ACT科学之细胞生物学详解(学科背景+单词+例题练习)

ACT科学测试主要考察重点考察科学推理能力,了解相应的学科知识可以快速理解文章内容,提高解题速度。今天咱们就一起来学习一下细胞生物学的相关背景知识,单词以及例题。

学科综述

Cell biology 细胞生物学

细胞生物学(英语:cell biology)旧称细胞学(cytology),是研究细胞的形态结构、生理机能、细胞周期,细胞分裂, 细胞凋亡, 以及各种胞器及讯息传递路径的学科。

细胞生物学背景知识

细胞生物学研究范围专注在生物学的微观与分子层次。细胞生物学研究包括极大多样性的单细胞生物,如细菌和原生动物,以及多细胞生物如人类、植物和海绵的许多专门细胞。

细胞生物学的一个重要组成部分是研究由蛋白质移动到细胞内不同的地方,或从细胞不同的地方分泌的分子机制。大多数蛋白质是由粗面内质网(RER)的核糖体合成的。核糖体含有的核酸核糖核酸(RNA),它装配和连接的氨基酸制造蛋白质。在细胞质内以及在内质网(RER)内,它们可以被单独的或群组的找到。这个过程被称为蛋白质的生物合成。

例题解析

55C-Passage IV

All multicellular animals can be grouped within the subkingdom Metazoa. Most metazoans are bilaterally symmetrical (they have right and above halves that are nearly identical). Biologists agree that metazoans evolved from protozoans (single-celled organisms) over 600 million years ago, but they do not agree on how this occurred. Three theories are presented.

译文:所有的多细胞生物可以被归结为后生动物。大多数的后生动物是双边对称的(他们的左半边和右半边几乎是相同的)。生物学家们认为,在大约6亿年前,后生物从原生动物(单细胞生物)演变而来,但是他们对这如何发生的产生了分歧。生物学家们提出了三个理论。

  • Cellularization Theory 细胞化理论

Some biologists believe that metazoans evolved from multinucleated protozoans (protozoans with many nuclei). Separate cells formed when membranes developed between adjacent nuclei. Later, cilia (hairlike strictures), used for movement, grew from each cell. These ciliated protozoan ancestors then evolved into aquatic, bilaterally symmetrical metazoans similar to modern flatworms. Later, other metazoans evolved from these flatworm-like creatures(see Figure 1)

译文:一些生物学家认为,后生动物是从多核的原生动物(有多个细胞核的原生动物)演变而来的。当两个相邻的细胞核之间形成薄膜时,分裂的细胞成形了。后来,纤毛(用来移动的毛状结构)从每一个细胞中生长出来。这些纤毛状的原生生物祖先随后演变成水生动物和与现代扁形虫相似的双边对称的后生动物。最后,其他的后生生物从这些扁形虫一样的生物中演变出来。(见图1)

(Figure 1)

  • Colonial Theory菌落理论

Other biologists suggest that many protozoans grouped together into a hollow ball, or colony. This colony evolved into the first metazoan. Each cell in the colony had a flagellum (movable tail) for movement. Initially, some of these cells were better suited for reproduction, and these became the reproductive cells of the metazoan. The first metazoans were aquatic, flagellated, radially symmetrical organisms (body parts arranged symmetrically around a central point, as in modern jellyfish). All later metazoans evolved from these jellyfish-like organisms (see Figure 2).

译文:其他的一些生物学家提出,许多原生动物聚集在一起形成一个空心的球,或者叫做菌落。这个菌落演变成最初的后生动物。菌落的每一个细胞都有一个用来移动的鞭毛(可移动的尾状物)。最初,部分细胞非常适合再生,并且这些细胞变成了后生动物的可再生细胞。最初的后生动物是水生动物,有鞭毛的,放射对称的有机体(身体部分围绕一个中心对称排列,就像现代的水母)。所有后来的后生动物都是从这些水母状的有机体演变而来的(见图2)。

  • Separate Line Theory分离线理论

Proponents of this theory argue that 2 separate protozoan lines led to metazoans. Radially symmetrical metazoans evolved form flagellated, colonial protozoans. Bilaterally symmetrical metazoans evolved from ciliated, multinucleated protozoans. The first metazoans of each group were jellyfish-like creatures and flatworm-like creatures, respectively. The 2 protozoan groups were only distantly related to each other, and the evolution of aquatic metazoans from the 2 protozoan groups occurred independently and at different times.

译文:这个理论的支持者认为,2个分离的原生动物排成线型产生后生动物。放射对称的后生动物是从有鞭毛的、菌落状的原生生物进化而来。双边对称的后生生物是从有纤毛的多核的原生生物进化而来。这些最初的后生生物分别是是水母状的生物和扁形虫状的生物。这两个原生生物组之间的关系不大,这两个组中的水生生物的演变是相互独立的并且发生在不同的时期。

J. Bilaterally symmetrical metazoans are more advanced than radially symmetrical metazoans.

【考点分析】

  • 观点(理论)冲突类文章(综合观点题)
  • 抓住定位词Proponents of all 3 theories ,考察对全文的掌握。
  • 排除法来做,先看F选项,从最后一段最后一句可以找到支持,同时另外两种理论也未就此进行反驳,故而F选项应为正确;G选项为第二个理论观点,根据文章中“The first metazoans were aquatic, flagellated, radially symmetrical organisms (body parts arranged symmetrically around a central point, as in modern jellyfish).” ,可找到依据,但从第二段可知,第一个理论支持 flatworm-like 结构,与G选项不同;H&J选项全文并未提及。

知识拓展——后生动物

  • 后生动物(Metazoa)是除原生动物外所有其他动物的总称(后生动物亚界)。动物界除原生动物门以外的所有多细胞动物门类的总称。其特征是体躯由大量形态有分化、机能有分工的细胞构成;与群体原生动物的兼有营养和生殖功能的细胞不同,其生殖细胞和营养细胞有明显的分化;依体制形态的对称情况,后生动物可分为不对称动物(多孔动物门)、辐射对称动物(腔肠动物门、栉水母动物门、棘皮动物门;后者的对称是次生的、栉水母和某些珊瑚是左右辐射对称)和两侧对称动物(其他所有门类)。
  • 后生动物系来自原生动物的祖先已毫无疑问,但什么样的原生动物是其祖先则议论很多。大致可分: (1)是多核原生动物的细胞分化结果[纤毛虫类起源说,认为从多核纤毛类产生原始的扁形动物,腔肠动物是由此而来的次生性动物]; (2)从老的学说来看,认为是从团藻那样的鞭毛虫群体演化而来。在这两种学说中,一般认为前者的论据不足,赞成后者的人比较多。后者的论点:认为这种群体构造是后生动物没有变化的胚芽;构成群体中的个体,按照极轴产生构造上的变化;分化成营养个员和生殖个员;在形成群体的过程中,特别类似于海绵动物的个体发生;后生动物的雄性生殖细胞保持着鞭毛虫的形态等等。
