AIM: at the end of each week students should be
able to:
1. Describe the structure and the function of
chromosomes DNA and RNA
2. Describe and illustrate the process of protein
synthesis including a brief description of the
role of DNA, messenger RNA, transfer RNA,
and ribosome
3. Describe the process of transcription and
translation
4. Discuss how human beings can manipulate DNS
to produce modified organisms
5. Draw and recognize simple diagrams using
symbols to illustrate structure of each of the
following: carbohydrates, lipids and protein
6. State the role of carbohydrates, lipids and
proteins in the structure and function of cells
7. Test foods for the presence of protein, starch,
glucose and lipids
1. Describe how enzymes catalyze biological
reactions
2. Explain how enzymes catalyze biological
reactions
3. Explain how pH, temperature and
concentration affect the rates of enzyme
controlled reactions
1. Write a balance chemical equation for
photosynthesis
2. Explain how during the light phase in the
grana, photosynthesis of water occurs
producing hydrogen and oxygen and ATPs
synthesized
3. Explain how during the dark phase in the
stoma, carbon dioxide is fixed and glucose
produced
4. Recognize the grana and stoma of a
chloroplast in diagram or photograph

the processes of osmosis and diffusion, and
explain how selective exchange occurs at the
cell membrane
3. Define and identify and to compare the
process of active transport and passive
transport terms of energy requirements using
relevant examples.
1. Distinguish between mitosis and meiosis
2. Discuss the role of mitosis and meiosis in the
life cycle of an organism
3. Recognize the sequence of events in mitosis
and meiosis
4. Describe the role of crossing over,
recombination and independent assortment in
producing variation in species

autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition
2. Identify and describe the function of cuticle,
epidermis, palisade, mesophyll, spongy,
mesophyll, vascular bundle, stoma, guard cell
and air space
3. Explain the factors such as carbon dioxide,
light, intensity, water, temperature and
