Document Summary
It"s flagella is (cid:448)er(cid:455) si(cid:373)ilar to hu(cid:373)a(cid:374) (cid:272)ilia. Lecture outcomes class 1: characteristics of chlamydomonas that make it a useful model system. It has an eye-spot that can detect or sense light. It contains ion channels that are directly activated by light, such as channelrhodopsin: they have chloroplasts than need the light to photosynthesize. They contain very similar structure but different functions, the eyespot is simple but the human eye is complex, the eyespot is not primitive, this suggests that they came from a common ancestor but then diverged. Infrared radiation: microwaves, radio waves, definition of light. Light is defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can detect with their eyes (visible light 400-700nm) Light behaves as a wave that travels through space, and a stream of energy particles called photons (particle-wave duality) Light is best understood as a wave of photons: relationship between wavelength and energy content of a photon.
