In single-celled living things, or organisms, all of the actions that are needed for life happen in just one cell. “Life as a Single Cell All living things have some of the same needs. They need to take in food and get rid of wastes. They need to break down food to use and store energy. They also need to grow and reproduce, or have offspring. These needs are called life processes. Single- celled organisms carry out all of their life processes in one coll. You can see most single-celled organisms only with a microscope. Because of this, they are called microorganisms. Bacteria, which can sometimes make you sick, are one kind of microorganism. A diatom is a cell inside a shell. Diatoms live in fresh and salty water. They are an important food eaten by fish and whales. Interactions with Larger Organisms Single-celled organisms are everywhere. Helpful single-celled bacteria break down dead animals and plants. Bacteria also help to make foods such as yogurt and cheese. In fact, your body needs some kinds of bacteria to break down, or digest, foods. Other bacteria can make you sick when they enter your body. Antibiotics are medicines that kill harmful bacteria without hurting the good cells in your body. Algae and yeasts are other helpful single-celled organisms. Like plants, algae give Off oxygen, which goes into the air for you to breathe. Getting Food All organisms need energy. Some make their own food, Others take in or eat food from the outside. Single-celled organisms get food in different ways. An amoeba stretches itself around fod, making a bag, or vacuole, around the food. The food is digested and then taken into © the cytoplasm, A Paramecium gets food in a different way.

Since 1846, it has been the official border of Texas and Mexico, Rio Grande Geography The Rio Grande is either the fourth or fifth longest river system in North America, It all depends on how itis measured. Because the river twists so much, it o¢casionally changes course. And these course shifts can cause it to be longer or shorter. At its last official measure, the Rio Grande clocked in at 1,896 miles. The river starts in Colorado and extends downward to the Gulf of Mexico, Downward is the best way of describing it too. Not only does the river extend south, but it also ‘starts in the mountains and gets lower and lower in elevation as it extends to the Gulf lts name is Spanish for the “Big River," but the Rio Grande is actually known as Rlo Bravo in Mexico. “Bravo" translates as “furious,” so the name makes sense. Because of its twists and turns, it certainly does seem to be angrier than most rivers! ‘The Rio Grande Today ‘The Rio Grande today is mostly used as @ source of drinking water. Sadly, much of the water has been drained from the river. Parts of the river are almost cry!

The ancient Maya were amazing people who built a great civilization in Mesoamerica. That fact alone is @ reason to find them interesting, But one of the most fascinating questions about ancient Maya civilization (200-900 CE) is what happened to cause it to end. Archaeologists believe that the Maya left their cities sometime between 800 and 900. It's possible this event happened over just a few decades. Until the 900s, the : The Maya bul great cies. No one knows for sure why Maya kept careful historical records. They used ‘hey were abandoned hieroglyphs to carve names and dates on pyramids and temples. Then in the 900s, the writing mysteriously stopped. The temples and pyramids began to fall into disrepair. So what happened? Archaeologists have theories, but they can't find clear proof for any one of them. One theory holds that farmers rose up against the priests and nobles. But this raises another question: what happened to the farmers? There is no evidence of a new group of people replacing the old ones in power. ‘Some have guessed that disease wiped out the Maya population. But no mass burial grounds have been found. Archaeologists have found signs that some people in this area did die from diseases. Almost all of these deaths, however, seemed to have occurred after 1500, when the Spanish brought new diseases to the Americas. The Maya had been gone for years before that. Did disaster strike the Maya? Did drought or heavy rainfall bring famine? Was there an earthquake? Did shifting trade routes affect the lowland Maya rulers and their settlements? Could invaders have toppled the civilization? 'No one knows for sure. We only know that the once-great Maya cities were abandoned and swallowed up by the rain forest. The Maya scattered. But the people themselves did not disappear. Today, millions sl speak languages related to ancient Mayan. These ancestors of the pyramid-builders have lived in villages, towns, and cities in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras for centuries. They have a rich heritage, one that we are learning more about with each passing year. Feeder cig ©2017 RoaiiVons®, ne.

Multicellular Organisms Multicellular organisms are made up of more than one cell. In these organisms, the cells work together to keep life processes going. The cells are specialized, which means they only do certain jobs. By working together, these cells help an organism stay alive. Cells come in many shapes and sizes. The shape of a cell often matches the job it does. Nerve calls are long and have many branches, like a tree. This shape helps them take electrical messages, or impulses, all over the body, Cells in multicellular organisms are sorted, or organized, into different levels. The levels start out simple and get more complex. First, cells are organized into tissues. A tissue is a large group of specialized cells that are alike. Tissue comes in many types. Muscle tissue, for example, is made of long groups, or bundles, of muscle cells. Different types of tissues make up organs. An organ is @ group of tissues that work together to do a certain job. The heart, brain, and stomach are organs. Organs are organized into organ systems. An organ system is a group of organs : that work together to do a certain job. Most multicellular organisms have a number of organ systems that come together to form the total organism, Organism) Organ system Organ Tissue The circulatory system is the organ system that brings oxygen and nutrients to all the Circulatory System cells in an animal's body. It also takes carbon dioxide and wastes away from the cells. In humans and many other animals, the heart is the most important organ in the circulatory system. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood back to the heart.

