Name the biological organizational levels and their description
Atom- basic unit of matter
Molecule- grouping of atoms bonded together
Cell- basic unit of life
Tissue- functional grouping of cells
Organ- functional grouping of tissues
Organism- one individual organism
Population- group of individual of the same species
community- populations of all species on the same area
ecosystem- communities interacting with the physical environment
biosphere- regions of he Earth that sustain life (land/ water/air
How to determine which group is the control group and which is the experimental group
the experimental group HAS manipulation while the control group doesn't
Each atom consists these atomic structures:
(know where they are located)
protons- positive charge (+)
electrons- negative charge (-)
neutrons- neutral
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus
Electrons are orbiting
Know the properties of water
Because ice expands the DENSITY will be lower allowing it to float. Water is a SOLVENT(dissolves)
HEAT of VAPORIZATION- water evaporates and takes heat with it
SURFACE TENSION- strong hydrogen bond. COHESION- water molecules sticking together. ADHESION- water molecules stick to other surfaces
know the pH range
0-6 acid; 7- neutral; 8-14 basic
Know the differences between the different bonds
Ionic- 1 atom takes electron away from another atom
Covalent- sharing electrons
Polar- unequal sharing
Nonpolar- equal sharing
Hydrogen bonds- bond between hydrogen and other molecule
Vander Waals forces- interaction with (+) and (-) lasts incredibly short
Match the correct function to its macromolecule:
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid
carbonhydrates- structural support and energy (starch)
lipids-short term energy. phospholipids/ steroids
protein-amino acids. has many functions
Nucleic acid- DNA- stores hereditary info RNA carries hereditary info
Know the differences between prokaryote and eukaryote.
prokaryote has NO nucleus
Eukaryote HAS nucleus
Determine which organelle is seen in plant cells only, animal cells only, or is seen in both cell types.
Plants- chloroplast/Cell Wall/ Central Vacual
Animal- lysosomes/ Centrioles
Both- golgi apparatus, mitochondria, etc.
Know the function for the following organelle:
lysosome, ribosome, nucleolus, smooth ER, and microtubules
Lysosome- breaks down food bacteria and other things
Ribosome- makes protein
Nucleolus- rRna (ribosome)
Smooth ER- make lipids
Microtubule-mitosis (spindle fibers) Transportation, organelles anchor
What is diffusion?
Movement through the membrane; concentration is from high to low
How are materials transported across the cell membrane using: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport
Simple diffusion - through membrane (concentrated gradient)
Facilitated diffusion- molecule has to move with the help of protein
Active transport- against the concentration gradient (from low to high) uses protein and energy
What is the purpose of endocytosis and exocytosis?
Endocytosis is IN to cell
Exocytosis is OUT of cell
What is the primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst?
Enzyme/catalyst makes the reaction go faster
How does an enzyme work?
Lowering the activation energy
Know the following about enzymes:
A. What is the active site?
B. What is the induced fit?
C. Is the optimal activity of an enzyme a wide range or a narrow range?
A. Where the substrate goes
B. Enzyme closes around the substrate
C. narrow range
What is the equation for cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration: C H O+ 6O------>6H O+6CO
6 12 6 2 2 2

Photosynthesis:6CO +6H O--->C H O +6O
2 2 6 12 6 2
What are the final products for the following stages:
Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
Light reaction
Calvin cycle
Krebs cycle-oxidizes to CO2 (carbon dioxide)
Oxidative phosphorylation- ATP
Light reaction- ATP& NADPH
Calvin cycle- Sugar
Be able to match the correct activity to its mitotic phase.
Prophase- formation of spindle fibers and chromosome condense
Prometaphase- nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle fibers attach to chromosome
Metaphase-line up in the middle
Anaphase-pulled apart
Telophase-nuclear envelope reforms, spinde fibers breakdown, and chromosomes de-condense
Be able to match the correct activity to its phase in meiosis.
same as meiosis except that:
prophase 1- there is crossing over and formation of tetrads

metaphase 1- has sister chromatids
In humans, how is a female/male determined?
female- XX
male- XY
Be able to solve genetic problems using a Punnett square. AA Aa
A A
A AA AA
a Aa Aa
Know the parts of a DNA nucleotide.
phosphate, sugar deoxribose, A-G T-C
Know the base pairing rules of a DNA and RNA.
DNA: A-T G-C

RNA: G-C A-U
Know the differences between DNA and RNA structures.
DNA- sugar deoxiribose, helix, double strand has a 'T'

RNA- Ribose, single strand, 'U'
Which molecule is being produced during replication, transcription, and translation?
Replication- DNA
Transcription-RNA
Translation- protein/polypeptide
Know how replication, transcription, and translation happen.
Replication- semi conservative replication
Transcription- RNA polymerase
Translation- Ribosome(joins them together) & tRNA(brings in amino acid to ribosome)
