CHAPTER I- ORIGINS OF LIFE ON EARTH

THEORIES ON THE ORIGIN OF LIFE 1) CREATIONISM- A BELIEF THAT A DIVINE BEING CREATED EACH TYPE OF ORGANISM SEPARATELY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD. 

MICHAELANGELO- THIS CREATIONISM WAS HIS AND REMAINED UNCHALLENGED NOT UNTIL 18TH CENTURY.

2) SPONTANEOUS GENERATION- ARISTOTLE BELIEVED THAT LIFE COULD COME INTO BEING BY ITSELF FROM NONLIVING MATERIALS.  JEAN BAPTISTE VON HELMONT - WHEAT KERNELS + DIRTY SHIRT + 21 DAYS= MICE - APPEARANCE OF MAGGOTS IN MEAT - APPEARANCE OF BEETLES AND WASP IN COW DUNG - MICE ARISE FROM THE MUD OF THE NILE  ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOEK- DISCOVERED ANIMALCULES OR LITLE ANIMALS WHILE USING LENSES.  JOHN NEEDHAM - BOILED MEAT BROTH = TRANSFERRED CONTAINER = INCUBATE = CLOUDY BROTH - BOTH GAVE RISE TO ANIMALCULES. 3) BIOEGENESIS- EXPLAINED THAT LIFE COULD COME ONLY FROM PREEXISTING LIFE.  FRANCESCO REDI- NO MAGGOTS GREW ON THE CLOSED CONTAINER.  LAZARO SPALLENZANI- REPEATED NEEDHAM’S EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENCE: CONTAINER WAS SEALED AND BROTH WAS NOT TRANSFFERED.  LOUIS PASTEUR- TESTED YEAST SOUP IN A VARIETY OF CONTAINERS.

HETEROTROPH- AN ORGANISM THAT IS UNABLE TO MAKE ITS OWN FOOD. AUTOTROPHS- ARE ORGANISMS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THEIR OWN FOOD.

CHAPTER II- MANIFESTATIONS OF LIFE MANIFESTATIONS OF LIFE 1) CELLULAR ORGANIZATION  CELL- BASIC STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF LIFE IN NEARLY ALL TYPES OF ORGANISMS.  CELL THEORY - ALL ORGANISMS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS - CELL IS ALSO A UNIT OF FUNCTION OF ALL ORGANISMS - CELLS ARISE FROM PRE-EXISTING CELLS - CELL CONTAINTS CONTAINS HEREDITARY MATERIAL(NUCLEIC ACID) THROUGH WHICH SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS ARE PASSED FROM PARENT TO DAUGHTER CELL 2) METABOLISM- SUM TOTAL OF ALL CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROCESSES WITHIN THE BODY.  ANABOLISM- BUILDING PROCESSES LIKE PHOTOSYNTHESIS.  CATABOLISM- BREAKDOWN PROCESSES LIKE CELLULAR RESPIRATION.  AUTOTROPHIC- ORGANISMS THAT CAN CAPTURE INORGANIC ENERGY. 3) REPRODUCTION- A PROCESS IN WHICH ONE OR TWO PARENT ORGANISMS FORM A NEW ORGANISM.  ASEXUAL- AN ORGANISM FORMED BY ONE PARENT.  SEXUAL- TAKES PLACE WHEN NUCLEI OF AN EGG AND SPERM FUSE TO FORM A NEW INDIVIDUAL.  GAMETES/SEXCELLS- WHEN TWO CELLS FUSE THROUGH COPULATION. 4) GROWTH- OCCURS IN CELL DIVISION. 5) RESPONSIVENESS- STIMULI, THE LIVING PROTOPLAST IS CAPABLE OF RESPONDING TO EXTERNAL CONDITIONS. 6) EVOLUTION- THE ABILITY OF THE ORGANISM TO EVOLVE.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM  MUSCLE FIBERS- ABILITY TO MOVE DEPENDS UPON A GROUP OF SPECIALIZED CONTRACTILE CELLS.  PHYSIOLOGY OF THE MUSCLE ACTIVITY - SIMPLE TWITCH- A MUSCULAR RESPONSE. 1) LATENT PERIOD- IN A SINGLE ADEQUATE STIMULUS IN A MUSCLE, THERE IS A BRIEF INTERVAL DURING WHICH NO CONTRACTION OCCURS. 2) CONTRACTION 3) RELAXATION - 80 PERCENT OF MUSCLE- WATER. INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM  SKIN- LARGEST ORGAN IN THE HUMAN BODY. - EPIDERMIS- OUTER LAYER, COMPOSED OF 20 LAYERS OF DEAD CELLS WHICH ARE CONSTANTLY BEING SHED AND REPLACED BY NEW CELLS. - KERATIN- ROUGH, LEATHERY AND WATER-PROOF FEATURES OF SKIN IS DUE TO A PROTEIN CALLED THIS. - HORNY LAYER- FLATTENED, DEAD AND SCALELIKE CELLS. - GERMINATIVE LAYER- MORE ACTIVE AND LARGER INNER PART. - HAIR AND NAILS- MADE UP PRIMARILY OF KERATIN. - DERMIS- INNER LAYER OF THE SKIN.

