chloroplast, mitochondria, central vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and golgi apparatus
Draw and color an animal cell with the following labeled: the cell membrane, nucleus,
mitochondria, golgi apparatus, ER, and ribosome
Give the functions of the following organelles: nucleus, cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplast,
mitochondria, central vacuole, ER, golgi apparatus, and ribosome
Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. (Include at least 2 similarities and 2 differences.)
Name three differences between plant and animal cells

Chapter 2 Cell Transport
Contrast passive transport and active transport explaining whether or not energy is used and the
direction of material movement (from high to low concentration, or low to high concentration).
Describe diffusion and list the substances involved.
Describe osmosis and list the substances involved.
Describe what would happen to a cell in a hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solution
Describe facilitated diffusion and list the substances involved.
Describe endocytosis and exocytosis and the types of substances involved.
Describe the movement of substances in the sodium-potassium pump

Chapter 3 Cellular Respiration/Photosynthesis
Define ATP
Describe the process of photosynthesis including the starting reactants and ending products and
organisms involved.
Describe the process of cellular respiration including amount of ATP produced, starting reactants
and ending products. List the three stages of aerobic cellular respiration.
Compare anaerobic and aerobic respiration including conditions in which each would take place
and total amount of ATP produced in each.

Draw, color, and label the stages of mitosis
Describe what happens in each stage of mitosis
Draw a chromosome and label the following: chromosome, chromatid, centromere.
Define homologous chromosomes
Describe 3 processes that lead to new genetic recombinations (contribute to genetic variety).

Chapter 6 Mendel and Heredity
Describe Mendel’s studies and explain why he is known as the “father of genetics.”
Define genotype and phenotype and include examples of each.
Define homozygous and heterozygous and include examples of each.
Define Independent assortment and linked genes
Draw a punnett square for a trait showing complete dominance (monohybrid cross). Label both
genotype and phenotype of both parents and all offspring. Also note genotype and phenotype
ratios (probabilities).
Define/Explain polygenic inheritance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, and codominance
Explain why sex-linked traits occur in males more often than females. Give an example of a trait
or disease that is sex-linked.
Construct a pedigree (must include a key) showing at least 3 generations. Explain whether the
trait shown is dominant or recessive and how you could tell by using the pedigree (not because
you happen to know a particular trait is dominant!)

Chapter 7 DNA, RNA, Proteins
Draw a DNA molecule in double helix shape.
Show and label base pairs – use the full words or a key to explain what the “letters” stand for!
Draw and label the 3 parts of a nucleotide.
Explain 3 differences in structure between DNA and RNA.
Describe the process of DNA replication (include both enzymes names & functions).
Describe the role of messenger RNA and transfer RNA in building proteins.
Explain codons and amino acids and how they’re related to proteins. Show the steps taken to
translate a 9-base DNA strand (you can make one up!) into an amino acid sequence. (Show
DNA, RNA, and amino acids.)
