1 AP Biology Summer Assignment Students must complete this assignment by the first week of school. The first exam, which will be the first week of school, will cover the information in this packet. You may use the textbook to complete the assignment along with other reliable web resources. Be sure to explain concepts in your own words. The assignment may be typed or handwritten and must be YOUR own work. Copying of another student s paper will not be permitted and will not be accepted! The assignment is on my website, which can be accessed using the NHS High School homepage Completion of this summer assignment allows us to cover more of the material covered on the AP Biology exam. The assignment covers the 4 Big Ideas of the course I hope you look forward to a fun and challenging year in AP Biology! Big Idea 1: The diversity and unity of life can be explained by the process of evolution. Big Idea 2: Biological systems use energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain homeostasis (regulation). Big Idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information critical to life processes. Big Idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these interactions possess complex properties. Your Task~ Using your AP Biology textbook and other resources, answer the following essential questions on the big ideas of the course. Be sure to provide specific examples when applicable. Most of the questions are a review from your previous Biology course Kindly, Ms. Christine Procaccino AP Biology Teacher cprocaccino@nhsd.org Student Name: Grade for the 2017/2018 school year (circle one): Sophomore Junior Senior
2 Scientific Skills Review It is very important in AP Biology to understand and apply scientific skills including identification of variables (IV and DV), graphing, analyzing, and interpreting data. Read the 2 experiments below and answer the accompanying questions.. Experiment 1: How Does Temperature Affect Respiration Rates of Fish? Introduction: Golf fish are ectoderms. An ectothermic is an animal that cannot regulate its own body temperature internally, so its body temperature fluctuates according to its environment. Ectothermic animals, or ectotherms, are commonly referred to as "cold-blooded." Examples of ectotherms include: reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Endothermic animals are those that must generate their own heat to maintain their body temperature. These animals are commonly referred to as "warm-blooded." An animal that is endothermic is categorized as an endotherm, and this includes all mammals. Procedure: Data: 1. The goldfish will start at room temperature. Check the temperature and record the number of breaths the fish takes at room temperature for 30 seconds. 2. Use an empty bowl and add cold, icy water. Place the fish beaker in the ice bath. 3. Place a thermometer in the fish's beaker and watch as the temperature slowly changes. When it reaches each of the ranges in the data table, determine how many breaths the fish takes. 4. Replace ice bath with warm water bath to raise temperature. Temperature & Respiration Rate of Fish Analysis Questions 1. Identify the independent and the dependent variable in the experiment. Look at the axis on the graph, which axis indicates the IV, which axis indicates the DV? 2. Formulate a hypothesis for the experiment. 3. Identify 3 constants/control variables that would be used in the experiment. 4. Identify a possible source of error in the experiment. 5. Based on the data table, describe the relationship between a fish's respiration rate and temperature.
3 6. Calculate the rate of change 7. Suppose this experiment was repeated using an endothermic (warm-blooded) animal as a test subject. Propose how the data may be different. Indicate on the graph above which line would represent the endothermic animal and which line would represent the ectothermic animal. Explain how you know this. Graphing Graphing is an important way to display data that is collected during a controlled experiment. Line graphs must be constructed correctly to accurately portray the data collected. A graph contains these major parts: Title Independent variable Dependent variable Scales (plots) Legend 8. Using the following data, construct a line graph Depth (m) # of bubbles/ minute in Plant A # of bubbles/ minute in Plant B
4 Experiment 2: Bacteria Growth on Door Handles Introduction: In an experiment, students wanted to measure the number of bacterial colonies on the door handles of Ms Procaccino s classroom. Students swabbed the handles, put the samples in petri dishes with a growth medium, and incubated the samples for 8 hours. During the course of 8 hours, students counted the number of bacteria colonies every hour and created the data table below. Bacteria Growth Analysis Questions 9. What is the independent variable in the experiment? What is the dependent variable? 10. Calculate the rate of change within the first 2 hours. 11. Describe the type of growth (logistic or exponential) during the first 2 hours. 12. Calculate the rate of change from hour 5 to hour Describe the type of growth (logistic or exponential) during hour 5 to hour 8.
