Wegener observed that the continents appeared to fit together like puzzle pieces. He developed the theory of continental drift, which proposed that the continents slowly moved across Earth's surface over long periods of time. Wegener provided evidence from fossils, climate, earthquake locations, ocean ridges, and mountain ranges to support his theory. Later, the theory of plate tectonics was developed, explaining that continental drift occurs because Earth's crust is divided into plates that can move.

Plate tectonic theory evidence
This powerpoint goes into the 10 main pieces of evidence for plate tectonic theory. There is a timeline and details of each individual piece of evidence for plate tectonics. There is the date of each piece of evidence shown and then there is the name(s) of the scientists who founded them (if applicable).
Continental Drift Theory Template
The document discusses the continental drift theory proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 1900s. It provides evidence that Wegener used to support his theory, including matching landforms between continents, identical fossil finds in separated continents, and plant fossils found in unexpected locations. It also discusses Harry Hess and his theory of sea floor spreading, which helped explain continental drift. Hess proposed that new material is added at mid-ocean ridges, evidenced by older rocks found farther from ridges.
Continental drift theory
The Continental Drift theory proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 suggested that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener did not have proof of his theory at the time, but later evidence from matching fossil distributions, identical rock formations between continents, and the same mountain ranges provided support. This included fossils of Glossopteris found across regions of the former supercontinent Gondwanaland. Although controversial when first introduced, the development of the theory of plate tectonics provided the mechanism of plate movement driven by convection currents to explain how the continents could drift apart.

Continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1910, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided three lines of evidence to support his theory: the matching shapes of continental coastlines, matching fossil distributions across continents, and evidence that past climates did not match current continental positions. While his theory was initially rejected due to the lack of a mechanism, it was later supported by the discovery of seafloor spreading in the 1960s, which provided a process to explain how and why continents move over Earth's surface.
Activity continentaldrift
This document provides instructions for an activity where students will piece together the supercontinent Pangea based on fossil and rock evidence from present-day continents. Students will color code continents according to a legend matching fossil and mountain types. They will then cut out the continents and rearrange them to reconstruct Pangea, guided by the fossil and mountain evidence. Finally, students will glue the rearranged continents onto a map and answer questions about continental drift and the fit of continents in the supercontinent configuration.
Continental drift
This document discusses continental drift and the evidence that supports it. It explains that tectonic plates move around on top of the asthenosphere in different shapes and sizes. The hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Wegener in the early 1900s was that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before breaking apart and drifting to their current locations. Key evidence that supported this idea included matching fossil records, complementary coastline shapes, and patterns of magnetic reversals in ocean crust that indicate sea floor spreading.
Continental drift and plate tectonics
The document discusses Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1912 and plate tectonic theory. Continental drift proposed that continents moved and were once joined, explaining geological matches between distant coastlines. However, it did not explain how or why continents moved. Plate tectonic theory improved on this by proposing that the lithosphere is divided into plates which float on the asthenosphere, allowing continents to move by explaining how they drift due to the movement of tectonic plates.

CONTINENTAL DRIFT HYPOTHESIS
This document discusses evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics theories. It describes how the Earth's crust is divided into plates that move over time, occasionally colliding or splitting apart. Fossil, rock formation, and climate data from separated continents provided early evidence that landmasses have drifted over hundreds of millions of years. Studies of the ocean floor revealed patterns of magnetic polarity reversals and symmetrical magnetic strips that supported the hypothesis of sea floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges, with new crust forming and pushing older crust farther outward over time. Together this evidence established plate tectonics as the mechanism explaining continental movement and geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes.

1) In the 1960s, Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading to explain continental drift, suggesting that new crust is formed at oceanic ridges and pushes plates apart.
2) As a Navy submarine commander, Hess used sonar to map features on the ocean floor, discovering evidence of seafloor spreading and helping develop his theory.
3) Plate tectonics divided the Earth's outer layer into major and minor tectonic plates that move at boundaries due to convection in the mantle, gravity, and the planet's rotation.

Continental Drift Theory-Abhinav gupta
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of continental drift and the existence in the past of the supercontinent Pangaea. It provides examples of matching geological formations and fossil records found across continents now separated by oceans, including similar coal deposits in Antarctica, North America and the UK from the Carboniferous period; glacial striations matching between Brazil and West Africa; and the reptile Mesosaurus fossilized in sediments in South America and South Africa dated to around 280 million years ago. It also describes how Jack Oliver's 1968 research paper provided further evidence that finally convinced the scientific community to accept continental drift.

CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY PPT
Continental drift is the hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed.
Wegener argued that there was once a super continent (which he named Pangea -meaning ''all land ) which split up over millions of year and gradually drifted over to their current place on earth at a rate of a few centimeter year.
Continental Drift
1) Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over millions of years.
2) To support his theory, Wegener presented four pieces of evidence: the matching shapes of continental edges, identical fossil distributions, matching rock formations, and evidence of past climate zones that no longer align with the continents' current locations.
3) Despite this evidence, Wegener's contemporaries rejected his theory because he could not explain the mechanism that caused the continents to move. Acceptance of the theory required understanding how and why continental drift occurred.

Alfred wegener presentation
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 1900s, which suggested that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart over millions of years. This helped explain similarities in fossils and rock formations across continents. Though initially lacking evidence, Wegener's theory is now widely accepted due to evidence like matching coastlines, fossil and rock matches between continents, and the fit of continents across oceans. The supercontinent Pangaea broke apart into Gondwana and Laurasia around 200 million years ago.
Continental drift
Alfred Wegener first developed the theory of continental drift, proposing that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea existed approximately 300 million years ago but began breaking apart after 100 million years. Wegener's ideas were initially rejected by the scientific community but are now widely accepted. Evidence for continental drift includes the apparent fit of coastlines, matching fossil records, identical rock and mountain structures found across oceans, and paleoclimate data that suggests regions were in different climates when the continents were joined.
continental theory and plate tectonic
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in 1910, hypothesizing that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener suggested that Earth's centrifugal force caused Pangaea to break apart and drift towards the equator. However, Wegener was unable to adequately explain the forces driving continental drift, and his theory was dismissed by the scientific community who believed the Earth was solid. In the 1960s, Harry Hess proposed seafloor spreading as the mechanism driving continental drift, based on patterns of magnetic rocks on the seafloor.
Pangea
The document discusses Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1912. It explains that Wegener noticed that fossils found in South America were identical to those found in Africa and proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangea. The theory described the continents gradually drifting apart over millions of years due to plate tectonics.
Continental drift
Continental drift is the slow movement of continents across the Earth's surface due to tectonic plate motions. Evidence for continental drift includes: the matching coastlines of separated continents; matching fossil, rock, and glacial deposits in separated areas; and paleomagnetic data showing continents were once joined. Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift theory in 1915, though it was not widely accepted until the 1960s when seafloor spreading was discovered, providing evidence of plate tectonics and explaining the driving force behind continental drift.

- The document discusses how the theory of continental drift evolved into the theory of plate tectonics through various geological discoveries in the mid-20th century.
- Key evidence included fossil distributions, glacier patterns, and the matching shapes of continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic. However, the mechanism for continental drift was unknown.
- In the 1950s-60s, studies of seafloor topography, magnetism in oceanic rocks, and seismic activity revealed processes of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges and tectonic plate movement.

Continental drift theory and plate techtonics
Paleogeography studies the geography of the past by mapping the positions of continents and distribution of land and seas over geological time. The positions of past continents can be determined using data like paleomagnetism, magnetic anomalies, paleobiogeography, paleoclimatology, and geological history. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1915 to explain geological evidence that continents have moved over time, such as matching fossil and rock formations found across separated continents. Plate tectonics later expanded on this theory by proposing that Earth's lithosphere is composed of plates that move over Earth's asthenosphere, causing geological activity along plate boundaries.

Continental drift was a theory proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 to explain similarities between continents such as matching coastlines, fossils, and rock formations. Wegener proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions. Wegener's theory was initially rejected because he could not explain the mechanism driving the movement of continents. Later, Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading to explain continental drift, suggesting new ocean crust was being formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushing the continents apart. Plate tectonics unified these concepts and provided evidence of magnetic reversals in ocean crust to support the theory of continental movement.
Continental drift theory of A. Wegener
1. Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift theory in 1912, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea surrounded by a ocean called Panthalassa.
2. According to the theory, Pangaea broke apart starting in the Triassic period, forming two landmasses - Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south, separated by the developing Tethys Sea.
3. The continued drifting of the continents led to the opening of the Atlantic Ocean as North America drifted away from Europe and Africa, the Indian Ocean as India separated from Antarctica and Australia, and the Pacific Ocean occupied the remaining area of the former Panthalassa sea.

1. Plate tectonics replaced earlier theories like diastrophism and the contracting Earth theory. The contracting Earth theory proposed that the Earth shrank over time through processes like cooling, which caused folding of the crust.
2. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1915, providing evidence like matching fossil distributions, paleoclimate patterns, and matching craton shapes that suggested continents had moved over time.
3. Wegener's theory was rejected in his time due to errors in his data and an inability to explain the mechanism of drift. It took further magnetic evidence in the 1950s to gain wide acceptance for plate tectonics replacing earlier stationary models of the Earth.

