First Semester Exam Review Topics – Carbon Cycle
?!
Photosynthesis collects CO2 vs. Cellular Respiration releases CO2 in rough
Balance to maintain atmospheric levels.
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Global Warming
Rapid and Recent Increase in
the average temperature of
the Earth following the
beginning of the Industrial
Revolution.
Linked to the release of CO2
into the atmosphere which
absorbs radiation and traps
heat.
Excess CO2 results from
Combustion of fossil fuels.
All related to the Greenhouse
Effect.
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Nitrogen Cycle
Why is Nitrogen
essential to all living
things?
What form does that
Nitrogen need to be
in to become
available to the Food
Web?
What important plants
are especially
important in the
Nitrogen Cycle and
what do they have?
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Bioaccumulation
Pollution affects
organisms
when it become
concentrated
enough to
damage them.
Producers collect
a little of the
toxic chemicals,
but the higher
organisms in
the Food Web
end up with
toxic levels.
Who is affected?
Where is the
Toxic
Chemical
Stored?
How did the
environment
become
exposed?
Why did the
Producers not
die?
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Dead Zones
Ecosystems SHOULD be in rough Balance! If there is an over-abundance
of Nutrient Run-off from farmlands, the algae “Bloom” and this leads
to loss of Oxygen – Dead Zones!
Nutrients cause too much
Algal Growth, leaving
too much dead algae!
Decomposers then
Overgrow and use the
Oxygen!!
Red Tide does Something
Else! Toxic!
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Organic Compounds
Living Things are mostly composed of Organic Compounds.
Organic mean Based
on CARBON!!
Carbon is the BFF
that holds all of the
various atoms
together.
Bonds in three
dimensions and can
form highly
complex, large
molecules.
Typically, other
elements involved
in Organic
Molecules include
H,N, and O =
96+% of all living
matter!
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Organic Compounds
There are four (4) basic types of Organic Compounds.
CARBOHYDRATES are
Sugars and are universal
energy sources!
Photosynthesis!!
Monosaccharides such as
Glucose = Blood Sugar!
Benedict’s Test turns Orange
Polysaccharides that store glucose
and thus energy.
Starch stores energy in Plants – Iodine
test = Black.
Cellulose in Cell Walls of Plants.
Glycogen stores energy in Animals.
LIPIDS are Fats and
are good for energy
storage!
Triglyceride with
three Fatty Acids.
P
Phospholipid
found in
Membranes.
Lipids are Non-Polar and do not
dissolve in Water = Insoluble.

First Semester Exam Review Topics - Photosynthesis
Plants Require CO2 and H2O!!! They then use
those Reactants to produce Glucose!!
Stomata Control Everything since they determine
TRANSPIRATION and delivery of the Reactants!!
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Cellular Respiration
Fermentation

If O2 present =
Aerobic!
If O2 NOT present
= Anaerobic!

36-38 ATP!
First Semester Exam Review Topics – ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate. THE Basic Energy Carrying
Molecule of Cells. Can pass energy on to other molecules to
drive Metabolism via the third Phosphate Group. Cycles back
and forth with ADP.

Fermentation is Anaerobic!! Useful Process for many different
Foods. All are sealed during their Production!

First Semester Exam Review Topics – Cell Cycle
The Production of new cells should be tightly controlled!
Daughter Cells are only made
when there is space during
Growth and Healing.
Cells have to “shut-down” DNA
as Chromosomes!
Most Cells Do Not Divide as they are
specialized to function. G0 cells are
“working” and typically cannot do
Mitosis.
DNA is Chromatin and in Use!
In Mitosis, all of the Daughter Cells are Genetically Identical (barring
Mutation), but since they “Express” different genes in different ways,
they can “Differentiate” into very different cellis: e.g., Muscle and
Nerve Cells that are very active (lots of Mitochondria!), or Connective
Tissue Cells, etc…
First Semester Exam Review Topics – Cancer
The Cell Cycle is controlled by Genes just like everything else! If
those genes are mutated, then the Cell Cycle will be affected.
Those Daughter Cells SHOULD stop
growing when they contact each other
(Contact Inhibition!) and then shift to
G0 and get to Work!.
IF the Cell Cycle is disrupted (e.g., by
mutated Oncogenes), this process
cannot stop when it SHOULD!
Cancer is caused by Mutation. Major causes include UV Radiation
(Ozone is Important!!), Smoking (Don’t do it!), Viruses (new vaccines
can prevent!), and Replication Errors (No Fix There).
