Answer all questions on a separate sheet of paper. Start studying over winter recess. . Extra help and
review sessions TBA (to be determined….check my HW page)
INTRO
1) Name the steps of the scientific method. (QHEIC)
2) Explain the difference between inference and observation.
3) What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative observations?
4) Name 3 lab safety rules
5) What is the control group in an experiment and why do we need it?
6) What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable?
7) Why do we need constants in an investigation?
8) Metric- (KHDUdcm) . What are the metric units for mass, volume, and length?
9) What is density and how can you figure it out? D=M/V. How does density determine sinking and
floating? Density stays the same when an object is cut!
10) How do you construct a line graph?
MRGRAM
1) What are the 6 characteristics of all living things?
2) Who was Robert Hooke? Anton von Leewenhoek? Schleiden, Schwann.
3) What are the three steps of the Cell Theory
4) A group of organs working together makes up an ____________ system.
5) You should know Levels the organization as they increase in complexity:
cells-----tissues------organs-------organ systems------organism
6) The smallest part of all living things is the ___________.
Microscopes/FOV
1) List all parts and functions of a compound light microscope.
2)
How do you determine the magnifying power of a microscope? (what 2 things do you multiply together)
3) If the field of view on a microscope is 6mm and you can fit 18 cells across, what is the estimated size
of each cell?
4) Compare compound microscope, stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope.
Photosynthesis
1) What is photosynthesis? Cellular respiration? How do they compare and which cell organelle do they
take place in?
2)
Be able to identify the parts of Plant and Animal cells. (Cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria,
lysosomes, ribosomes, golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and vacuoles)
3) What two parts do plants cells have that animal cells do not have? What is their purpose?
4) How is the vacuole different in plant cells .vs. animal cells?
5) What two parts do plants cells have that animal cells do not have?
Form Fits Function
1) You should be able to explain how when it comes to cells the phrase, form fits function. Explain
what this means and give 2 examples of cells that are good examples of form fits function (sperm
cells, nerve cells, red blood cells).
2) A group of organs working together makes up an ____________system
3) Difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
VIRUS/Bacteria
1) Is a virus living? Explain What are the 4 steps to a virus invading a cell?
2) Do bacteria have nuclei? Do bacteria have cell walls?
3) What are the 5 groups of beneficial bacteria? Be able to state a few facts about each type.
Classification
1) You should know the classification system (KPCOFGS): Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family,
Genus, Species. Which is largest, smallest?
2) Define: binomial nomenclature, common names vs. scientific names
3) Know how to use a dichotomous key.
4) What would happen if scientists used only common names?
5) What are 4 functions of scientific name?
Labs: Make sure you review ALL labs since September. They have all the topics, information, charts,
diagrams and graphing- EX: Black Box Lab reviews observation, inference, and using your senses!
Labs work- Black Boxlab, M&M Lab, Gummy Bear Lab
TBB Mass, Mealworms Day 1&2, Cell projects, Cheek Cell Lab,
Plant (Elodea) Cell Lab, Battlefield cell,
