Module A material
- Characteristics of life
- How organisms maintain homeostasis (sweating, peeing, osmosis/diffusion etc.)
- Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic cells
- All organelles and their functions
- Plant, Animal, protist, and fungi cells and their organelles
- Hierarchy of life (atom, biological molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism)
- Properties of water
- Macromolecules -(lipid, protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid) structure and function
- monomers vs polymers
- making monomers from polymers and vice versa
- Enzymes (activation energy, substrate, active site, denaturing forces)
- Photosynthesis
- Cellular Respiration
- How Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are related and how ATP plays a role)
- ATP--> ADP + P
- Types of transport (active and passive)-energy use, movement with or against concentration, items needed to help with processes
- ER, vesicles and Golgi and their role in exocytosis of protein
- Carrier proteins vs membrane pumps
- Cell Cycle
- Nuclear division vs. Cytokineses
- Mitosis vs Meiosis (number of cells, identical or different, 1N or 2N, 23 or 46 chromosomes)
- DNA structure
- DNA replication, transcription and translation
- Punnet Squares with complete dominance, codominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles (blood types), sex linked, polygenic
- crossing over
- nondisjunction (leading to trisomy-down syndrome)
- mutations-duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion, inversion, silent, nonsense, frameshift
- Biotechnology-selective breeding, gene splicing, cloning, GMO, gene therapy
- Natural selection and evolution
- Isolating mechanisms (geographic and reproductive), genetic drift founder effect
- How do mutations lead to genotypic and phenotypic variations
- Evidence for evolution (fossils, DNA, embryos, protein similarities, homologous structures
- Hardy-Weinberg stipulations for population to be in genetic equilibrium
- Hypothesis, inference, law, theory, fact vs. observation
- Trophic levels (energy amounts, biomass, biological magnification)
- food chains vs food webs
- biotic vs abiotic factors
- types of species interactions (symbiosis, competition, predation...)
- H2O, Carbon and O cycles
- Ecosystems and disturbances (succession, human impact, invasive species, keystone species)
