A few key points…in no
means all, you should
study!!!
Chapter 1: The Scientifc
Study of Life
 8 Characteristics of Living Things:
 Organization of living things
Darwin & Evolution
 Charles Darwin
 Struggle for Existence
 Survival of the Fittest
 Adaptations
 Natural Selection
Chapter 2: The Chemical
Basis of Life
 Types of Chemical Bonds:
 Ionic Bonds
 Covalent

Chapter 2: The Chemical
Basis of Life
 Properties of Water (remember polarity)
Quarter #2
Chapter 3: The Molecules
of Cells
 The Magic of Carbon
 4 valence electron – 4 bonds!
 Macromolecules
 Polymers vs. Monomers
 Compounds
 Isomers – two molecules that has the SAME
chemical formula, but DIFFERENT structures!
Chapter 3: The Molecules
of Cells
 4 Main Organic (Carbon) Compounds: DID

Chapter 4: A Tour of the
Cell
 Types of Cells
 Prokaryotes
 Eukaryotes – Plant & Animal Cells
Chapter 4: A Tour of the
Cell
 Plasma Membrane – know the structure and
function
Chapter 4: A Tour of the
Cell
 Cellular Transport
 Diffusion
 Osmosis
 hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic
 Active Transport
Chapter 4: A Tour of the
Cell
•In order to effectively transport nutrients to the
cell, the cell must have a LARGE surface area to
volume ratio
Chapter 4: A Tour of the
Cell

Chapter 9: Patterns of
Inheritance
 A Sex-Linked Punnett Square
 Hemophilia is a sex-linked, recessive trait. A non-carrier
female and a hemophiliac male want to have children…




What is the chance their child will have hemophilia?
What is the chance any of their children will be carriers?
What are the genotypes of the parents?
What are the genotypes for a hemophiliac male? female?