THIS PREVENTS THE HAIR SHAFT OF THE SKIN FROM DRYING AND BREAKING OFF. - MELANIN- SKIN PIGMENT PRODUCED IN THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE EPIDERMIS, HELPS DETERMINE THE SKIN COLOR AND ABSORBS HARMFUL UV LIGHT.

CHAPTER VII- HOMEOSTASIS DIFFUSION  CELLULAR HOMEOSTASIS- DEPENDENT ON THE CELL MEMBRANE WHEREIN NEEDED SUBSTANCES CAN BE MOVED IN AND OTHER SUBSTANCES CAN BE MOVED OUT.  DIFFUSION- PROCES BY WHICH MOLECULES MOVE FROM AN AREA OF HIGHER CONCENTRATION TO AN AREA OF LOWER CONCENTRATION.  CONCENTRATION GRADIENT- DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE ACROSS SPACE.  SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE- CELL MEMBRANES ARE THESE, THEY REGULATE WHAT GETS INTO AND OUT OF A CELL SINCE ONLY SOME SUBSTANCES ARE ALLOWED TO PASS THROUGH.  OSMOSIS- WATER MOLECULES DIFFUSE THROUGH A MEMBRANE FROM AN AREA OF GREATER CONCENTRATION TO AN AREA OF LESSER CONCENTRATION.  WATER- MAIN SOLVENT IN THE CELL.  TONICITY- MEASURE OSMOTIC PRESSURE GRADIENT. - HYPOTONIC- LOWER CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTES OUTSIDE THE CELL THAN INSIDE THE CELL. MORE WATER GOES IN THE CELL ENLARGES. - HYPERTONIC- HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTES OUTSIDE THE CELL THAN INSIDE THE CELL. MORE WATER GOES OUT THE CELL COLLAPSES. - ISOTONIC- WHEN THE SOLUTE MOLECULES OUTSIDE AND INSIDE ARE EQUAL.  TURGOR PRESSURE- IN PLANT CELLS, AS WATER DIFFUSES INTO A CELL BY OSMOSIS IT BUILDS UP A PRESSURE.  WALL PRESSURE- CELL WALL EXERTS AN EQUAL PRESSURE WHEN THERE IS TURGOR PRESSURE.  PLASMOLYSIS- ABSENCE OF TURGOR PRESSURE MAY CAUSE SHRINKING.  PASSIVE TRANSPORT- DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS, REFERS TO MOVEMENT OF ANY SUBSTANCE ACROSS A MEMBRANE WITHOUT THE USE OF CHEMICAL ENERGY.  ACTIVE TRANSPORT- SUBSTANCE MOVES ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE FROM AN LOWER CONCENTRATION TO HIGHER CONCENTRATION WITH THE USE OF CHEMICAL ENERGY.  ENDOCYTOSIS AND EXOCYTOSIS- PART OF THE CELL’S MAINTENANCE OF HOMEOSTASIS.  ENDOCYTOSIS- PROCESS BY WHICH CELLS ENGULF OR TAKE IN SUBSTANCES THAT ARE MUCH TOO LARGE TO ENTER THE CELL MEMBRANE.  EXOCYTOSIS- LARGE MOLECULES PASS OUT OF THE CELL.  REGULATION OF BODY FLUIDS

