• 5 lines• Skip Lines• How are the root system and the shoot system

connected by vascular tissue? (HINT) What are the two types of vascular tissue? (HINT)What materials travel up from the roots and down from the leaves?

Answer

• The root system and shoot system are connected by xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water & nutrients up to the leaves where the water can be used for photosynthesis. The phloem brings glucose, made during photosynthesis, back down to the stems & roots for storage.

rainforests and absorb water & nutrients from the air

Quick Write - Stomata

• 5 lines• Skip Lines

• Use your textbook pg. 360 to describe a STOMATA and then explain how they are involved in photosynthesis & respiration.

(be sure to use CO2, O2 & water)

Answer - Stomata

• Stomata are tiny openings on the bottom of leaves. They are used to control gas exchange. During photosynthesis CO2 comes in through the stomata and is used with water to create glucose and O2. The O2 then travels out of the stomata into the air. When the plant respires the exact opposite gas exchange occurs. While the stomata are open for gas exchange water vapor also escapes.

Plants Quick Write L-89

• 5 lines • Skip Lines

• What 3 things do plants need for photosynthesis? How do plants get those 3 things into their cells? (use xylem, phloem, transpiration, shoot system, root system)

Answer

• Plants need: CO2, water & light energy. They use the root system to absorb water and then move that water up to the leaves using xylem. The leaves absorb CO2 through their stomata and then use the light energy with the water to create glucose & O2. Leaves and stems are major parts of the shoot system. The O2 is release through the leaves and the glucose travels to the stems and roots through phloem. Most water a plant absorbs is lost through its leaves by transpiration.

Organic Compounds Notes (L-87)

Diffusion Observations

Set up the left hand side of your ISN to make 3 observations of your beaker at 30 sec. intervals:

Complete a type II writing:5 lines, skip lines – Explain your observations using the

terms: diffusion, water molecules, food dye molecules, high concentration, & low concentration

Time: Observations:

30 sec.

1 min.

1 min. 30 sec.

Diffusion Answer

• When the food dye molecules were added to the beaker the food dye molecules move from high conc., the drop, to low conc., the beaker. This movement of molecules from high to low represents diffusion. The water molecules are also moving from high conc., the beaker, to low conc., the drop. That is why we observed swirling in the beaker.

DNA Fingerprint Answers

1. Describe the process of DNA fingerprinting. – Basically the DNA must extracted from the cells and then an x-ray picture

is taken. The bands in the x-ray show the chemicals of DNA.

2. In what ways is it like actual fingerprinting and in what ways is it different?

-Actual fingerprints and DNA fingerprints can both be used to place a person at the scene of the crime. However, DNA fingerprints are chemical based while actual fingerprints are physical.

3. How conclusive is the evidence of DNA fingerprinting? - It is completely conclusive if the sample has not been contaminated.

4. Where is there possibility for error?- Errors can be made when the sample are collected.

Heredity Type II

• LEFT HAND SIDE• Type II writing• 5 lines• Skip Lines– What is the difference between GENOTYPE and

PHENOTYPE? (provide and example of each!)

Heredity Type II answer

• The difference between genotype and phenotype is that a genotype represents certain genes (alleles) that are inside cells. They CANNOT be seen. An example would be using -Bb- for eye color. A phenotype is the characteristic that is actually seen in the organism. An example would be a person’s brown eyes.

Type II – Evidence for Evolution

• The three types of EVIDENCE for EVOLUTION are: Fossil, Biological & Genetic. An example of fossil evidence are the bone imprints of ancient ancestors for modern animals. An example of biological evidence is the similar structures found in all mammals and an example of genetic evidence are the similarities in genes (DNA) between two closely related organisms

Pg. 185

1. Lamarck believed that aquired traits could be passed on by individuals but could not support his theory. Darwin showed how traits could be passed on by natural selection

2. Darwin noted that the finches beaks were adapted to their particular environments which meant they had evolved differently but shared a common ancestor

3. Isolation stops populations from interbreeding so new species evolve.

4. The third species most likely evolved from one of the two other species. Being isolated by the mountains new traits were being selected to fit the new environment.

5. White fur, it will help the hare blend in so it will not be seen by predators.

Isolation/Speciation

• On the left side of your ISN draw a new species of Chichlid. Focus on the characteristics of eye size, color, teeth, and fin shape.

• Consider the effect of the environment for each characteristic.

• Environment A: Shallow water near the shoreline, sandy bottom, only water plants available for food, many bird and land animal predators.

• Environment B: Deep water in the middle of the lake, rocky bottom, many smaller fish for food, no predators.

Snow Shoe Hare Flow Chart

• Variation: Fur Color; Choose one: light or dark

• Adaptation: How does the color increase its chances of survival?

• Selection: Who will mate and what will their offspring look like?

Snow Shoe Hare Flow Chart

• Variation: Fur Color (light vs. dark)– Light color

• Adaptation:– Blends in with environment

• Selection:– Less likely to be seen by predators so they survive

at higher rates, mate more often, their offspring have light colored fur.

Natural Selection pg. 182

• Overproduction:

• Variation:

• Adaptation:

• Selection:

Natural Selection pg. 182• Overproduction: Produce more offspring than could ever survive.

Only a few make it to adulthood and reproduce

• Variation: Organisms within a population have different characteristics

• Adaptation: Any inherited trait that gives an organism an advantage in its environment

• Selection: Certain adaptations help an organism survive better in certain environments. This allows them to reproduce and pass their traits to the next generation.

Symbiotic Relationships (answer the questions below on the BACK of your TEST)

Based on the descriptions below; classify each one as either Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism:

1. Egret eats insects off a cows back.2. Bacteria inside a humans digestion system3. Flowers & Bees4. Barnacle on a whale’s skin.5. Cowbird removes a sparrows eggs and lays their own

inside the nest. The sparrow incubates and raises the cowbird chicks.

Symbiotic Relationships Answers

• Egret/Cow – Commensalism: Egret gets food, cow not harmed or helped

• Bacteria/human – Mutualism: bacteria get food, human gets nutrients from bacteria’s waste

• Bee/flower – Mutualism: Bee polinates flowers, bee get nectar(food)

• Barnacle/whale – Commensalism: Barnacle gets a home, whale not harmed or helped.

• Cowbird/sparrow – Parasitism: sparrow loses offspring, cowbird gets more offspring

Type II - Deer/wolf

• Type II• 6 lines• SKIP LINES

• Why, when the wolf is a deer’s natural predator, should the population decrease?

Deer/wolf

• Both deer and wolves have to find enough FOOD, WATER, and LIVING SPACE to survive and reproduce. The reason the deer population eventually goes down after the wolves are removed is that the deer population becomes too large and they end up destroying the ecosystem. Therefore there is not enough food, water & living space for them to reproduce.

sure to mention 2 needs and 1 characteristic)

Living vs. nonliving

• A bacteria is living because bacteria need food and water. A bacteria must take in food and use it to produce energy for the cell to function. A bacteria needs water for it to absorb its food and digest it. Bacteria have the characteristic of reproduction because they can create huge populations in very short times. Cars cannot reproduce nor do they need water or food in order exist.
