚ small granules that coordinate the synthesis of proteins

Lipids are made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen (phospholipids also contain phosphate) and are found in a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to eukaryotes where they perform a wide variety of useful functions. This essay will expand on these functions to describe the role of lipids. There are several types of lipid including triglycerides‚ steroids‚ waxes and phospholipids. Triglycerides are made up of three fatty acids combined with glycerol by an ester linkage meaning they are predominantly

Title: Temperate Grasslands Biome Description/ Definition: Temperate grassland covers large areas of the interior of continents‚ where there is moderate rainfall‚ but still too little for trees to grow (textbook). Climate and Location: The weather in the temperate grasslands includes hot summers and cold winters(Defender). Summers can reach up over 100 degree fahrenheit‚ and the winters can drop to 40 degree below 0 fahrenheit. Year round‚ the grasslands have about 10-35 inches of rain which mostly

"TEMPERATE GRASSLAND" Temperate grasslands are defined as places where grasses predominate over trees and shrubs. The name for this biome‚ temperate grasslands‚ is a great description for what it is like there. The most important plants in this biome are grasses. Two major kinds of grasslands in the world: • Savannas • Temperate grasslands. Savannas are defined as places where individual shrubs and trees are scattered among the grasses. Temperate grasslands: trees and shrubs are
