AP Biology Mrs. Wood Name Period Unit I Molecules and Cells Independent Study Sheet 200 Points Learning Goals: 1. Describe how the cell membrane and other cell structures function in a cell. 2. Analyze the activity of enzymes and other important cell molecules. 3. Explain how plant cells obtain energy through the light-dependent and lightindependent processes of photosynthesis. 4. Explain cellular respiration in terms of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport system. 5. Differentiate between cellular reproduction in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Reference Chapters: 2-10 Level 1 (50): Knowledge and Comprehension Choose from these options to reinforce information from reading assignments. They are intended to be done at home or on designated work days in class (Fridays). Assignments on this level are each worth 10 points. _____ 1. Vocabulary Activity: Use 20 vocabulary terms and complete a vocabulary activity of your choice. Options include: Written words and definitions, Flashcards, Matching Game, X-Word Puzzle, Word search or Vocab Flipper. Each assignment must include definitions as well as terms. _____2. Foldable Activity: Choose a foldable design, then create a colorful illustrated foldable. Should include pictures plus information. Choose a design you have not done previously in this unit. _____ 3. Q and A Activity: Make up and answer 20 of your own questions. _____ 4. Outline Activity: Create an outline of the assigned reading. _____ 5. Writing Activity: Write a one-page summary in your own words about the assigned reading. Level 2 (50) : Application of Knowledge Through Research. Choose a rubric for one of the research options: EBSCO, PAGES, Evidence/ Inference, or Google It. Choose a research topic from one of the following sections in a reference chapter: Research Method, Insights from the Molecular Revolution, Experimental Research, Focus on Research, or Observational Research. The topic should relate to one of the labs from the unit. Level 3 (100) : Synthesis of Knowledge. Choose a rubric for one of the following project options: 3D Model, Board Game, Children’s Book, Comic Strip, Short Story, Poem or Investigation Power Point. Your project should highlight one or more of the learning goals. Essential Questions 1. What are the various mechanisms by which cell membranes regulate the transport of substances and intercellular communication? 2. How are the structures of cell organelles related to their functions? 3. How are enzymes regulated and how do they regulate chemical reactions? 4. What characteristics of carbon make it an ideal molecule for life? 5. Describe the elements that make up the major carbon compounds needed by cells. 6. Explain how the properties of water are essential for cells of both plants and animals. 7. What is the role of ATP in coupling the cell’s anabolic and catabolic processes? 8. How are the chemical products of the light-trapping reactions of photosynthesis coupled to the synthesis of carbohydrates? 9. How do the energy-yielding products of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle form ATP in chemiosmosis? 10. How do cells generate ATP in the absence of oxygen? 11. How does mitosis ensure that the next generation of cells will have the correct genetic information? 12. What are the mechanisms of cytokinesis in plant and animal cells? 13. How is the cell cycle regulated and how can disruption of this process lead to cancer?
