Define biology and explain why the study of biology is so important. Study of living things, to understand how living things interact and operate.
List and explain the characteristics of all living things. Made up of cells, reproduces, based on a genetic code, grows/develops, needs materials/energy, responds to stimuli, homeostasis, evolves

Autotrophs producers, make own food from sun/chemical energy source
Limiting factors- resource that has a finite amount, Ex: food, water, space, predators, etc.
Ecosystem distinct area consisting of both biotic and abiotic factors 3
Niche organisms role in a particular habitat, prevents competition
Heterotrophs - consumers, obtain food from another organism
Independent effects population regardless of size. Ex: natural diasters
Dependent effects population in different ways depending on size. Ex: predation, competition, migration, disease
Mutualism both organisms benefit. Ex- bird/insect (gets food), plant (pollination)
Parasitism one organism benefits while another is harmed. Ex- dog (loses blood), flea (gets food)
Commensalism one organism benefits while the other is unaffected. Ex- remora (gets food), shark (feeds normally)
J curve population growing exponentially, no limiting factors, reaching biotic potential Ex: human population
S curve population growing logistically, limiting factors cause population to reach carrying capacity
Abiotic non-living factors effecting an ecosystem Ex- amt. light, water, temp., % chemicals, wind, current, soil type, etc.
Biotic living interactions between organisms of an ecosystem Ex- competition, predation, symbiosis
Primary succession occurs in areas where life hasn’t existed (volcanic islands, rock upliftings, etc…)
Secondary succession occurs in area where life once was (abandoned fields, forest left after a forest fire, etc…)
Pioneer communities first species to inhabit an area of primary succession (moss or lichen break down rock into soil)
Climax community stable/mature community with little or no change (hardwood forest)
Ionic- transfer of electrons, creates IONS
Covalent- sharing of electrons, strong bond
Solvent dissolves solute (water)
Solute gets dissolved (sugar)
Identify the main elements that make up living cells CHONPS (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Carbs. CHO Monosaccaride Energy source Glucose,
Lipids CHO Glycerol and fatty acids
Proteins CHON Amino acids Structures, enzymes Melanin, Keratin
Nucleic Acids CHONP Nucleotide Genetic information DNA, RNA
Condensation molecules joined by losing water molecules, glucose+glucose+glucoseà starch + 2 waters
Hydrolysis large molecules broken into smaller ones by adding water, protein + waterà amino acids
large molecules broken into smaller ones by adding water, protein + waterà amino acids Strong Acid Neutral Strong Base 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
CELL WALL , Structure and support for plant cells PLANT
CENTRIOLES , Help in cell division ANIMAL
CHLOROPLASTS , Site of photosynthesis (makes glucose) PLANT
CILIA , Movement ANIMAL
CYTOPLASM ,Contains a gel (cytosol) holds organelles in place; allows for transport of materials BOTH
CYTOSKELETON , Provides structure to cell BOTH
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM , Intracellular highway BOTH
FLAGELLA , Movement in certain cells (sperm, protist) ANIMAL
GOLGI BODIES ,Packaging and distribution center BOTH
LYSOSOMES, Contain hydrolytic enzymes, digest unwanted cell material MOSTLY ANIMAL
MITOCHONDRIA ,Powerhouse of cell, breaks down glucose for energy BOTH
NUCLEOLUS ,Produces ribosomes BOTH
NUCLEUS ,Control center; contains instructions of make proteins BOTH
PLASMA MEMBRANE,(Cell membrane) Regulates what comes in and out of cell; keeps materials in BOTH
RIBOSOMES, Produce proteins BOTH
VACUOLES, Stores water, food and waste BOTH
CENTRAL VACUOLE ,Main storage area, mostly water PLANT
unicellular organism organisms composed of only 1 cell
multicellular organism organism composed of more than 1 cell
prokaryote organism without a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
eukaryote organism with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Diffusion Transport of materials from an area of high to an area of low concentration
Osmosis Transport of water from an area of high to low concentration
Active Transport The movement of molecules against the concentration gradient (low to high)
Endocytosis The movement of large molecules inside a cell
Exocytosis The movement of large molecules outside a cell
Isotonic The solution of water is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
Hypotonic A solution in which the concentration of solute (dissolved material) is lower on the outside of the cell than on the inside making the water concentration on the outside higher. Water flow inside the cell from the environment.
Hypertonic A solution in which the concentration of solute (dissolved material) is higher on the outside of the cell than on the inside making the water concentration on the outside lower. Water flows outside of the cell into the environment.
ISOTONIC water moves into and out of the cell at equal rate, cell remains the same
HYPOTONIC water moves into the cell, cell swells
HYPERTONIC water moves out of the cell, cell shrinks
Identify the balanced equation for photosynthesis. 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight ==== C6H12O6 + 6O2
State the equation for aerobic respiration. C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP
Complete the chart comparing the two types of photosynthesis reactions: Light Dependent Light Independent
2 types of anaerobic respiration. Lactic acid fermentation and Alcoholic fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation occurs during periods of strenuous exercise when the muscles have used all available oxygen – the body produces lactic acid instead of CO2,
Alcoholic fermentation occurs without oxygen in yeast CO2 is produced– in both of these reactions, very little ATP is produced
Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic occurs with oxygen; anaerobic occurs without oxygen.
Glycolysis Reactants used Glucose ---Products produced ATP, Pyruvic Acid ---Amount of ATP produced 2 ---Aerobic or Anaerobic Anaerobic -----Where the process occurs Cytoplasm
Fermentation Reactants used Pyruvic Acid--Products producedLactic acid or alcohol/CO2--- Amount of ATP produced-0---Aerobic or AnaerobicAnaerobic---Where the process occurs Mitochondira
Kreb’s Cycle Reactants used Pyruvic Acid (Acetyl Co-A)----Products produced ATP, CO2----2 ATP produced, aeroobic=---done in the mitochondira
Electron Transport Reactants used NADH, FADH2-- Products produced Water, ATP--Amount of ATP produced 34- aerobic, in the mitochondria
Draw a diagram of the stages of the cell life cycle. Describe the events that occur in each step. see the email
What is the relationship among DNA, chromosomes and chromatin? DNA uncoiled is chromatin, chromatin condenses to become a chromatid, two sister chromatids join at a centromere to form a chromosome.
Explain the difference in chromosome numbers in somatic (body) cells and reproductive cells (gametes) in humans. Somatic- diploid, two copies (46) Gametes- haploid, one copy (23)
Why must gametes be haploid? To keep the chromosome number consistent for every species
Mitosis The process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes.
Meiosis The process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants.
Explain the effect of mutagens. Explain why some changes in DNA structure are inherited and some are not A mutagen causes a change in the DNA. DNA codes for RNA (transcription), which get translated to proteins, if the sequence is changed in DNA it changes the RNA, which changes the amino acids that bond to form the protein. If mutation is in a sex cell it w
Summarize the protein synthesis process, starting with the DNA. FIND
Allele one member of a gene pair
Heredity the study of the passing of traits from parent to offspring.
Principle of Dominance factors (alleles) may dominate or hide other traits
Principle of Segregation factors (alleles) separate from each other during the formation of sex cells (during meiosis)
Principle of Independent Assortment traits separately independently from each other during meiosis – height of plants separately independently of color in a dihybrid cross)
