Identify the function of the four major macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids). 1B. Explain how enzymes function as catalysts. 1A. Explain the role of cell organelles for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, in maintaining homeostasis and cell reproduction. 3D. Compare and contrast viruses with living organisms. 1D. Explain the impact of water on life processes (i.e., osmosis, diffusion).

Using Mendel s laws, explain the role of meiosis in reproductive variability. 2D. Describe the relationships between changes in DNA and potential appearance of new traits including Alterations during replication. Insertions Deletions Substitutions Mutagenic factors that can alter DNA. High energy radiation (x-rays and ultraviolet) Chemical 2F. Examine the use of DNA technology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture.
