Vocabulary (esp. microevolution and macroevolution,
speciation, adaptive radiation, exponential growth,
selective pressures.)

Scientists: Lamarck, Darwin-Wallace, Urey-Miller,
Malthus/Cuvier/Lyell

Half-life, radiometric dating

Early Earth, First cells

Natural and Artificial selection

Evidence
 Fossil Record
 Biogeography
 Anatomical
o Homologous (divergent evol.)
o Analogous (convergent evol.)
o Vestigial structures
 Embryological
 Molecular
 Evo-Devo

Mechanisms of Microevolution with examples
 natural selection
 gene flow
 genetic drift
 mutation

Barriers to reproduction

Mechanisms of Macroevolution with examples
 mass extinction
 adaptive radiation
 plate tectonics
 Parts of the flower
 Seed dispersal strategies
 Pollination strategies
Invertebrates/Vertebrates
 Characteristics:
 unique to… (tube feet are unique to echinoderms)
 novel feature appears with…(Collagen first appeared
with sponges which are basal to all other animals, or
True coelom first appeared in Annelids)
 examples
 Phylogenetic Tree/Ancestor of animals
ECOLOGY Chps. 34-38
 Biomes:
 terrestrial
 aquatic
 biotic & abiotic factors affecting living things
 adaptations to biotic and abiotic factors.
 Behavior:
 foraging
 agonistic
 courtship.
 Populations:
 dispersion patterns
 life tables
 growth curves
 regulation of growth
 analyzing age-structure diagrams
 human population growth
 Communities:
 interspecific interactions (competition for example)
 trophic levels
 succession
 invasive species.
 Ecosystems:
 “matter cycles, energy flows”
 energy pyramid
 carbon cycle.
 Conservation:
 threats to biodiversity
 pollution & biological magnification
 restoration ecology
 sustainable development
CLASSIFICATION OF LIFE Ch.15:15, Chps. 16-19.

Linnaeus – binomial nomenclature & levels of
classification (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
genus, species)

Taxonomy (incl. Genus species or Genus species)

Six kingdoms – characteristics
Bacteria, Archaea, (Viruses), Protists
 Use PowerPoint reviews:
 Kingdom Review and Bacteria Review
Plants, Fungus, Lichens
 Characteristics
 Phylogenetic Tree/Ancestor of plants
 Adaptations to land
 Nonvascular vs. vascular (xylem, phloem)
 Spores vs. seeds
 Angiosperm vs. Gymnosperm