This document provides an overview of plate tectonics and the evidence that supports the theory. It discusses how early scientists like Alfred Wegener proposed that continents move over time (continental drift). Wegener noticed matching land features and fossil evidence between continents. Later, Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by discovering that new crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, providing evidence of sea-floor spreading as plates move apart. Convection currents in the mantle caused by heat from the Earth's core are now understood to drive the movement of tectonic plates.

Continental-Drift_Seafloor-spreading.pptx
Alfred Wegener first proposed the continental drift hypothesis in the early 1900s, which theorized that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart to their current locations. We now know from the theory of plate tectonics that Pangaea existed around 245 million years ago and later split into the continents of Laurasia and Gondwana. Sea-floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges drives the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of new oceanic crust, which is evidenced by magnetic reversals recorded in oceanic rocks over time.
science report
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912. He suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea, which later broke apart and drifted to their current positions. Wegener's theory was initially rejected by many scientists. However, the theory of plate tectonics later provided a mechanism - seafloor spreading - that explained how the continents could move over time. Today, the movement of continents via plate tectonics is well established in the scientific community.
Plate tectonics
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere.

- Plate tectonics theory explains geological phenomena by proposing that the Earth's outer layer is broken into plates that constantly move across Earth's surface.
- Evidence for plate tectonics includes matching continental margins, similar fossil distributions, and magnetic anomalies in oceanic crust that indicate seafloor spreading.
- The theory was developed through early proposals of continental drift and gathering evidence of paleomagnetism, which ultimately validated the concept of plates moving over Earth's surface.Ch 22 4 theory of plate tectonics
The document discusses the theory of plate tectonics. It explains that early theories proposed that the Earth once had a single landmass called Pangaea that broke apart over time. Evidence like fossil and rock formations in different continents supported the idea of continental drift. The theory of ocean floor spreading proposed that new ocean floor forms at mid-ocean ridges and pushes the plates apart over time. Plate tectonics combines these ideas and explains phenomena like mountain building, volcanoes, and earthquakes through the movement of rigid tectonic plates across the Earth's surface.

The document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence that supports the theory. It describes how fossils and rock formations found in different parts of the world provided early evidence that continents have moved over time. It also outlines key evidence from the mid-20th century including the discovery of sea floor spreading and magnetic reversals in ocean crust that helped establish the modern theory of plate tectonics.

4.1 InTroduCTIon
In chapter one, we reviewed the scientific method and the exact meaning of a
theory, which is a well-supported explanation for a natural phenomenon that still
cannot be completely proven. A Grand Unifying Theory is a set of ideas that
is central and essential to a field of study such as the theory of gravity in physics
or the theory of evolution in biology. The Grand Unifying Theory of geology is the
theory of Plate Tectonics, which defines the outer portion of the earth as a brit-
tle outer layer that is broken into moving pieces called tectonic plates. This the-
ory is supported by many lines of evidence including the shape of the continents,
the distribution of fossils and rocks, the distribution of environmental indicators,
as well as the location of mountains, volcanoes, trenches, and earthquakes. The
movement of plates can be observed on human timescales and easily measured
using GPS satellites.
Plate tectonics is integral to the study of geology because it aids in reconstruct-
ing earth’s history. This theory helps to explain how the first continents were built,
how oceans formed, and even helps inform hypotheses for the origin of life. The
theory also helps explain the geographic distribution of geologic features such as
mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys, and trenches. Finally, it helps us assess the po-
tential risks of geologic catastrophes such as earthquakes and volcanoes across
the earth. The power of this theory lies in its ability to create testable hypotheses
regarding Earth’s history as well as predictions regarding its future.

