AP Biology Summer Assignment Welcome to AP Biology. This course is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester introductory biology course taken the first year of college. Throughout the course, you will become familiar with major recurring ideas that persist throughout all topics and material. The 4 Big Ideas are: Big Idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Big Idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes. Big Idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties. To successfully complete the course and meet all of the required objectives, you will need to do independent work at home. It will not replace classroom instruction or labs. It is to ensure all material is covered, as we do not have enough time allotted to cover every single topic in AP Biology. During the school year, you will be reading chapters in the book and taking some of your own notes to supplement notes taken in class. You will also check out other resources and links we may give to you in class, as they will help your understanding of the topic. It is necessary that you do this throughout the year. There are three parts to your summer assignment. You will need your textbook. You will get this book before the end of the school year. The textbook name is Biology eighth edition by Campbell and Reece. This assignment is also found on high school website under summer assignments. If you have any questions email me [email protected] Part I Outline Chapters You will read 6 chapters from two units of study you will outline each chapter. Your outline should cover all major topics including vocabulary, examples and pictures with labels where applicable. When you come across a research method or inquiry pay close attention and understand the conclusion. The first day back to school you will take an exam on this material. The exam will be multiple choice response and free response questions (FRQ). Your outline will also be graded. Below is a guide to outlining, you may consult other websites for outlining biology material. http://shs2.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/biology/intro/outline.htm You will outline the following: Unit 1The Chemistry of Life Chapter 3 Water and The fitness of the Environment Chapter 4 Carbon and the molecular Diversity of life Chapter5 the Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules Unit 2 The Cell Chapter 6 A tour of the cell Chapter 7 Membrane Structure and Function Chapter 11 Cell Communication You must view the following videos in conjunction with outlining. These videos will help with your understanding of the topics. Go to link: http://www.bozemanscience.com/ At the top of the page click on videos then click on AP Biology View the following videos: 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 44, 48, 52, and water a polar molecule in supplemental. You can view them before or after the note taking or both they are extremely helpful. Part II Answer end of section Questions. For the chapters you outlined answer concept check questions at the end of each section. Write the question and answers in different color pen so you can study from them. You can do this after each chapter or at the end your choice. (I do realize answers are in the back of the book you should try to answer on your own before checking) Part III Sample free response questions on the following pages. Please answer the sample questions. The objective is to practice the types of questions you will encounter during the school year. Before you answer the question look up the following term and make sure you understand them; explain, describe, predict, and justify. FRQ 1. The table below shows the amino acid sequence of the carboxyl-terminal segment of a conserved polypeptide from four different, but related, species. Each amino acid is represented by a three-letter abbreviation, and the amino acid residues in the polypeptide chains are numbered from the amino end to the carboxyl end. Empty cells indicate no amino acid is present. Species I II III IV a. 1 Val Val Val Val 2 His His His His Relative Amino Acid Position 3 4 5 6 Leu Val Glu Glu Leu Lys Glu Glu Leu Val Glu Glu Leu Val Arg Trp 7 His His His Ala 8 Val Val Val Cys 9 Glu Glu 10 His His Met Asp Assuming that species I is the ancestral species of the group, explain the most likely genetic change that produced the polypeptide in species II b. 2. and the most likely genetic change that produced the polypeptide in species III. (b) Predict the effects of the mutation on the structure and function of the resulting protein in species IV. Justify your prediction. The following data were collected by observing sub cellular structures of three different types of eukaryotic cells. RELATIVE AMOUNTS OF ORGANELLES IN THREE CELL TYPES Cell Type X Y Z Smooth ER Small amount Large amount absent Rough ER Mitochondria Cilia Small amount Large amount absent Large amount Moderate amount absent present absent absent Golgi Bodies Small amount Large amount absent Based on an analysis of the data, identify a likely primary function of each cell type and explain how the data support the identification.
