Unit 1 Cell structure and Function NAB I know what a cell is I know the two different categories of cells: I can identify all the structures in a plant and animal cell I Can draw and label a typical plant cell and a typical animal cell I Can name 3 substances produced by micro-organisms, state how they are produced and describe how they are used by man. I can define the processes of diffusion and osmosis I know why diffusion and osmosis are important to living cells. I can complete a diagram to show the direction of water movements between hypotonic and hypertonic solutions. I can explain the effect of a hypotonic and a hypertonic solution on a plant cell, and an animal cell. I can explain how a Paramecium controls water balance when placed in a Hypotonic solution. Enzymes I understand the terms enzyme and specificity. I can write a word equation for the action of… Amylase, Potato phosphorylase, and catalase. I know the difference between a synthesis enzyme and a degradation enzyme. I know the three main properties of a catalyst I can draw a graph to show how an enzyme effects reaction rate. I can draw a diagram to illustrate the lock and key theory of enzyme action. I can explain the term optimum in terms of enzyme action. I can draw a graph to show how temperature and pH effect enzyme action. Respiration I can define the words glucose and respiration. I can show how ATP stores energy. I can summarize respiration with a word equation. I can explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I know the names of the different products produced when a plant cell and an animal cell respires anaerobically. I know what the products of glycolysis are. I can draw a table to summarize the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Prelim Exam Photosynthesis I know what the energy source is for photosynthesis. I can define the term photosynthesis and I can write a word equation for photosynthesis I know that photosynthesis can be split into two parts I know what the storage carbohydrate is called that is produced from glucose. I know what the structural carbohydrate is called that is produced from glucose. I know what a limiting factor is. I can explain how limiting factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis. I know how the rate of photosynthesis can be measure. I can draw graphs to show the effect of changing carbon dioxide concentrations, and temperature on the rate of photosynthesis. Unit 2 Ecosystems I can identify the main components of an ecosystem. I can draw a simple food chain containing grass, cow and human. I can identify the producer and consumers in a food chain. I know what the arrows in a food chain represent and know how energy is lost in a food chain. I can define and draw a pyramid of numbers, a pyramid of energy and a pyramid of biomass, and know the difference between them. I can define a species. I can explain the importance of biodiversity to a species and an ecosystem. I can give one example of how a species has adapted to an ecological niche. I can explain the effects of grazing and human activities on species diversity and biodiversity. I can Describe the link between deforestation and flooding. I can explain why animals have behavioral responses. I can explain competition and know what resources plants and animals may compete for. Factors affecting Variety in a Species I can define a gamete. I can describe the process of fertilization in plants and animals. I know how genetic information is contained in the cell, and how it is used by the cell. I can define meiosis. I can explain sex determination in humans. I can define the terms gene, and allele. I can explain the difference between homozygous and heterozygous. I can define the term genotype and phenotype. I can use a monohybrid cross to determine the genotype and phenotype of an organism. I can use a punnet square to calculate phenotypic ratios. I can explain the terms co-dominance and polygenic inheritance. I know that Genetic and Environmental Factors determine the final phenotype of an organism, and can give examples. I can explain the importance of natural selection in the evolution of a species. I can explain the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering. I can describe the process of genetic engineering. I can give two examples of the uses (applications) of genetic engineering I can complete a table to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering. Unit 3 Mammalian Nutrition I can state the three main food types I can identify the chemical tests for glucose, starch, protein and fat. I can complete a table that includes the main food groups, what their basic units are and what their main function is. I can define digestion, and explain why it is important. I can identify the organs in the alimentary canal and know their main functions. I can state the enzymes involved in the digestion of the three main food groups. I can explain the process of digestion from beginning to end. I know the fate of the end products of digestion. Control of the Internal Environment I can define the term physiological homeostasis I can define the term osmoregulation I can identify the main structures in I can state the main ways in which water is gained and lost by the body. I explain the role of the kidney and Nephron in water balance. I can explain the terms filtration and reabsorption. I can label the structure of the kidney Nephron and know the functions of each structure in the Nephron. I can identify urea as a waste product, and can state where it is produced why it is produced and how it is transported. I can complete a table that compares and contrasts the problems associated with osmoregulation in marine bony fish and fresh water bony fish. I can identify the physiological adaptations of the marine bony fish and the fresh water bony fish which assist them with osmoregulation. I can draw a negative feedback loop for osmoregulation that includes the role of ADH Circulation and gas exchange I can Label the heart chambers, the valves and colour code the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood in a diagram I can identify the main blood vessels in the circularity system and understand their function. I can Draw a labelled diagram of each of the three types of blood vessel (artery, capillary and vein) showing the structure features of each type. I can identify the four features which make the alveoli in the lungs efficient gas exchange organs. I know why is the capillary network suited to its function I can identify the main components of blood. I can write the equation for oxygen uptake by haemoglobin I understand the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on haemoglobin I can describe the process of Phagocytosis (non-specific defence) in four stages, with diagrams. I can describe the process of Antibody defence by lymphocytes (specific defence) in four stages, with diagrams. Sensory mechanisms and processing of information I can identify the two components of the CNS, and can describe the function of the CNS. I can labels a diagram of the CNS and explain the function of each component. I can identify the discrete strip of the cerebrum associated with motor function I understand the difference between the nervous system and the CNS. I can explain the function of a reflex arc. I can draw a diagram to illustrate an example of a reflex arc. I can explain the importance of negative feedback in temperature control. I can draw a diagram of a negative feedback loop to show how the body controls temperature.
