Biol - Introduction to Life Sciences 1.) Discuss how the surface area to volume ratio and the nuclear distance dictates cell division. 2.) Explain why most cell growth is initially fast, then slows as a cell ages. 3.) Describe how large cells overcome the difficulties of the surface area to volume ratio. 4.) Describe the components of the cell theory. 5.) Describe the characteristics of each of the kingdoms and describe examples of each. 6.) Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. What cell features are characteristic of each? 7.) Distinguish between autotrophs and heterotrophs and describe examples of each.

Step 1
This means that there is less surface area available for materials to enter and exit the cell, leading to inefficiencies in nutrient exchange. Show more…

1. How are levels of nature (and life) organized? What are these levels of organization? List them in order. What is the smallest unit that can be called life?____________ 2. List and describe the characteristics of life. Do some non-living things display these characteristics? 3. Discuss why it is important that citizens be knowledgeable about science. 4. Why do you think it is important for vaccinologists to use the scientific method to develop a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19? What could happen if a new vaccine isn't properly tested?

List the common characteristics of living things Describe the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Explain the common organelles of a eukaryotic cell) Describe basic structural differences between a plant and animal cells Explain the theory of the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts. Explain why membranes (internal and external ) are important for life Explain the importance of and characteristics of good model organisms (easy to manipulate genetics, easily grown in lab, has short reproductive cycle.)
Synthesis/Evaluation SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE This micrograph shows a single-celled eukaryote, the ciliate Didinium (left), about to engulf its Paramecium prey, which is also a ciliate. Identify the eukaryotic supergroup to which ciliates belong and describe the role of endosymbiosis in the evolutionary history of that supergroup. Are these ciliates more closely related to all other protists than they are to plants, fungi, or animals? Explain.
