The Basics (Chapter 1)

Biology

1. Biology is the study of _______Living organisms___________________________.

Metric System

2. Fill in the chart to identify the basic units in the metric system

|To measure… |Use… |

|Length |Meters |

|Volume |Liters |

|Mass |Grams |

Scientific Method

3. Complete each step of the Scientific Method below:

a) State __the question_____or make an ____observation_______________

b) Gather__background information___________________________

c) Form _____Hypothesis_____________________________________

d) Test _______Hypothesis_______________________________

e) Collect and analyze ____Data______________________________

f) Draw ______Conclusion______________________________

*Retest the hypothesis*

4. What is a hypothesis? A possible, testable, explanation

5. When is a conclusion made? At the end of your experiment

6. Why do scientists use controlled experiments? So they have something to compare it to

**ONE Variable at a time!!!**

Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

7. Based on the experiment above, identify:

*Manipulated variable or independent variable -_____Coconut Juice___________________

*Responding variable or dependent variable-______Appearance of Slime____________

*Controlled variables – _________Side sprayed with water____________________________

*Hypothesis-(if, then statement) ___If the shower is sprayed with coconut juice, then it will get rid of the slime_______

8. There are two types of data to collect: quantitative and qualitative

(numbers/amounts) (descriptions)

Use the graph to the right to answer the next three questions.

9. The manipulated/independent variable:

Month

10. The responding/dependent variable:

Number of critters

11. What can you conclude based on this data?

There is an increase in critters in the spring months

The Microscope

Use the word bank to label the parts of the microscope.

Chemistry! (Chapter 3)

34. What is an enzyme? Speeds up the reaction

35. How can you recognize an enzyme? Ends in “ase”

Acids and Bases

41. Bases contain Hydroxide OH- ions

42. Acids contain Hydrogen H+ ions

ACID BASE

H+ > OH- Neutral H+ < OH-

pH _0___ to pH_6.9____ pH __7____ pH _7.1____ to pH _14_____

43. What does a buffer do?

Balances out the pH.

Organic vs. Inorganic (molecules, not food)

44. Organic molecules/substances contain the element __Carbon___ (super important!) 45. One exception: CO2

46. Organic compounds can form Polymers (like how letters get organized into words)

47. The six most abundant elements found in all living organisms

Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorous Sulfur

48. Fill in the table below with descriptions and examples of the four organic biological compounds of life:

|Compound |Description/Job |Examples |

|Carbohydrates |Contain C, H, and O; end in –ose; necessary for |Breads, Grains, Starch, Fruit, Sugar |

| |energy; can be used for structure | |

|Lipids |Waxy, oily; store energy, protect organs, help nervous|Butter, Milk, Oil |

| |system | |

|Proteins |For structure, storage, transport, enzymes, defense; |Muscle, Enzymes, Hair, Steak |

| |made of amino acids | |

|Nucleic Acids |Used to transmit genetic information |DNA, RNA |

49. What are some differences between saturated and unsaturated fats?

Saturated fats come from animals, have SINGLE bonds, are solid at room temperature, and are considered “bad fats.” Unsaturated fats are oils, have DOUBLE bonds, generally liquid at room temperature, and are considered “good fats.”

50. Make bigger organic molecules through _Dehydration Synthesis _____

--removing _Water______ to join molecules together

51. Make smaller organic molecules through __Hydrolysis ________

--adding _Water______________ to break molecules apart

Cells (Chapter 5)

52. Be able to identify and label the

organelles and structures in a plant cell

53. Which organelles are only found

in plant cells?

_Chloroplasts, Cell wall, large vacuole_

54. Know the function of the following

organelles:

o Cell Membrane

▪ Protects and supports cells

▪ Proteins and Carbohydrates also play a role

o Cell Wall

▪ Provides structure and protection____ for a PLANT cell

▪ Made up of Cellulose________

o Golgi Apparatus

▪ Collect, modify, package and distribute Proteins_________

o Lysosomes

▪ Break down things in cell (food, invaders, old organelles)

Movement Through the Cell Membrane