Asa result, he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities, but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good. He begged his mother for months for a guitar so that he could play Black Eyed Peas songs to Angie, a girl he liked, but after he finally got one for Christmas, he found out that guitars don’t play themselves, He took a few lessons, but strumming the strings hurt his fingers and he didn’t like holding the pick, so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed. After reading an ad in the back of one of his comic books, Jacob decided that he wanted a Wonder ‘Sweeper 5000 metal detector, so that he could find buried pirate treasure. So he mowed lawns all summer and didn’t spend his money on ice-cream like his younger brother, Alex. He saved it all ina shoe box in his closet. Then he shoveled driveways all winter, and he didn’t spend his money on candy and chips like his classmates. By the time spring came he had saved $200, and he purchased the Wonder-Sweeper 5000 metal detector. He beeped it around the park for a while, be he soon found out that no pirates had ever set sail in his neighborhood, and if they had they didn’t leave any treasure. Even though he found a key ring, forty-seven cents, and all the bottle caps he could throw, he buried the metal detector in his closest. Given Jacob's history with hobbies, it was no surprise that Jacob’s father was reluctant to buy him a magician’ kit for his birthday. “Geez, Jacob... You sure you wouldn't rather I got you more guitar lessons?” He suggested. Jacob was insistent. “Dad, you've got to get me the magician’s kit. This time Pll stick with it for real, 1 promise! Come on, Dad,” Jacob begged. Jacob's father sighed and then replied, “Oh, I don’t know, Jacob, Things are awfully tight right now.” But Jacob’s father wes reminded of his own youth long ago, when he quit football and started karate practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty. So when Jacob's birthday came around, Jacob was both surprised and pleased to find the magician's kit that he had desired so badly with a big bright bow on it. Jacob opened up the box and unwrapped the many parts in the kit. As he did so, he imagined sawing his pet cat in half and putting it back together to the amazement of his friends and family. Hle took the many fake coins, trick cards, and rope pieces of varying length on the kitchen table and imagined pulling rabbits out of his hat and tuming them into pigeons with a mysterious puff of smoke. As Jacob continued pulling plastic thumbs, foam balls, and giant playing cards out of the magic kit, a commercial on the TV caught his attention. “Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to go to space? Experience what it's like to be an astronaut? Do you want to explore the universe? Well, now you can.” As the commercial continued playing, Jacob walked away from the magic kit on the kitchen table and stared at the TV screen longingly. “For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend. Enroll now for a once ina life time experience.” Jacob's cry rang throughout the house as he yelled, “MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was. a12, Which happened first in the text? a, Jacob asked his dad for the magician’s kit, b.

Every society has developed its own style of architecture. Many societies found ways to constr enormous bulldings that were used for religious purposes. ‘Some of the most impressive early architects were the ancient Egyptians. They lived thousands of years ago In Egypt, a country in the northem part of Africa. The Egyptian pharaohs constructed huge buildings in the shape of pyramids to house their bodies after they died. Pharaohs ruled Egyptian society. They were like kings, but the Egyptians also believed that pharaohs had powers from the gods. The pharaohs thought that the pyramids would be their home after they died and filled them with furniture, gold jewelry, and even pets. Now the ancient Egyptian society has vanished, but the pyramids are still found in Egypt. Today, pyramids all over Egypt stand as a reminder of the vanished ancient Egyptian culture. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. Egyptian pyramids have a square base with four triangular sides that rise up to a single point. Some of the pyramids are mare than 4,500 years old. For thousands of years, the Egyptian pyramids were the tallest manmade structures in the world. The Great Pyramid of Giza is 480 feet above the ground. That's as tall as many of the skyscrapers in New York City. Historians believe that it took between 20,000 and 30,000 people to help build the Great Pyramid, The pyramid was built out of giant blocks of limestone, a type of rock found in Egypt. The rocks had to be brought from far away on boats on the Nile River. One thousand years later, on the other side of the globe, the ancient Mayan civilization also decided to build pyramids. The Maya Empire was a vast empire that stretched from the area of what is now known ‘as Mexico to Central America. They understood astronomy and had very complex calendars that they Used to mark the date and time. The Mayan pyramids looked different from the pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians.

