SBI 3C Biology - Exam Review
Complete the following review in pen or pencil on lined paper.
Unit # 1 - Cell Biology
Diagrams to label / identify – plant and animal cell, monosaccharide, nucleic acid,
protein, phospholipid, triglyceride
1. Make a table with the following cell parts. In the second column give the function of
the cell part and in the third column sketch what it looks like. Nucleus, nucleolus,
ribosome, mitochondria, vacuole, golgi, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vesicle, SER,
RER, cell wall, chloroplast. (the last two are found in plant cells only)
2. Make a table with the following macromolecules. In the second column give the
function of the macromolecule, in the third column draw and name one or two
examples: carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, fat
3. Give two differences between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
4. What does an enzyme do? What two conditions affect their activity?
5. What is the difference between passive and active transport?
6. Give one similarity and one difference between osmosis and diffusion.
7. Describe isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
8. What is the difference between respiration and photosynthesis? Compare their
reactions.
9. Draw a diagram showing what are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis and
where they are on a plant.
10. What is anaerobic cellular respiration? What are two possible products of it? What
common food making process uses it?
Unit # 2 - Genetics
Diagrams to label / identify – mitosis, meiosis
11. Define the following terms: gene, genotype, phenotype, heterozygous,
homozygous, diploid, haploid, homologous chromosomes, sister chromatids
12. Name and describe the stages of mitosis.
13. Name and describe the stages of meiosis.
14. What is non-disjunction and describe a disorder caused by it.
15. In cats striped fur is recessive to plain fur. If a striped cat is mated with a
heterozygous cat, give the genotypic and phenotypic percents of their offspring.
16. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. If a woman, with brown eyes, whose
father had blue eyes, and man with homozygous brown eyes have children, what
are the phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?
17. A black chicken is crossed with a white hen. They are both dominant traits. What
are crossed, give the genotypic and phenotypic percents of their offspring.
18. A man who is colour blind marries a woman who is a carrier. What is the chance of
them having a) a colour blind son b) a colour blind daughter?
19. Some flowers have pink petals, some have white petals, and some have pink AND
white petals. Find the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross
between a pink petal flower and a pink and white petal flower.

each.
25. Explain how bacteria and viruses are different.
26. “Bacteria are harmful to our health” Do you agree or disagree? Explain why.
