Ecosystem
Organism
Tissue
Starting with the sun, construct a simple food chain up to a 3rd order consumer. Around this food chain and in
a different color, construct a food web listing trophic levels.
How are the following 3 ecological pyramids related?
Energy Pyramid
What do environmental changes have to do with successional changes (either primary or secondary
succession) in a community?
How are these environmental changes related to descent with modification?
Evolution
Write a 1-sentence summary about the following contributing factors to Darwin’s observations and ideas that
influenced his thinking in the formation of his theory of evolution.
There were patterns of diversity that Darwin observed in his travels.
Living organisms compared with fossils Darwin collected.
The close proximity and very different climates of the Galapagos Is.
Lamarck’s theory of evolution
16. What are the 5 main points of the Theory of Natural Selection?
Natural
selection
17. Resistance to pesticides and bacterial resistance are 2 examples of organisms, insects and bacteria,
respectively, showing variation in their ability to survive stressful (to them) environmental conditions. Explain
how this might occur and the relationship to natural selection.
Use the matrix below to summarize the important points that each area provides as evidence for evolution.

Importance to theory
Use the matrix below to fill in a structure that aids organisms complete the function listed at the head of each
column. It may be a single organelle (for uni-cellular organisms) or a complete system (highly ordered
organisms). If the structure varies within the group of organisms, indicate the range over which it varies.

Inorganic Chemistry:
Draw an atom and label the parts of the atom.

Description
Organic Chemistry
There are 4 major classes of organic compounds, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Many
people see these as polymers being made up of smaller components (these may or may not be identical). In
the matrix below, for each organic molecule, fill in what the smaller units are of which it’s made, list one
functional role, and one structural role in living systems.

Draw a concept map with the central concept being ‘enzymes’. Include in your concept map the following
terms: substrate, protein, reactions, activation energy, 3-D structure.
Cell Structure
Using the Venn Diagram, compare/contrast a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell.

cells, or both, and state in 1 sentence what the function of the organelle is.

Complete the following matrix about DNA. In the column for ‘structure’ describe what the part is made of and
in the ‘function’ column, describe what it does.

Mitosis and Meiosis
Use the following Venn diagram to compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
mitosis
meiosis
Many scientists point to 4 principles that summarize Mendel’s work. They are:
 Traits are inherited by individual units called genes
 If there are 2 or more forms of a gene, some forms may be dominant, others recessive
 In most organisms that have sexual reproduction, there are 2 copies of each gene, one from the father,
the other one from the mother
 The different forms of genes usually segregate independently from one another
For each of the above principles, make a connection to the increased genetic variation that one gets as a result
of the meiotic divisions.

Complete Dominance
Incomplete dominance
Co-dominance
Multiple Alleles
Sex-linked
Complete Dominance:
Cross two heterozygous green plants. Yellow is the recessive trait. What are the genotype and
ratios, phenotype and ratios of the offspring of this cross?
Multiple Alleles:
A man with blood type AB marries a woman who is heterozygous for type A. What is the
probability that they will have a child who has a blood group A, B, AB, O?
Incomplete dominance:
The Japanese four O Clock plants, flower color shows incomplete dominance. Predict the
genotype and phenotype and ratios of the offspring of a cross of homozygous red flower with a
homozygous white flower.
Cross two pink Japanese four O Clock plant plants. Write the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation.
Sex-linked:
A woman who is heterozygous for hemophilia marries a normal man. What are the possible
phenotypes and the probability of occurrence?
Co-dominance:

of the F2 generation after crossing the F1 generation.
