1 THIS IS A 50 POINT TEST GRADE AND IS DUE THE DAY WE GET BACK FROM BREAK! Unit 1- Intro to AP and Taxonomy 1. The Galapagos Islands were extremely important to Darwin and the Theory of Evolution. Darwin discovered many organisms and scientific ideas that were instrumental to the future of science. Explain in detail what Darwin discovered upon his visit. In your answer you should include topics such as descent with modification, natural selection, the importance of the fossil record, heredity, comparative anatomy, gene sequencing, and speciation. 2. What did Thomas Malthus state? 3. What is the difference between analogous and homologous structures? 4. What is compartmentalization and why is it important? 5. Explain the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Write the equation for each. 6. List and describe the eight characteristics of living things. 7. Homeostasis is the body s ability to maintain an internal balance. Explain the role of negative and positive feedback loops in relation to homeostatic levels. Make sure to provide examples. 8. List the three Domains and note whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic. 9. The classification of living things can be difficult. List the order of classification from the most broad to the most specific. 10. What are the four Kingdoms that make up the Domain Eukarya? Briefly describe each one. 11. Living systems show a hierarchy of organization. Write the correct order starting with atoms and ending with the biosphere. 12. List the steps of the scientific method. 13. Define taxonomy, population, natural selection, descent with modification, adaptive radiation, inductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning. 14. How does scientific theory differ from scientific hypothesis? 15. What are the different types of microscopes and describe each one in detail. 16. Be able to label the microscope.

2 Chi Square Review 2 2 ( o e) 1. Formulas: Chi Square o = observed individuals with observed genotype e e = expected individuals with observed genotype Degrees of freedom equals the number of distinct possible outcomes minus one Degrees of Freedom p Example problem: Wisconsin Fast Plants have two very distinctive visible traits (stems and leaves). Each plant will either have a purple (P) or green (p) stem and also have either have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. Suppose that we cross a dihybrid heterozygous plant with another plant that is homozygous purple stem and heterozygous for the leaf trait. Make a Punnett square to figure out the expected ratios for the phenotypes of the offspring. Surface Area to Volume Ratio 1) Cells throughout the world have variable shapes and sizes. Because of this, and because structure is designed around function, certain shapes are optimal for certain processes. Analyze the following cells (units not to scale), and determine the following Cell 1 (spherical) where the radius is 3 mm

3 Cell 2 (flat and rectangular) where the height is 0.5mm, length is 4mm, width is 2mm a. What is the surface area to volume ratio of both cells? How to calculate Surface Area? Cell 1 Surface area How to calculate Volume? Volume Surface area to Volume Ratio Cell 2 b. Conclusion: Compare the ratios and explain why one cell would be more efficient than another. c. Are you made of lots of large cells or lots of small cells? Why? How do you actually grow in height?
