Colegio Karl C. Parrish A Tradition of Excellence AP Biology Curricular Standards and Pacing Guide Grade 10 Adopted from California State Standards (2012) http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/ Prepared by A. Morgan, Curriculum Coordinator SEMESTER I Ref # Pacing guides Sub-standard or standard if stand alone There are several hypotheses about the natural origin of life on Earth, each with supporting scientific evidence. Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce and maintain organization. 1.D.1, 2.A.3, 3.A.1, 4.A.1, 4.B.1, 4.C.1 Unit 1 Weeks 1-3 DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information. The subcomponents of biological molecules and their sequence determine the properties of that molecule. Interactions between molecules affect their structure and function. Variation in molecular units provides cells with Essential Question(s) or enduring understanding How are biological molecules necessary for organisms to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain organization?

How do shared conserved cellular processes support the idea that all organisms are linked by lines of descent from common ancestry? Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce and maintain organization. How do cells create and maintain internal environments that are different from their external environments? Eukaryotic cells maintain internal membranes that partition the cell into specialized regions. Cell membranes are selectively permeable due to their structure Growth and dynamic homeostasis are maintained by the constant movement of molecules across membranes. How do structure and function of subcellular components and their interactions provide essential cellular processes? How do cells maintain dynamic homeostasis by the movement of molecules across membranes? Chapters: 6. A Tour of the Cell 7. Membrane Structure and Function DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information. The structure and function of subcellular components, and their interactions provide essential cellular processes. Cooperative interaction within organisms promotes efficiency in the use of energy and matter. Change in the genetic makeup of a population over time is evolution. The origin of living systems is explained by natural processes. 1.A, 1.D, 2.B , 4.A, 4.B How do biological systems utilize free energy to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain homeostasis? How do organisms capture, use, and store free energy? Unit 3 Weeks7-10 Growth, reproduction and maintenance of the organization of living systems require free energy and matter. Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. How are external signals converted into cellular responses? Chapters: 8. An Introduction to Metabolism 9. Cellular Respiration 10. Photosynthesis 11. Cell communication Competition and cooperation are important biological systems. Change in the genetic makeup of a population over time is evolution. Many biological processes involved in growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis include temporal regulation and coordination. 1.A, 2.E, 3.A, 3.B, 3.D, 3.C, 4.C, Heritable information provides for continuity of life. Unit 4 Weeks 1114 Expression of genetic information involves cellular and molecular mechanisms. Cells communicate by generating, transmitting and receiving chemical signals. The processing of genetic information is imperfect and is a source of genetic variation. Naturally occurring diversity How do living systems store, retrieve, and transmit genetic information critical to life processes? How does the expression of genetic material control cell products which, in turn, determine the metabolism and nature of the cell? What is the relationship between changes in genotype and phenotype and evolution? How can humans use genetic engineering techniques to manipulate genetic information? What are ethical issues raised by the application of these techniques? Chapters: 12. The Cell Cycle 13. Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles 14. Mendel and the Gene Idea 15.
