The Biology exam will consist of multiple choice, completion. matching and
labeling items on diagrams. There might be one essay question.
Chapter 5 Homeostasis and Cell Transport
- diffusion and osmosis, factors affecting rates
- passive and active transport and examples
- hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions and their effect on animal
and plant cells, examples of each of these situations
- endocytosis, phagocytosis
Chapter 6 and 7 Photosynthesis and Respiration
- study the guided notes packet for these two chapters
- make sure you can write out the equations for photosynthesis and
respiration
- questions for the exam will be taken only from the packets
- understand that photosynthesis and respiration are complimentary
processes that drive the interdependence of plants and animals on
each other.
Chapter 8 Mitosis and Meiosis
-stages of mitosis: what happens, what each one looks like, names of each
phase
-purpose of meiosis, steps of meiosis, types of cells that undergo meiosis
-differences between meiosis and mitosis
-what diploid and haploid mean
Chapter 10 Nulceic Acids and Protein Synthesis
-Watson, Crick, Franklin – who they were
-structure of the DNA molecule, nucleotides, codons
-how amino acids are coded
-the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis
-type bases of the DNA molecules and which bond with which
-the replication process of DNA
- RNA: structure, types, how compares to DNA
-two main steps of protein synthesis: transcription and translation
where in the cell these occur and what happens in each main step
-examples of proteins
Chapter 9 Fundamentals of Genetics
-who Mendel was and be familiar with his experiments
-Mendel's laws / principles
-the difference between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes
-how to do genetic problems using a Punnett square
-how to determine genotype and phenotype ratios
-what incomplete dominance is and how to determine the results of
crosses involving incomplete dominance
-dihybrid crosses
-the difference between a gene, chromosome and allele
-the genotypes of ABO blood types
-how to predict the possible blood types of offspring
Chapter 12 Inheritance Patterns and Human Genetics
-the difference between germ cell and somatic cell mutations
-when mutations occur most often
-distinguish between inversion, translocation, nondisjunction, point and
chromosome mutations
-causes of mutations
-sex-linked, sex-influenced and sex-limited traits - examples of each and
how to do genetic problems involving sex-linked traits
-sex-chromosomes, sex determination
-interpreting a Pedigree
-difference between single allele, polygenic and multiple allele traits
-Codominance, sex-limited traits, sex-influenced traits
-how genetic disorders are detected; disorders caused by nondisjunction

- structures and functions of male and female reproductive systems
- ovarian / uterine cycle
- stages of human development
- stages of pregnancy and birth
Chapter 14/15 Origin of Life / Evolution
-how fossils are formed, dated and descriptions of types of fossils such
as imprints, molds, casts, and amber, carbon tracing
- law of superposition
-how homologous structures and vestigial organs suggest common
ancestry of species
- Evidence for evolution such as: biochemical, embryological, homologous and
analogous structures
-Charles Darwin and Natural selection /the name of his book
-Lammarck – theory for evolution / acquired traits
-types of evolution: Coevolution, Convergent, Divergent
-characteristics of primates /anthropoids / hominids
-characteristics types of hominids (hominid chart)
Frog Packet

-characteristics, environmental requirements, structure, nutritional
modes, reproduction for Viruses, Bacteria, Protists,
- terms
Algae / Plants
Characteristics and examples of Algae
Characteristics and examples of major plant phyla (plant chart)
Animals
-characteristics and examples of each of the 9 phyla
-how each group moves, gets food, maintains body temperature
-information for each group in Animal booklet *
The following diagrams / color plates should be studied:
Hypotonic /Hypertonic situations
DNA molecule
Phases of Mitosis
Phases of Meiosis
How to set up Punnett Squares
Human male and female reproductive system
Anatomy of sperm and egg cells
Frog Packet
Cells of bacteria, Ameba, Paramecia, Euglena
Bacteriophage (virus structure)
Paramecia, Ameba, Euglena
Study the objectives and terms and color plates, review sheets, and hand
outs for the above chapters. Use review sheets as practice questions. You do
not have to study video worksheets. Don’t forget to practice genetic
crosses.
Note: You may want to try the quizzes and activities of the online edition of
the book as practice.
Animal booklet may be used as reference on the Exam.
