1. The Tree of Life – 3 domains 2. Archaea and bacteria each contributed to the evolution of eukaryotes 3. The endosymbiotic hypothesis proposes that the chloroplasts and mitochondria of eukaryotic cells were originally free-living bacteria. 4. The paradox of sex – why did sex evolve and why is it maintained 5. Evolution of multicellularity – how does complex multicellularity differs from simple multicellularity 6. Diversity in protists including body plan, locomotion, nutrition, inte...

There are four levels of analysis for questions addressing animal behavior. Animals make behavioral choices that enhance their energy gain and reduce their risk of becoming prey. Mating behaviors reflect the costs and benefits of parental investment and sexual selection. There are advantages and disadvantages to living in groups.

Describes the: evolution, flexible boundaries, cytoskeleton, evolution of the nucleus, waste digestion, and endosymbiosis

Fungi are eukaryote heterotros that feed by absorption Fungi reproduce both asexually and sexually and disperse by spores Fungi play important roles in nutrient recycling, ecological interactions, and human welfare
