Yea!!!!!Yea!!!!!

Steps in the Scientific Method…

• Observe~ always observing the world around us!!

• 1. ask questions • 2. form hypothesis• 3. experimentation• 4. analysis• 5. conclusion

Hypothesis?•If, then

statement (question)…

•An educated guess/ testable

What is the difference between a control group

and an experimental group?

• Control~ unmanipulated; used as a basis of comparison (sometimes called placebo group)

• Experimental~ a variable has been manipulated

Calculate total magnification of a microscope

• Ocular lens (10x) X objective= total magnification.

Compound microscope vs. simple vs. electron?

• Compound~ many lenses working together (magnification & clarity)

• Simple~ magnification only (specimens usually macroscopic)

• Electron~ e- beams, can see viruses and other extreme microscopic specimens.

KNOW PARTS OF THE MICROSCOPE

Who developed the simple microscope?

•Anton van Leeuenhoek

Amoeba proteus

Common amoeba

Know your fields of biology:

• ecology – Study of organism interactions with

each other and the environment• genetics

– Study of heredity• cytology

– Study of cells• biology

– Study of LIFE!!!!!!! (YOU BETTER NOT GET THIS ONE WRONG )

• taxonomy– Study of naming organisms

Know your basic biochemistry: (Define &

Give examples)

etc. complex amino acids• nucleic acids~ DNA/RNA• glucose/sucrose/fructose/lactose~

blood sugar, table sugar, fruit sugar, milk sugar

Know your basic biochemistry: (Define & Give examples)

• enzymes/ substrate / lock & key~ enzymes (catalyst to jumpstart a reaction)

3 COMPONENTS OF MODERN CELL THEORY?

• 1. cells are the basic unit of structure and function

• 2. all cells come from pre-existing cells

• 3. all organisms are made of 1 or more cells

Know your cellular organelles: What do they look like & what do they

do?• Nucleus~ cellular control center• Mitochondrion~ “powerhouse”

supplies energy• Nucleolus~ makes ribosomes• Ribosome~ makes proteins• lysosome~ garbage disposals;

destroyer • Cell membrane~ semipermeable

layer; allows homeostasis and transport (same stable internal conditions)

Know your cellular organelles: What do they look like & what do they

do?• Chloroplast~ has chlorophyll

allowing for photosynthesis to occur

• endoplasmic reticulum (rough & smooth~ intracellular highways

• Golgi apparatus~ postal office (packaging and secreting)

• Cell wall~ protects and supports plant cells

Define the following terms related to movement of

cellular materials: • Diffusion~ movement of molecules

from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration

• Osmosis~ movement of WATER from an area of high to low

• Active transport~ cell expends energy; against concentration gradient

• Hypotonic, hypertonic, isotonic solution~ lower, higher, equal

• Plasmolysis~ wilting

Define the following terms related to movement of cellular materials:

• Passive transport~ no energy input from cell

• Cytolysis~ cell bursting• Endocytosis~ movement into the

cell pinocytosis~ cell drinking, Phagocytosis~ cell eating

Difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic?

Which cell is in a hypertonic solution? isotonic?

hypotonic?

Define the concepts of cell division:

• Mitosis~ cloning; body cell reproduction• Meiosis~ forms gametes; genetic

recombination• Haploid, diploid~ n, 2n• Gamete~ sperm & egg• Zygote~ union of sperm & egg• Cell plate, cleavage furrow~ occurs during

cytokinesis • Autosomes~ body chromosomes/somatic

chromosomes (44)• Sex chromosomes: XX (girl)or XY (boy) (2)

Define the concepts of cell division:

• Bacterial reproduction~ binary fission; splitting into two

• Sperm production to egg production~

• 4 to 1 (spermatogenesis; oogenesis)

• Male and female symbols

Genetic Terms• Dominant~ overshadows a recessive• Recessive~ is expressed when no

dominant is present• Phenotype~ physical characteristics

(brown, red, etc)• Genotype~ genetic makeup

(represented by letters)• Homozygous~ both are the same

(TT or tt)• Heterozygous~ different genes (Tt)• sex-linked~ found on a sex

chromosome

separate during meiosis• Monosomy~ 45 total chromosomes (results

in 1 less)~ Turner Syndrome• Trisomy~ 47 total chromosome (results in 1

too many)~ Down Syndrome & Klienfelters)• Detection: Amniocentesis or chorionic villi

system• Hooke~ named the cell• Lamarck~ acquired traits; evolution• Mendel~ father of genetics• Van Leeuwenhoek~ father of

microscopy

Taxonomy and Evolution

• 7 levels?• KPCOFGs• Kingdoms?• AnimalAnimal• PlantPlant• FungiFungi• ProtistaProtista• EubacteriaEubacteria• ArchaebacteriaArchaebacteria

Describe these “taxonomy/evolution terms”:

• vestigial structures: no longer needed (appendix, tailbone)

• acquired traits: behavior causes evolution (giraffe stretching neck to reach leaves)

• binomial nomenclature: 2 name naming system (scientific name); Genus species

• Dichotomous key: recipe for classification• homologous/analogous structures (similar

origin but look different, different origin but look similar due to environment)

Bacteria and Viruses and Fungi

• Draw the three basic bacterial shapes: coccus, bacillus, spirillus

Bacterial Shapes:• Rod- bacillus• Sphere- coccus• Spiral- spirilli

• Staphylo- clusters• Strepto- chains/filaments

• What is the difference between archaebacteria and eubacteria?
