Honors Biology
Study Guide for Bioenergetics Benchmark Exam
1. General Information
The exam is Wednesday February 19th, 2014. Bring your iPad charged and ready (exam is
online). Notebook Check 2 should be ready to turn in before the exam.
2. Chemical Reactions
＿ Reactants
＿ Products
＿ Law of Conservation of Mass
3. Photosynthesis
＿ Main purpose
＿ Equation
＿ Reactants
＿ Products
＿ Where does it occur
＿ What organisms do this
＿ When does this occur
4. Factors that affect the process of Photosynthesis
＿ Temperature
＿ CO2
＿ Light
＿ Water
4. Cellular Respiration
＿ Main purpose
＿ Equation
＿ Reactants
＿ Products
＿ Where does it occur
＿ What organisms do this
＿ When does this occur
5. Factors that affect the process of Cellular Respiration
＿ Temperature
＿ Oxygen
＿ Sugar (glucose, organic compound)
6. Chloroplast vs. Mitochondria
＿ Similarities
＿ Differences
7. Photosynthesis and Respiration
＿ Together they create a cycle (carbon cycle)
＿ Mainly cycle two elements: carbon and oxygen
＿ Reactants of one are the products of the other
＿ The products of one are the reactants of the other
8. Enzymes
＿ Catalysts
＿ Proteins
＿ How temperature affects productivity
9. Food Chains
＿ Energy transfer between organisms
＿ Arrows are pointed in the direction of energy flow
＿ Energy is lost as food chain increases trophic levels
＿ Producers (autotrophs) have the most energy and are the most numerous
＿ Producers  Primary Consumers  Secondary Consumers…
＿ Food webs are many interconnected food chains
10. Performance Event
＿ Identify the IV and DV
＿ Select an appropriate Testable Question & Hypothesis
＿ Identify Constants
＿ Select which graph best represents the data
＿ Make a claim based on data
