Looking Back at Bio 115 The Organism as a Unit of Life Cellular Structure (cell = unit of life)…one or many! Metabolism = Homeostasis (PSN, Resp, N 2 fix, ferment, etc. ) Growth = irreversible change in size Reproduction…failure = extinction Acclimatization-short term responses = behavior Adaptation-long term responses = evolution

Chlamydomonas cells of opposite mating type join in syngamy to form a zygote which develops a thick wall as a hypnospore. Upon return to better conditions, the zygote undergoes meiosis and releases flagellated cells of both mating types. http: //www. biology. wustl. edu/faculty/images/goodenoughcaption. jpg http: //www. isis. de/members/~ralfwagner/Bilder/Chlamydomonas_spec_Zygote. jpg

Ulva lactuca thallus http: //bio 59000. free. fr/Photosbio 59000/Biovegetale/Algues/Ulva%20 lactuca. gif

Ulva life cycle There are three isomorphic thalli: Some species of Ulva are anisogamous. isogametes syngamy + – Gametophytes + 1 N 2 N zygote settles on substrate Sporophyte – settle on substrate + – Since they are motile, + they are also called – zoospores. The meiospores made by the sporophyte are of two mating types. holdfast sporocyte meiosis The life cycle is: √ sporic: diplohaplontic gametic: diplontic zygotic: haplontic

Codium http: //massbay. mit. edu/exoticspecies/exoticmaps/images/codium_big. jpg

Oedogonium thallus http: //www. plingfactory. de/Science/Gru. Kla. Oeko/Teichleben/Algen/Oedogonium%20 sp. . jpg

Oedogonium Here the filaments are out of focus. The asexual zoospore is in focus. http: //www. botit. botany. wisc. edu/images/130/Chlorophyta/Oedogonium_Images/Zoospore_MC. low. jpg

Oogonium http: //www. rbgsyd. nsw. gov. au/__data/page/1810/Oedogonium. gif

Oedogonium This is the zoospore, or maybe it is the sperm. Both have the same look! http: //www. biologie. uni-hamburg. de/b-online/fo 44/18. jpg When both oogonium and antheridium appear on the same filament the alga is homothallic. http: //www. csupomona. edu/~jcclark/classes/bot 125/resource/graphics/g/chl_oedogonium. jpg

Oedogonium Life Cycle Since antheridia sperm and oogonia are on the same filaments, this species is homothallic. chemotaxis Vegetative zoospores can clone the gametophyte Zoospores settle down with a holdfast and grow into a filament. syngamy empty antheridia egg zygote (hypnospore) 1 N 2 N (in oogonium) The zygote divides meiotically to release 4 zoospores. meiosis This life cycle is haplontic (zygotic).
