UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL A Nationally Recognized Exemplary School 4771 Campus Drive, Irvine, California 92612 • PH 949-936-7600 • FAX 949- 936-7609 Website: www.unihigh.org AP Biology Student: John Pehrson Principal Michael Georgino Assistant Principal Matt Pate Assistant Principal Amy Paulsen Assistant Principal Valerie Bueno Chris DiPaul Psychologists Chris Conlin Mark Cunningham Athletic Directors Michael Gerakos Jeanne Jelnick Activities Directors Advanced Placement Biology is a course designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. A qualified AP Biology student is one that is highly motivated, is academically oriented, has excellent study skills and reading abilities, and views learning as a journey rather than an obligation. In order to provide the most up-to-date information in the field of biology, it is highly recommended that you obtain the most recent edition of the text. The book that we will be using is: th Title: Campbell Biology with MasteringBiology, 9 ed. ISBN: 0131375040 or 9780131375048 Authors: Jane Reece, et. al. This text will be available for check out in the library for those that do not want to purchase the text. Advantages to purchasing your own copy of the text include: the ability to highlight the text as you actively read, annotating the figures, use of the Master-Biology Multimedia CD that comes with the text, and retaining the text as a reference for college. Because the exam is in mid-May, we require that students complete summer reading requirements prior to the start of school. This is necessary to ensure that all topics are addressed to fully prepare you for the AP exam. The following chapters should be read and the reading guide completed. Your reading guide must be hand-written, not typed. You may find the reading guide on the school website and on Mr. Knight’s Canvas page. • • • • • Ch. 51. Animal Behavior Ch. 52. An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ch. 53. Population Ecology Ch. 54. Community Ecology Ch. 55. Ecosystems and Restoration Ecology It is our goal that the AP Biology course offered to students at University High School provide students with the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology. We are confident that AP Biology can help you greatly as you continue to develop the academic skills necessary to succeed in college, while providing you with a realistic notion of what college courses may be like. Despite the rigor of this course, an overwhelming majority of students enrolled pass the AP exam (≈ 96%), and find it very rewarding and enjoyable! We look forward to seeing you in the Fall! Additional information regarding AP Biology at University High School and the summer requirements can be obtained by e-mailing: [email protected] and [email protected] Sincerely, David Knight AP Biology Instructor Tom Shrake AP Biology Instructor ESTABLISHED 1970 . . . a community of learners moving together toward the highest quality educational experience we can envision Name Date: CHAPTER 51: ANIMAL BEHAVIOR CONCEPT 51.1 DISCRETE SENSORY INPUTS CAN STIMULATE BOTH SIMPLE AND COMPLEX BEHAVIORS 1.

While emigration is the Exiting of individuals from a population.) 45. Label the dispersion pattern shown by each population in the figure below. Second, and most important, what do the dispersion patterns tell us about the population and its interactions? 46. Is your biology class a cohort? Explain. 9|Page 47.

On what is the life history of an organism based? 56. What three variables form the life history of a species? 11 | P a g e 57. Explain the difference between semelparity (big-bang reproduction) and iteroparity (repeated reproduction) as life history strategies. 58. The end of this concept attempts to bring together the idea of life histories and growth models. This is done with the introduction of two new terms: K-selection and r-selection. Explain the ideas behind the creation of these two terms. CONCEPT 53.5 MANY FACTORS THAT REGULATE POPULATION GROWTH ARE DENSITY DEPENDENT 59. Compare and contrast these two terms: a. Density-independent regulation: b. Density-dependent regulation: CONCEPT 53.6 THE HUMAN POPULATION IS NO LONGER GROWING EXPONENTIALLY BUT IS STILL INCREASING RAPIDLY 60. You should be able to look at age-structure graphs and make predictions about the future growth of the population. Using Figure 53.24 in your text, describe the key features for the three age-structure graphs and predict how the population of each country will grow. 12 | P a g e CHAPTER 54: COMMUNITY ECOLOGY CONCEPT 54.1 COMMUNITY INTERACTIONS ARE CLASSIFIED BY WHETHER THEY HELP, HARM, OR HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE SPECIES INVOLVED. 61.
