In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions.
In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific jobs.
![Page 3: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Multicellular Kingdoms
Almost all multi-cellular organisms belong to the plant, fungi, and animal kingdoms.
![Page 4: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Levels of Organization
Begins with the cell.
Cells that perform the same job join together to form tissue.
The tissues join together to make an organ, and organs that work together form an organ system.
![Page 5: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Organ Systems lead to Organisms
Different organ systems have specific purposes in an organism. › Nervous: respond to environment› Muscular: movement and heat› Respiratory: inhale O2 and exhale CO2› Circulatory: delivers O2 in blood and
remove CO2 in blood› Digestive: breaks down food
![Page 6: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Adaptations and Reproduction
![Page 7: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Adaptation
An adaptation is any inherited characteristic that increases the change of an organism’s survival and reproduction. › Getting energy › Shape/structure of body› Behavior
![Page 8: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Adaptation
When an organism reproduces an offspring with a unique trait, it is considered an adaptation if it is helpful/advantageous.
![Page 9: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Adaptation Examples - Fox
Fennec fox: desert fox; large ears keep it cool and fur color helps it blend.
Arctic fox: cold north; small ears, legs, and nose reduce heat loss; winter coat is thicker and white.
Red fox: grasslands/woodlands; body fur helps it blend with its surroundings.
![Page 10: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Adaptation
Adaptations result in diversity through sexual reproduction. › The DNA in the offspring is not the same as
the DNA in the parent.
![Page 11: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Review…
Meiosis produces gametes (1n/haploid) cells, containing only one copy of DNA.
When male and female gametes are joined, fertilization occurs and the DNA from both parents are combined to form the new offspring.
![Page 12: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Review…
Most multicellular organisms reproduce by sexual reproduction; some can reproduce asexually (one parent).
Budding– second organism grows off parent; identical DNA.

![Page 15: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Photosynthesis
Plants take in water + CO2 + sun energy
Turn it into glucose (sugar) and oxygen
Mostly take place in the leaves, which are green because of…? › Chloroplasts
![Page 16: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Autotrophs
Plants are also called autotrophs, which means “self-feeder”.
Algae and some bacteria/protists are also able to use photosynthesis. › Plants are a different type of producer
because they have specialized cells to story energy excess energy is stored as starch.
![Page 17: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Releasing Stored Energy
When plants need to release energy, the starch is broken down and cellular respiration occurs.
![Page 18: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Adapting to Environments
Leaves, stems, and roots allow plants to live on land.
Grass: deep roots, produce seeds quickly, and can grow in various areas.
![Page 19: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Adapting to Environments
Trees: cannot survive in harsh conditions, but different types of trees can survive in different areas.
› Coniferous: (pine) do better is cold climates; needle-shaped leaves stay green.
› Deciduous: (maple) need long growing season and loses leaves in cold temps.
![Page 20: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Adapting to Environments

![Page 21: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adapting to Environments
Specific Needs: › Venus Fly Trap: leaves fold to capture
insects; fluids given off by the leaves break down the body, and nutrients are given off to the plant.
![Page 22: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chapter 2: Intro to Multicellular Organisms
Plants Respond to their Environment
![Page 23: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Responding to Environments
Plants can respond to a stimulus: something that produces a response from an organism. › Gravity, touch, and light
![Page 24: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Responding to Gravity
Plants respond to gravity and have a sense of up and down.
![Page 25: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Responding to Touch
Some plants have special stems called tendrils.
These plants grow in close contact with another object to help raise it closer to the sunlight.
![Page 26: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Responding to Light
Stems and leaves grow toward light because they have a special hormone: chemical substance that is produced in one part of the organism and creates a reaction.
Auxin
![Page 27: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Responding to Light
Step 1: sunlight stimulates production of auxins at the tip of the stem.
Step 2: auxin moves to cells on dark side.
Step 3: cells with auxin grow longer cells, causing them to bend to light.
![Page 28: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Responding to Seasonal Changes
Shorter daylight (fall/winter) means less time to capture sunlight.
Many plants go into dormancy, causing them to temporarily stop growing.
Trees and other plants can survive the winter, and grow leaves back. Other plants must be replanted every year.
![Page 29: In single-celled, one cell performs ALL functions. In multi-cellular, different cells perform different functions. › They are specialized to do specific](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649f3f5503460f94c603cd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
