Name: _______________________________ Life Science Midterm Study Guide 2017 Overview: This Study Guide is a compilation of all past study guides. You may use this to guide your studies in addition to using past tests and study guides. I have also provided an additional study guide in a separate format as an additional resource. You may also want to read through your notebook and high light important concepts for review and create flashcards for major vocabulary and/or concepts. Some questions are not reviewed specifically as they require you to use your knowledge of the subject and then apply it to the scenario given. These will be discussed in class and you may take additional notes at that time. 1. Which Scientist experimented with Meat and Maggots? 2. Would life exist if our planet did not meet our 5 basic needs? 3. How many times must an experiment be successfully completed in order for it to be considered valid? 4. Science is__________________________________________________________. 5. The Scientist who finally disproved Spontaneous Generation was __________________ 6. Memorize the Cell Theory. 7. What are plants and animals made of? 8. Review your notes packet. What are some differences between plant cells and animal cells? Do all cells have a cell well? Do all cells have a nucleus? 1 Name: _______________________________ 9.

Vocabulary Terms to Know You should be familiar with all of the terms we discussed in class and be able to answer questions about them. The specific matching terms are as follows, but you will need to know more information in general in order to fully prepare for the test. Organisms Differentiation Habitat Haploid Cell Metaphase Gene Centromere Variation Dominant Trait Asexual Phenotype Interphase DNA Organs 7 Name: _______________________________ Short Answer Questions 1. What are the 5 basic needs of living organisms? (5pts) 2. Explain the development and organization of cells, starting with stem cells and ending with organ systems. This should be written as 2-3 complex sentences explaining the processes discussed in class. (5pts) 3. A dragon breeder bred a purebred green female with a purebred grey male. All four of the baby dragons were green. Explain why. (5pts) 4. If the same dragon breeder then bred two of the baby dragons, and they produced four offspring, what color would the dragons likely be? Draw a Punnett square and use the probability rule to explain your answer. (5pts) 5. Application: Create a family pedigree for the family of dragons described above. Assume that the four dragon’s color is representative of the probability displayed in the Punnett Squares you created for your short answers above. (5pts) Essay 1.