4.2 evIdenCe of The movemenT of ConTInenTs
The idea that the continents appear to have been joined based on their shapes is
not new, in fact this idea first appeared in the writings of Sir Francis Bacon in 1620.
The resulting hypothesis from this observation is rather straightforward: the shapes
of the continents fit together because they were once connected and have since bro-
ken apart and moved. This hypothesis is discussing a historical event in the past and
cannot be directly tested without a time machine. Therefore, geoscientists reframed
the hypothesis by assuming the continents used to be connected and asking what
other patterns we would expect to find. This is exactly how turn of the century earth
scientists (.
Week1Plate-Tectonics.pdf
The document discusses plate tectonics and earthquakes. It describes how the Earth's crust is broken into tectonic plates that move slowly over time, interacting at their boundaries in ways that cause earthquakes and volcanic activity. During an earthquake, seismic waves travel outward from the epicenter, including P waves, S waves, and surface waves. Seismographs are used to detect and measure these waves to determine the location and magnitude of earthquakes.
Outline of various tectonic theories
In the beginning of 20th century scientist realized that they could not explain many of the earth structure and processes with in a single theory. Many hypotheses developed to try and support the confliction observation
Plate Tectonic Theory.ppt
According to the theory of plate tectonics:
- The Earth's crust is broken into plates that slowly move over time;
- Plates interact at boundaries where they can collide, pull apart, or slide past one another;
- These interactions are responsible for geologic events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
Plate tectonics
The document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence supporting continental drift. It describes how Wegener first proposed the hypothesis of continental drift in 1912 based on observations that the continents seemed to fit together. The document outlines several pieces of evidence that supported Wegener's hypothesis, including matching coastlines, shared fossil distributions, and geological and climatic similarities between separated continents. It then describes how the theory of seafloor spreading provided further evidence when studies in the 1940s and 1950s showed the ocean floor was younger than the continents and spreading occurred at mid-ocean ridges. Paleomagnetic data from the seafloor also supported seafloor spreading and continental drift. Today the theory of plate tectonics unifies

Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together and have since moved apart. He provided evidence that continents like Africa and South America fit together geographically and share similar fossil and rock patterns. However, his ideas were rejected by other scientists at the time because they could not explain how continents could move through solid rock or what force could cause such movement. It was not until many years later that scientists discovered convection currents in the Earth's mantle caused by radioactive decay in the core, which provided a mechanism for plate tectonics and the movement of continents.
movements in the earth
The document summarizes key aspects of plate tectonics theory including continental drift, seafloor spreading, and evidence that supports these ideas. It describes how Alfred Wegener first proposed continental drift in 1912, though it was not widely accepted until the 1950s when evidence like paleomagnetism was discovered. It also explains how seafloor spreading was observed at mid-ocean ridges and helped explain continental drift, providing evidence like pillow lava, magnetic stripes in ocean crust, and dating of ocean floor rocks. Finally, it gives a brief overview of plate tectonics theory including major components like lithosphere, asthenosphere, convection cells, and different plate boundary types.
Earth&PlateTectonics_Butler_ERBmod.ppt
The document discusses plate tectonics and provides evidence that supports the theory of continental drift. It describes how the Earth's crust is broken into plates that move relative to each other. The plates interact in different ways as they move, including colliding, pulling apart, and scraping past one another, which causes geological features like mountains and volcanoes to form. It also explains Alfred Wegener's early theory of continental drift and the fossil, geological, and geographical evidence he used to support the idea that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea.
Theories of the earth's crustal movement powerpoint
The document summarizes theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. In 1915, Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift, which states that parts of the Earth's crust slowly drift atop a liquid core. Wegener hypothesized that around 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea later broke apart into smaller supercontinents, and by the end of the Cretaceous period the continents had separated into their modern positions. In the 1960s, Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which provided support for continental drift by showing how ocean floors spread outward from underwater ridges. Plate tectonics expanded on these ideas