Plant Cells and Animal Cells All living things are made of cells. All cells need food, water, and a way to eliminate wastes. A single cell is the smallest structure that carries out the activities necessary for life. Different structures in the cell do different things. One part gets food or water. Another part keeps the cell clean. Siill other parts are in charge of reproduction. Like the parts of a factory, all parts of the cells must work together to run smoothly. An organism cannot survive without cells doing their work. Animal cells and plants cells look ‘different, but all cells have three parts: cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The cell membrane is the outer covering of the cell. Water and food enter through the cell membrane, and wastes leave through it. Plant cells have an extra structure called the cell wall. The cell wall adds more support to a plant cell. The nucleus is the control center for the cell. It directs all cell activities. The cytoplasm in animal and plant cells is a gel-like substance that surrounds all parts of the cell within the membrane. The cytoplasm contains the nucleus and the cell's organelles. An organelle is a cell part with a particular job. Plants have special organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts use energy from the Sun to combine water and carbon dioxide to make food for the cell. Cell Transportation The cell membrane holds matter inside but allows water, gases, and wastes to pass through it. In passive transport, matter moves into or out of the cell without using any of the cell's energy. The simplest kind of passive transport is diffusion. Diffusion spreads substances through a gas or liquid. You can smell dinner across the room because food molecules diffuse through the air. Diffusion also transports many gases into and out of cells. ‘Substances diffuse from areas with more matter to areas with less matter. One special form of diffusion is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane. The membrane often stops many substances that are dissolved in the water. Osmosis keeps water inside cells. Sometimes a cell needs to move materials opposite to the way diffusion would move them. In active transport, substances move from areas with less matter to areas with more matter. The cell must use energy to do this. Large proteins in the cell membrane often help move materials in and out. The proteins act as tunnels that allow only certain materials to pass. Scientists study these proteins for clues to how the cell operates. ‘wwivicharcourtschoolsupply.com 17 Life Science © Houghton hittin Harcourt Publishing Company Core Skils Scence, 63 SV 9781419098468to ee 488 i Name Date What Do Cells Do?

They preserved their dead rulers because they believed that the dead needed their bodies for the journey to the afterlife. The ancient Egyptians didn't forget about Pharaoh's best friend, either. When a king's favorite pet died, the ancient Egyptians mummified the animal in much the same way as they mummified humans. They then buried the mummified pet in separate casket alongside its owner. "The Egyptians loved their pets,” she told reporters. "Pet mummies are particularly nice, because you get an idea of ancient Egyptians’ love for their animals.” Gifts to the Gods Beloved pets weren't the only animals the ancient Egyptians mummified. They mummified birds, fish, shrews, and even monkeys. They mummified some animals as gifts to the gods. For example, worshipers of Thoth, a wise god whom the ancient Egyptians believed invented written and spoken language, often offered him a mummified ibis (a type of bird) or a baboon asa gift. Those who worshiped the goddess Bastet; daughter of the sun god Ra, often mummified cats in her honor. Many ancient Egyptians also mummified the remains of animals that they considered sacred, such as cats, cows, hawks, and falcons. Others believed animals such as bulls and crocodiles were the living spirits of the gods. The ancient Egyptians pampered these animals, making sure they were superbly well cared for and fed. "Animal mummies are very, very important, because we can learn not only about the ancient environment~many of these animals are now extinct in Egypt-but also about ancient Egyptians’ beliefs,” Ikram said. Modern Mummies For nearly 20 years, Ikram has been studying the dead of ancient Egypt, becoming an Tag. 6 207 Renan, he Ni apavoared ks.org - © 2017 RaadWorke®, Inc.

This system carries oxygen to the body, removes carbon dioxide and other wastes, and helps keep your body temperature constant, The circulatory system includes your heatt, arteries, and veins. At the kidneys, it connects to the urinary system. The urinary system helps control the amount of water and salt in the blood and removes liquid wastes. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body. The oxygen is then diffused into the blood. The respiratory system includes the lungs. ‘The muscular system and the skeletal system support all parts of your body and allow you to move. Bones and muscles make up these systems. Bones support muscles, The brain is the center of the nervous system. All your senses feed information into the brain, which processes and responds to this information. The brain often sends signals down nerves to muscles. The brain also controls the other organ systems. Your skin is also an organ system. The inside and outside layers of skin cells protect you from injury and keep in moisture. Three organ systems help your body fight infection and allow you to eat and reproduce. Another system produces hormones that control many body functions. Brain and Nervous System Endocrine System Your body's endoorine system works like a chemical messenger system. The glands of the endocrine system act like communication centers. These glands make and send out hormones. A hormone acts as a message. It travels through the blood and is picked up only by certain cells. Humans use about 50 different hormones, Some help to control growth and energy use. Others control blood sugar, minerals, and other chemicals. Some hormones cause specific changes in the body, For example, growth hormones cause dramatic changes in muscles and bones as you grow up. Growth hormones also influence when your growth will stop.
