Archaebacteria can withstand extreme environments. Eubacteria are the most abundant on the planet. Eukaryotic cells can multiply rapidly.
Important marine bacteria
cyanobacteria; Synechococcus, sulfur bacteria; Thiobacillus, nitrogen fixers; Rhizobium & Bradyrhizobium, methanogens, Methanococcus

9/4 Warm-up: Name each animal above's phyla and/or class.
Choose from: Hydrozoa, Anthozoa, Schyphozoa, Coelenterata, Bryozoa
9/8 Warm-up: Write about an organ or simple animal and include at least two cell types you think are vital to it's function. Submit here.
Useful websites:
Cell differentiation (start 16:08 to end)
Sponge harvesting & circulation
Jelly web cam
9/14 Warm-up: Use three levels of organization your description of your organ or simple animal.
ex. A jellyfish has three levels of organization. First it is an animal made up of specific cells like collar cells. These cell types work together like a tissue to bring water into the animal.
Submit here.
The Super Hero Cell Project-
Entry Doc
Present a simple animal or human organ where you specifically demonstrate form and functions of at least four cell types. You will need to discuss the main diseases that affect homeostasis in your organ/animal. Finally, you will argue for the cell(s) you find to be central to your organ/animal.

Lab: Squid dissection
Before class: Use the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Animal Guide: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animal-guide to name the mollusks in the slide show.
1. Lay the squid flat and name the external features you see (mantle, eyes, tentacles, arms, siphon and beak).
2. Make a posterior to anterior cut through the mantle. Hold the mantle away from the internal organs, so you don't disturb them while cutting.
3. Name as many internal structures as you can such as the gills, renal organs, ink sac, brachial heart, rectum and find the cartilaginous pen.
4. Answer the question guide below about cephalopods.

7/16 Segmentation: Annelids & Arthropods
Annelida: Polychaetae (worms of the sea) Arthropods: Crustacea (insects of the sea)
also leeches (hirudinea) & earthworms (oligochatetes) head, body thorax & exoskeleton jointed appendages
Lab: Dissect a crayfish
Lay the crustacean on it's side and identify as many parts as possible (abdomen, cephalothorax, appendages, carapace, chellipeds and maxillipeds).
Make a ventral to dorsal vertical cut through the carapace and remove it. Identify the gills and brain.
Check the bottom of the abdomen or telson and identify if you have a male or female (males have extra gonopod legs to transfer sperm to the females).
Answer the rest of the question guide about crustaceans.
