Chapter 4

Definition of metabolism

What is cellular respiration?

State the first and second laws of thermodynamics-

Understand that energy from the sun fuels almost all of life on earth.

Know that chemical reactions in the cell either require or release energy

Understand that energy is stored in chemical bonds

Know the three major processes in cell metabolism, where they occur and major products of each.

Glycolysis- glucose- pyruvate

Kreb cycle

Electron transport system

Define activation energy

Define ATP

Know the definition and function of enzymes

Know the factors that affect enzyme functioning

Define selective permeability and state the importance in cell membranes

Diffusion

Osmosis

Concentration gradient

Tonicity-

isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic solutions and how and why it affects the cell shape

active transport compared to passive transport

aerobic

anaerobic

fermentation

Explain the function of electron carriers (NADH and FADH) and where they are produced

Chapter 5

Know the chemical reaction and process of photosynthesis

Know the major reactants and products of each major process of photo-synthesis

(Light dependent and light independent- Calvin cycle)

Dark reaction

Carbon fixation

Autotroph

Heterotroph

Chloroplast, stroma, thylakoid membrane, and chlorophyll

Explain the function of electron carriers (NADH and FADH)

Chapter 6

Define the term chromosome and sister chromatid

Centromere

Histones

DNA double helix shape

Know the components of a Nucleotide

Know the nucleotide strand backbone (sugar-phoshpate-sugar-phosphate)

Know the four DNA Nitrogenous bases

Know Nucleotide base pairing rules

What is a Karyotype

Know the total number of chromosomes in a human body cell.

Know the total number of chromosomes in a human sex (gamete) cell

Compare and contrast autosomes and sex chromosomes

Know the difference in sex chromosomes of males versus females

Draw a simple representation of two parent DNA strands, two separated strands and two strands that have replicated from the parents.

Understand the cells replicate their DNA (create sisters chromatid) before they divide during interphase of the cells life cycle

Chapter 8

Interphase

Diploid

Haploid

Asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction

Alleles

Zygote

Egg

Sperm

Fertilization

Crossing over

Gamete

Gametophyte

Sporophyte

Compare and contrast Mitosis and Meiosis

Why is mitosis considered conservative cell replication?

Why is meiosis considered division reduction cell replication?

Difference in male and females produce gametes.
