Pre-AP Biology Study Guide
Unit 8: Plants, Animals & Human Biology
The final unit in pre-ap biology will acquaint students with the basics of plant, animal and human biology.
Textbook Reference:
Pearson, Essential Biology with Physiology; Chapter 16 (320-333) Ch. 17 (343-366), Ch. 21-27
There are NO outlines or chapter notes required for this unit. Instead there are reading guides for plants and animals.
This unit has two collection projects. Students are required to do one, though they may elect to do both to earn an extra
project grade to help raise overall grades. Each collection project is equal to the point equivalent of one unit exam.
