Compare lysosomes They both store waste and removes waste and vacuoles to the excretory system. What organ system is The nucleus is similar to the nervous system the nucleus similar to? Compare the nucleus The both provide instructions for the functioning of the system and nervous system. Summary Cells are highly organized which allows for specialization of each cellular process. Through this specialization it ensures that each process occurs properly and efficiently within the cell. This is similar to how the body works as each system dedicated to a certain process that intertwine allowing for organisms to work as one unit. .

Microorganisms – Protists: Euglena
Microorganisms – Protists: Euglena Euglena are unicellular organisms classified into the Kingdom Protista, and the Phylum Euglenophyta. All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. They are not completely autotrophic though, euglena can also absorb food from their environment. Euglena usually live in quiet ponds or puddles. Euglena move by a flagellum (plural flagella), which is a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor. The flagellum is located on the anterior (front) end, and twirls in such a way as to pull the cell through the water. It is attached at an inward pocket called the reservoir. Color and label the reservoir grey. Color and label the flagellum black. The Euglena is unique in that it is both heterotrophic (must consume food) and autotrophic (can make its own food). Chloroplasts within the euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis and can be seen as several rod-like structures throughout the cell. Color and label the chloroplasts green. Euglena also have an eyespot at the anterior end that detects light, it can be seen near the reservoir. This helps the euglena find bright areas to gather sunlight to make their food. Color and label the eyespot red. Euglena can also gain nutrients by absorbing them across their cell membrane, hence they become heterotrophic when light is not available, and they cannot photosynthesize. The euglena has a stiff pellicle outside the cell membrane that helps it keep its shape, though the pellicle is somewhat flexible, and some euglena can be observed scrunching up and moving in an inchworm type fashion.

CHAPTER 4 the Integumentary System
CHAPTER 4 The Integumentary System LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to: • Name the two layers of the skin. • Name the accessory structures of the integumentary system. • Build and pronounce medical terms of the integumentary system. • Name the disorders and treatments relating to the integumentary system. • Name the major classifi cations of pharmacologic agents used to treat skin disorders. • Analyze and defi ne the new terms introduced in this chapter. • Interpret abbreviations associated with the integumentary system. 53 54 PART TWO • BODY SYSTEMS Introduction The largest organ of the body is the skin. The skin covers the entire body—more than 20 square feet on average—and weighs about 24 pounds. It is part of the integumentary system, which also includes the accessory structures: hair, nails, and sebaceous (oil) and sudoriferous (sweat) glands. Integumentum is Latin for “covering” or “shelter.” The physician who specializes in the diag- nosis and treatment of skin disorders is called a dermatologist (dermat/o being one of the com- bining forms for skin). Coupling the root dermat/o with the previously learned suffi x -logy gives us the term dermatology , which is the term for the specialty practice that deals with the skin. Word Elements The major word elements that relate to the integumentary system consist of various anatomical components, accessory structures, colors of the skin, and abnormal conditions. The Word Ele- ments table lists many of the roots, their meanings, and examples associated

Science-5-Nov-16-20 Circulatory-System.Pdf
Grade 5 Science Week of November 16 – November 20 Circulatory System Most of the cells inside of your body do not move. If a cell is hungry or needs to get rid of waste, it can’t simply move itself to the part of your body where it needs to go. Instead, your body must bring the food to your cells and take the waste away from them. By using billions of tiny tubes the circulatory system transports substances around our bodies. It delivers essential nutrients to every cell, and it transports waste products to waste-disposal sites—the lungs, the skin, and the kidneys. The circulatory system is an organ system that includes the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood itself. It has three functions: 1. to transport materials (i.e., nutrients and oxygen) and cells from one place to another 2. to defend the body against invasion by harmful organisms by taking white blood cells to an area of injury or infection 3. to maintain a constant body temperature Introduction Your body has a network of blood vessels—hollow tubes—that move blood and nutrients. A pumping organ—the heart—pushes blood through this network of vessels. Watch this video to start looking at this incredible system: https://youtu.be/tF9-jLZNM10 Complete the following. 1) Fill in the blanks: 1. Most of the cells inside of your body ________________ .

A Physicochemical Perspective of Aging from Single-Cell Analysis Of
TOOLS AND RESOURCES A physicochemical perspective of aging from single-cell analysis of pH, macromolecular and organellar crowding in yeast Sara N Mouton1, David J Thaller2, Matthew M Crane3, Irina L Rempel1, Owen T Terpstra1, Anton Steen1, Matt Kaeberlein3, C Patrick Lusk2, Arnold J Boersma4*, Liesbeth M Veenhoff1* 1European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands; 2Department of Cell Biology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, United States; 3Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, United States; 4DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials, Aachen, Germany Abstract Cellular aging is a multifactorial process that is characterized by a decline in homeostatic capacity, best described at the molecular level. Physicochemical properties such as pH and macromolecular crowding are essential to all molecular processes in cells and require maintenance. Whether a drift in physicochemical properties contributes to the overall decline of homeostasis in aging is not known. Here, we show that the cytosol of yeast cells acidifies modestly in early aging and sharply after senescence. Using a macromolecular crowding sensor optimized for long-term FRET measurements, we show that crowding is rather stable and that the stability of crowding is a stronger predictor for lifespan than the absolute crowding levels. Additionally, in aged cells, we observe drastic changes in organellar volume, leading to crowding on the *For correspondence: micrometer scale, which we term organellar crowding. Our measurements provide an initial [email protected] framework of physicochemical parameters of replicatively aged yeast cells.
