Semester Exam Honors Bio Outline
1) Scientific method
2) Measuring under the microscope
3) Darwin and natural selection
4) Macromolecules (hint study lipids and proteins as well)
5) Atomic structure and bonding (don’t forget about h- bonding)
6) DNA to RNA to protein (how genetic info is passed)
7) Ph and enzymes (how can you denature them?)
8) Flow of energy and energy conversion + heat + entropy+ 10% rule (ATP)
9) Tropic levels and food web and food chains
10) Chemical cycling of H2O carbon and nitrogen
11) Earths early (ozone O3) composition. ( how did it change overtime)
12) Cyanobacteria and stromatolites
13) Heterotrophic hypothesis all the way to eukaryotic cells
14) Characteristics of living organisms
15) Cellular structure and their functions (prokaryotic and eukaryotic)
16) Single cellular-> colonial-> multi cellular cells
17) Classification and taxonomy
18) The ways in which we classify ie. (aac sequences, DNA hybridizations)
19) Photosynthesis ( look at some limiting factors)
20) Cellular respiration
This is about 90% of the exam, there are some other questions from last year that we haven’t covered yet.
Here is a very helpful powerpoint on C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis in courtesy of P.J. Larson

Does anyone know the exact format of the lab that is due tomorrow? I know we have to include analysis adn purpose, but do we need to include any observations?
