Document Summary
Green alga distantly related to plants/ animals. Attributes of animal and plants (distantly related) Light = source of energy and source of information (about environment) Two basal body (base of flagella/cilia develops from this: where microtubules develop, sometimes cilia doesn"t develop properly in humans due to diseases. Er/ribosomes/golgi: packaging and sorting of proteins. Good system for genetics, cell biology; model system which answers questions that cant be found in other complex cells. It is a type of an extremophile: 17m below sea at -2 degrees. Measures: how do we define complexity, two components which are combined together; more than one entity coming together. Defining complexity is hard but measuring is easier: physical size: how big the cell is. 10 microns in diameter/ much bigger than a bacteria which are. Volvox has 50 000 cells in one organism; outside somatic and inside reproductive cells.
