Biology 111A - Principles of Experimental Biology
Vocabulary List - Exam #4 (Final Exam)
Lange
The following are terms that you should become comfortable with prior to the first examination.
While this list is substantial, it is not going to cover ALL terms or words that you should be
familiar with in this class. However, it should give you a reasonable idea of a majority of terms
you need to understand.
The following word list approximates the first location of these vocabulary words. However, you
will find them in general use throughout the text, and covers materials from chapters 20-55 (see
text).
