Biology Term Scavenger Hunt For this part of your summer assignment, you will be familiarizing yourself with some of the science terms that we will be using at different points throughout the year. PROCEDURE: 1. Select and “collect” 25 pictures using the groupings or terms: (When I say “collect”, I mean you should collect that item by finding it and taking a photograph (digital). 2. The other 25 points will come from creating and presenting a power-point, of your photographs. Each slide will include 1.) The picture of the term or grouping/terms, 2.) a definition of term and 3.) an explanation of how term applies to the picture. ( See the example below.) These will be due during the first day of school in August on a labelled jump drive! You do not need to find the exact item on the list, say for example, if it is an internal part to an organism (I don’t want you to hurt any living organism), but you must apply the term to the specimen you find and in the explanation tell how this specimen represents the term. EXAMPLE: If you choose the term “phloem”, you could submit a photograph you have taken of a plant leaf or a plant stem and then define phloem and explain on your slide show what phloem is and specifically where phloem is in your specimen. ORIGINAL PHOTOS: You must have taken the photograph yourself. The best way to prove that is to place an item in all of your photographs that only you could have added each time, something that you might usually have on you like a ring or a necklace or a key or your cell phone, etc. It must be the same item for each picture and must be in every picture. You could also take a “selfie” with each item. You cannot use an image from any publication or the Web. NATURAL ITEMS ONLY: Each specimen (picture) may NOT be used for more than one item. Take a walk around your yard, neighborhood, and town. DON’T SPEND ANY MONEY! Research what the term means and in what organisms it can be found... and then go out and find one. TEAMWORK: Feel free to help each other with words and definitions but no students should have the same picture for the same definition. Yes, I know that the water on the penny is not a natural item. Since cohesion is one property of water, I did not want to give any natural hints. BIOLOGY COLLECTION TERMS Groupings – Each specimen is worth 3 points. Total points for each grouping indicated by the group and each grouping must include all points. The bold words are the important terms in the groupings. HAPPY HUNTING. 1. Different biomes (9 points – so you may have 3 different biomes represented; name the specific biome) 2. Different types of carbohydrates (monosaccharides, starches, cellulose, chitin - 12 points) 3. Evidence of 2 different alleles for the same trait (6 points) 4. Organisms in 3 different animal phyla (9 points) 5. Organisms in 3 different plant divisions (9 points) 6. Two organisms in the same class but different orders (6 points) 7. Two organisms in the same genus but different species (6 points) 8. Three organisms on different levels of the same food chain (9 points) 9. Organism exhibiting the different types of interspecific species interactions (competition, predation, herbivory, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism - 18 points) 10. Three properties of water (9 points) Individual items – each specimen is worth 3 points. You may only have one example of each item. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. adaptation of a plant adaptation of an animal altruistic behavior amniotic egg analogous structures animal that has a segmented body anther & filament of stamen autotroph Batesian mimicry Bilateral symmetry biological magnification C 4 plant C3 plant cambium cellular respiration coevolution connective tissue cuticle layer of a plant detritivore deuterostome dicot plant with flower & leaf diploid chromosome number dominant vs recessive phenotype ectotherm endotherm epithelial tissue exoskeleton feedback mechanism – positive or negative fermentation 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. flower ovary frond gametophyte genetic variation within a population genetically modified organism gymnosperm cone haploid chromosome number Heterotroph Homeostasis Homologous structures Introduced species Keystone species K-strategist lipid used for energy storage littoral zone organism mating behavior (be careful!) meristem modified leaf of a plant modified root of a plant modified stem of a plant monocot plant with flower & leaf Mullerian mimicry mycelium mycorrhizae niche Pathogen phloem 57. plant hormone (name hormone) 58. pollen 59. pollinator 60. protein 61. protostome 62. radial symmetry 63. rhizome 64. r-strategist 65. spore 66. sporophyte 67. stem – herbaceous 68. stem – woody 69. stigma & style of carpel 70. succession – primary or secondary 71. taxis 72. tropism 73. unicellular organism 74. vestigial structures 75. xylem Please complete the term and picture/explanation columns in the grade sheet below.

To insure you get all points. Points In Biology, chemistry is the basis for all biotic or abiotic factors. The questions below are knowledge you should have learned in Chemistry class. I will not review this information. Answer the following questions over chemistry in complete sentences. This will be your 1st daily grade. It is due on the first day of school. 1. What is the difference between elements and compounds? 2. Name the four elements essential to life that make up 96% of living matter. 3. Draw a sodium atom. 4. Define and distinguish among atomic number, mass number and atomic mass. 5. What is a valence electron and how many does your sodium atom have? 6. Explain what radioisotopes are and why they are important to biologists? 7. Explain the octet rule. 8. Compare and contrast between nonpolar covalent, polar covalent and ionic bonds. 9. Define the following key terms: a. atoms, b. elements, c. compounds, d. protons, e. neutrons, f. electrons, g. molecules, h. ions, i. cations, j. anions, k. isotopes, l. half-life, m. chemical equilibrium, n. energy, o. electronegativity 10. Complete the chart for each of the following functional groups: include a picture of the functional group, name of compounds formed by the groups, examples and properties of the functional group. (this is the only new chemistry information but is important to know for our discussion of macromolecules) Functional group Hydroxyl Carboxyl Amino Phosphate Carbonyl Methyl Name of compounds formed by groups Properties of the functional group Examples of functional group
