Biology Part A Study Guide 1. List the steps of the scientific method. 2. Identify dependent and independent variables. 3. List the major body systems and the major function of each 4. What is homeostasis? 5. How does negative feedback work to maintain homeostasis? Be able to apply to a situation such as thermoregulation or blood sugar regulation. 6. Follow the path of energy through a plant in photosynthesis, starting with the sun and ending in sugar . Then follow the path of energy in respiration, starting with sugar and ending in ATP. 7. What is the difference between a covalent and ionic bond? 8. What makes a molecule “organic”? 9. How do the bonding properties of carbon make it an element that is the basis of structure for all living things? 10. What are the 4 types of organic macromolecules? Know their functions and the monomers that they are made from. 11. What type of carbohydrate is in the cell wall of a plant 12. List the levels of organization of living things. (Begin with atom and end with organism – there should be 8) 13. List organelles and their functions. 14. Differentiate hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solutions. Tell what would happen if a cell were placed in each. 15. Draw a phospholipid and label parts. Which part is charged? 16. Write out the reaction for respiration. 17. Explain why fermentation happens? 18. What are the two types of fermentation? 19. 20. Draw a mitochondria and label parts. 21. For the following processes, know where they happen, the products & reactants, and how much ATP is made. a. Glycolysis b. Krebs Cycle c. Electron Transport Chain 22. Which stage of respiration makes the most ATP? How many ATP are made? 23. Write out the reaction for photosynthesis. 24. Draw a chloroplast and label parts 25. What happens in the light-dependent reactions, where do they happen, and what are the products & reactants? 26. What is the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions), where do they happen, and what are the products & reactants? 27. Know stages of the cell cycle and mitosis. 28. Why do cells undergo mitosis? Why do certain cells divide more often than others? 29. Is the chromosome number maintained during mitosis? (Does it stay the same?) 30. Be able to analyze a food web, knowing how changes would affect others, according to their feeding relationships. . Ex: What factors would affect the rabbit population shown here? a. 31. What is an ecosystem? 32. Differentiate primary and secondary succession. 33. How does pH work? Be sure to know how H+ and OH- concentrations change according to pH levels. 34. Identify similarities and differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
