gas exchange & Transport

What is Gas Exchange? (the gases: oxygen and carbon dioxide)

How does it occur in cells? (cell membrane and diffusion, concentration, high to low.

The role of oxygen (cellular respiration, mitochondria, ATP)

In humans: Lungs, respiratory organs,

Aerobic vs. anaerobic respiration

Why is a transport system important for multicellular organism?

How do humans transport nutrients and oxygen?

How does our heart function?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ligula suspendisse nulla pretium, rhoncus tempor fermentum, enim integer ad vestibulum volutpat. Nisl rhoncus turpis est, vel elit,

your organism

How does your organism exchange gases?

Respiratory and/or circulatory organs present? (If any)

what are the oxygen demands of your organism? Low? High? Varying?

fun facts?

How are materials transported throughout the body?

Blood? Blood proteins?

can it perform aerobic/anaerobic respiration?

What is DNA? What is the molecule composed of? Nitrogenous base pairs?

Chromosomes; diploid/haploid, genes.

How does a particular sequence of bases create a protein (transcription/translation, mRNA, tRNA, RNA polymerase, codon, anticodon)

How can traits be manipulated in organisms? Mutations:DNA be changed (mutations coding for new amino acids)? Cloning. Selective breeding. Gene splicing.

Inheritance: Dominant and recessive genes. How can we predict traits? Sex-linked traits.

Reproduction: What is the advantage of reproducing SEXUALLY?

In humans, how are gametes made?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ligula suspendisse nulla pretium, rhoncus tempor fermentum, enim integer ad vestibulum volutpat. Nisl rhoncus turpis est, vel elit, your organism

Average number of chromosomes? Haploid/diploid number?

fun facts?

Is there sexual dimorphism? (Meaning, is there a difference between male and females)

genetics & reproduction

how does your organism reproduce? Is there courtship?

How do the offspring develop? Are there stages of development? How long in each stage?

What is evolution? (hint: mention allele frequency)

How can allele frequency change? (Genetic drift, migration, mutation, natural selection)

Give an example of how natural selection can occur.

Why geographic isolation can drive change over time?


how “old” is your species?

fun facts?

what adaptations does your species have that show it is perfectly suited to survive in its environment?

Evolution

has COEVOLUTION occurred with other species?

What came before and after; time line highlighting what time period your group sits

What is ecology? Types of studies performed by ecologists?

What are: biomes, ecosystems, habitats, niches?

What are some interactions that occur within a population? (competition, etc)

What are some interactions that occur within a community? (pred/prey, symbiosis)

Explain how energy moves through a typical ecosystem.

Describe how humans actions can negatively affect an ecosystem.


What is your organism’s niche?

fun facts?

Trophic level? Position in the food chain?

ecology

interactions with other species?

Home? Biome? Environmental conditions? Climate? Water temps preferred?