Earthquake jeopardy quiz ppt 6th
This document provides information about earthquakes and seismic waves through a quiz format. It defines key earthquake terms like faults, epicenter, focus, and magnitude. It explains the three main types of seismic waves - P waves, S waves, and surface waves - and how they propagate. The document also discusses the relationship between earthquakes, faults, and energy buildup. It quizzes the reader on earthquake locations, timing, and the factors that influence damage.
Movement of mantle 6th
The document discusses how convection currents in Earth's mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates. Hot mantle material rises and cools, becoming dense and sinking back down, driving circular mantle flow patterns. This convection causes tectonic plates, which sit atop the mantle, to slowly move over geologic timescales.
Types of plate boundaries 6th
Compression forces cause convergent boundaries where plates push together, like at subduction zones where one plate slides under another into the mantle or at collision zones where plates smash together to form mountains. Tension forces cause divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, like at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed as the plates move away from each other. Shear forces cause transform boundaries where plates slide horizontally past each other.
Epicenter location 6th
The document discusses how the difference in arrival times between P and S-waves at seismic stations can be used to locate an earthquake's epicenter. It explains that the longer the difference in times between stations, the further away the epicenter is located. An example shows how comparing the differences in arrival times between 4 stations could identify which station is closest and furthest from the epicenter.
Seismic waves 6th
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth caused by earthquakes. There are three main types of seismic waves: primary (P-) waves, secondary (S-) waves, and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest waves and can travel through solid and liquid materials. S-waves are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and only travel along the Earth's surface. These seismic waves transmit the energy and effects of earthquakes through the Earth.
Faults and earthquakes 6th
This document describes three types of plate boundary movements: strike-slip boundaries where rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions, normal boundaries where rocks are pulled apart vertically with one rock moving down, and reverse boundaries where rocks are pushed together vertically with one rock moving up. Each type of boundary movement is associated with a different kind of plate boundary: strike-slip with transform boundaries, normal with divergent boundaries, and reverse with convergent boundaries.
EQs and epicenters 6th
Earthquake C would cause more damage to the house because the effects of an earthquake depend on the distance from the epicenter, with closer earthquakes causing stronger shaking. Earthquake C, being closer to the location of the house, would result in more intense ground shaking and therefore more damage than Earthquake D, which is farther away.
Continental drift and tectonic theory
Wegener observed that the continents appeared to fit together like puzzle pieces. He developed the theory of continental drift, which proposed that the continents slowly moved across Earth's surface over long periods of time. Wegener provided evidence from fossils, climate, earthquake locations, ocean ridges, and mountain ranges to support his theory. Later, the theory of plate tectonics was developed, explaining that continental drift occurs because Earth's crust is divided into plates that can move.
Properties of layers
The document describes the four main layers of the Earth - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It provides details on the thickness, composition, and characteristics of each layer, noting trends with depth such as increasing temperature, pressure, and density. The crust is the top layer and thinnest, while the inner core is at the center and hottest.
Earth's layers 6th
The document provides a very limited amount of information. It contains only the number "20L" which could refer to an amount, volume, or other measurement but without any additional context it is impossible to determine what exactly is being referred to or the significance of this number. No other details or explanations are given so only a very high-level summary can be provided based on this small amount of information.
Mitosis 7th
The document describes the stages of meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, the chromosomes from the mother and father separate. This results in two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes. These cells then undergo meiosis II, where the chromosomes separate again, resulting in four daughter cells each with half the original number of chromosomes. The document also outlines the four stages of mitosis - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - describing the key events that occur during cell division.
Cell cycle 7th
The document discusses the stages of the cell cycle, which includes three main stages - interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Interphase is the longest stage where the cell grows and copies its DNA and organelles. Interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phases, with S phase being when chromosomes replicate. Mitosis then occurs, where the nucleus splits in four steps, followed by cytokinesis where the cytoplasm splits into two new cells.
Cell division 7th
Cells divide to allow organisms to grow, develop, replace old cells, and reproduce. For a cell to divide, it must grow in size, replicate its organelles and DNA. Cell division involves growth, DNA replication, and separation of copied DNA and organelles into two daughter cells.
Plant vs animal cell 7th
The document compares and contrasts the key structures of plant and animal cells. Both cell types contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes. Plant cells are typically boxy and rectangular in shape while animal cells are usually spherical. Plant cells also contain chloroplasts, a cell wall, and usually one large central vacuole. Animal cells contain lysosomes, mitochondria, and do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis 7th
Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, which is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose or food and oxygen as a byproduct. Photosynthesis takes place in plant cells when they are exposed to sunlight, while animal cells do not perform photosynthesis.
Plant food and energy 7th
Plants get their energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and with the help of sunlight in their chloroplasts, produce oxygen and glucose, which provides them food. This demonstrates that plants need energy and food to grow, survive and reproduce, fulfilling two key characteristics of living things.
Cell shape 7th
The cell has an outer layer called the cell membrane or cell wall that controls what enters and exits the cell. Inside the cell is the cytoplasm, a semi-fluid substance that holds organelles. The cytoplasm also contains the cytoskeleton, a network of fibers that provides structure and support like bones within the cell.
Cell making and storage 7th
The document discusses several key organelles in cells and their functions, including ribosomes that make proteins, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that makes lipids and breaks down toxins, the Golgi apparatus that packages and ships proteins and molecules, vacuoles that store food, water, and waste, and lysosomes that break down and recycle old cell parts. Analogies are provided comparing ribosomes to students making projects, the Golgi apparatus to an office sending and receiving mail, vacuoles to storage closets or fridges, and lysosomes to a janitor cleaning up a school.
Cell info notes 7th
The document discusses genetic information and DNA. It states that DNA contains the blueprints of life and is located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. DNA is organized into chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Cell energy 7th
Cells need energy to perform essential functions like movement, growth, and reproduction. They obtain this energy from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which acts as the cell's energy currency. The cell produces ATP by breaking down glucose in the mitochondria, which serves as the cell's powerhouse where glucose is converted to ATP through cellular respiration.
