BIOL 1107 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Active Transport, Adipose Tissue, Nervous Tissue
Document Summary
Adaptation: not a sudden change, only works if a cell already has the capacity to make a change (that is now beneficial to them) Acclimatization/ acclimation: phenotypic change that occurs in an individual in response to a short-term environmental change. Hibernation: in response to a long-term environmental change. Behavioral adaptations (by watching other birds eating a certain way) Tissue: a group of similar cells that function as a unit. 4 adult tissue types: connective, nervous, muscle, epithelial. These tissue types are not independent as they once were as single-celled organisms. Cells are building and maintaining the external environment that they live in (either flexible or solid) called the extracellular matrix. Connective tissue: arranged cells in the matrix. Bone extracellular matrix is a crystal/solid structure built and maintained by cells. It is a collection of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that create a fluid-like matrix to be in.