EXTRACELLULAR FLUID- MUST REMAIN CONSTANT AROUND CELLS OF THE BODY AND IT OCCURS AS TISSUE FLUIDS BETWEEN CELLS AND AS PLASMA IN THE BLOOD. - CEREBROSPINAL FLUID- FLUID IN THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CHORD. - 2 IMPORTANT WAYS IN WHICH COMPOSITION OF BODY FLUIDS IS REGULATED 1) OSMOREGULATION (WATER BALANCE) 2) REMOVAL OF NITROGENOUS WASTES. OSMOREGULATION- REFERS TO CONTROL OF WATER AND SALT BALANCE IN THE BODY.

EXCRETORY SYSTEM  EXCRETION- THE PROCESS BY WHICH SUCH WASTE PRODUCTS ARE REMOVED FROM AN ORGANISM’S BODY.  EXRETION IN PLANTS - CARBON DIOXIDE- IS A WASTE PRODUCT WHICH LEAVES THE PLANT VIA THE STOMATES AND LENTICELS. - TRANSPIRATION- WATER IS LOST THROUGH THIS AND THROUGH THE STOMATES OF THE LEAVES. - GUTTATION- WATER IS FORCED OUT OF THE PLANT THROUGH SPECIAL PORES IN THE LEAVES CALLED HYDATHODES. OCCURS WHEN THERE IS LITTLE OR NO TRANSPIRATION TAKING PLACE WHICH IS USUALLY DURING THE NIGHT.  HUMAN EXCRETION - KIDNEY- BEAN SHAPED ORGANS LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPINAL COLUMN AND EXTENDING SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE WAIST. - ONE MILLION NEPHRONS- NUMBER OF NEPHRONS THAT A KIDNEY CONTAINS. - NEPHRON- IS FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF THE KIDNEY IN WHICH BLOOD IS FILTERED AND URINE IS FORMED. 1) GLOMERULUS- SERVES AS THE PRESSURE FILTER FOR THE BLOOD. 2) RENAL TUBULE- THROUGH WHICH THE FLUID THAT HAS BEEN FILTERED OUT PASSES. 3) BOWMAN’S CAPSULE- SURROUNDS THE GLOMERULUS. A) PROXIMAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE B) LOOP OF HENLE C) DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE- CONNECTED TO A COLLECTING TUBULE WHICH CONDUCTS A NEWLY-FORMED URINE TO THE PELVIS. - URINE- CONDUCTED THROUGH IT BY PERISTALTIC CONTRACTION OF THE MUSCULAR WALL. - URINARY BLADDER- COLLECTS AND STORES THE URINE. - FUNCTIONS OF A KIDNEY 1) FILTRATION 2) REABSORPTION

3) SECRETION TUBULAR SECRETION- PROCESS BY WHICH SUBSTANCES SUCH AS HYDROGEN AND POTASSIUM IONS AND VARIOUS FOREIGN SUBSTANCES SUCH AS PENICILLIN ARE ACTIVELY SECRETED INTO THE TUBULE. ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE- REGULATES THE PERMEABILITY OF THE COLLECTING DUCT WHICH INCREASES PERMEABILITY, RETAINING WATER IN THE BODY. URINE- 96% WATER, 1.5% SALTS AND 2.5% ORGANIC WASTES, MAINLY UREA. UROCHROME- RESPONSIBLE FOR THE YELLOW COLOR OF URINE, A BREAKDOWN PRODUCT OF HEMOGLOBIN. NEPHRITIS- A BACTERIAL INFECTION OF THE KIDNEY CELLS. UREMIA- WHICH MAY POISON THE BLOOD. DIABETES MELLITUS- EXCESS OF GLUCOSE IN THE BLOOD WHICH MAY RESULT IN TURN IN THE PASSAGE OF SOME GLUCOSE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY VIA THE EURINE.
