Exam Format

~60 marks

A variety of question formats with an emphasis on short
answer

You will be making a cheat sheet over the next few classes in
preparation for this
+
What is covered…

3 units – life sciences, chemistry, and electricity

Today – life science/reproduction review

Friday – chemistry review

Monday – Electricity review
+
Life Sciences – Reproduction… the
learning outcomes

B1 explain the process of cell division

B2 relate the processes of cell division and emerging
reproductive technologies to embryonic development

B3 compare sexual and asexual reproduction in terms of
advantages and disadvantages
+

B1 explain the process of cell division

What is the role of cell division, why is it important?

What are the important structures in the cell associated with
cell division?

Where is the “information” that makes organisms unique
stored? What is that molecule like?

What processes occur in somatic cells vs gametes?
+

B2 relate the processes of cell division and emerging
reproductive technologies to embryonic development

We briefly looked at reproductive technologies, you should
understand what a GMO is, selective breeding, artificial
insemination, in vitro fertilization
+

B3 compare sexual and asexual reproduction in terms of
advantages and disadvantages

Be familiar with different types of asexual reproduction
including fragmentation, binary fission, vegetative reproduction,
spore formation, and budding

What are advantages and disadvantages of asexual
reproduction?

Be familiar with different variations of sexual reproduction, and
unique adaptations including hermaphrodites, conjugation,
external fertilization, internal fertilization as well as differences
between marsupials, monotremes, and placental mammals.

What are advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction.
+
What should I be using to prepare?

Notes, old assignments

Textbook references – Chapters 2 and 3

Pages of specific value for studying are 68,69,102,103
+
Chemistry – Learning Outcomes
and what you should know

C1 - use modern atomic theory to describe the structure and
components of atoms and molecules

Distinguish between atoms and molecules

Identify the three subatomic particles, their properties, and
location within the atom


C2 – use the periodic table to compare the characteristics
and atomic structure of elements

Distinguish between metals, non-metals, and metalloids

metals, multivalent metals and non metals, polyatomic ions)

Name ionic compounds, given their chemical formula
+

C4 – Describe changes in the properties of matter

Identify physical properties of matter, including mass, volume,
density, state at room temperature, colour, melting/boiling point,
and conductivity

Differentiate between physical and chemical change using
observable evidence

Name the changes of state of matter and describe how the kinetic
molecular theory explains those changes
+
Where to look to prepare
