Study Guide for the
\nBiology Semester 1 Final Exam<\/p>\n

Scientific Method (Chapter 1)
\n1.\tWhat are the steps of the scientific method in order?
\n2.\tDefine these words: independent variable, dependent variable, quantitative data, qualitative data, control, hypothesis
\n3.\tMr. Kennedy has created a new sauce that he thinks will reduce the production of body gas. He recruits 100 customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) take a special pill he thinks will reduce gas. The other 50 (Group B) take a “sugar” pill that looks just like his special gas pill. Both groups were told that they were getting the pill that would reduce gas production. Two hours after taking the pill, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems.
\na)\tWhich people are in the control group?
\nb)\tWhat is the independent variable?
\nc)\tWhat is the dependent variable?
\nd)\tWhat should Mr. Kennedy\u2019s conclusion be?<\/p>\n

Organic Molecules (Chapter 3)

\n7.\tDefine hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis.
\n8.\tDuring hydrolysis is energy released or gained?<\/p>\n

Cell Parts & Cell Theory (Chapter 4)
\n1.\tWhat characteristics do all living things have?
\n2.\tWhat are the three parts of the cell theory?
\n3.\tGive the function of these organelles: cell (plasma) membrane, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuoles, nucleus, chloroplasts, ribosomes.
\n4.\tWhat are the main differences between plant and animal cells?
\n5.\tHow are chloroplasts and mitochondria similar to one another?
\n6.\tExplain why it is harmful for cells to become too large.
\n7.\tWhat happens to a cell’s surface area and volume as a cell’s size increases?<\/p>\n

Bacteria and Viruses (Chapters 23 and 24)
\n1.\tWhat are the main differences between a prokaryote and eukaryote? (give examples)
\n2.\tWhat are the two main parts of a virus?
\n3.\tGive two characteristics of viruses.
\n4.\tGive two characteristics of bacteria.
\n5.\tDraw: a) a typical virus b) a typical bacteria cell<\/p>\n

Diffusion, Osmosis, and Cell Transport (Chapter 5)
\n1.\tDefine: (a) diffusion, (b) osmosis, (c) equilibrium, (d) concentration gradient
\n2.\tWhat is the difference between passive transport and active transport?
\n3.\tWhen would energy be required to bring something in or out of a cell?
\n4.\tWhat is the main reason that nutrients, waste, and molecules diffuse in and out of the cell?<\/p>\n

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration (Chapters 6 and 7)
\n1.\tWhat is photosynthesis? What is the equation for photosynthesis? Label the products and reactants.
\n2.\tWhat is cellular respiration? What is the equation for cellular respiration? Label the products and reactants.

\n6.\tWhat things are ESSENTIAL for plants to produce their own food?
\n7.\tWhat kind of energy is needed for photosynthesis to occur? What kind of energy is it transformed into?
\n8.\tDefine autotroph. Give an example(s).
\n9.\tWhat is needed for cellular respiration to occur?
\n10.\tWhat is anaerobic respiration and what are some of its products?<\/p>\n

Mitosis (Chapter 8)
\n1.\tDefine ALL of the following terms: mitosis, cytokinesis, centromere, chromatid, chromsome, G0, G1, S, G2, interphase, centrosome, cleavage furrow, cell plate, homologous chromosomes, autosome, sex chromosome.
\n2.\tGive the 4 phases of mitosis AND briefly describe what is happening during each phase.
\n3.\tDistinguish between cell division in plant cells and animal cells.<\/p>\n

\n6.\tCompare and contrast arteries and veins.
\n7.\tDescribe the pathway through which food travels in the digestive system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
