Chapter 1: Scientific Inquiry

Standards:
Process Standard 1: Observe and Measure
1. Identify qualitative and quantitative changes in cells, organisms, populations, and ecosystems given conditions (e.g.,
temperature, mass, volume, time, position, length, quantity) before, during, and after an event.
Process Standard 3: Experimental Design
1. Evaluate the design of a biology laboratory experiment.
2. Identify the independent variables, dependent variables, controlled variables, and control set-up in an experiment.
3. Identify a hypothesis for a given problem in biology investigations.
4. Recognize potential hazards and practice safety procedures in all biology activities.
Process Standard 4: Interpret and Communicate
1. Select appropriate predictions based on previously observed patterns of evidence.
2. Interpret data tables, line, bar, trend, and/or circle graphs from existing science research or student experiments.
Process Standard 5: Model
1. Interpret a biological model which explains a given set of observations.
2. Select predictions based on models (e.g., pedigrees, life cycles), and when appropriate, apply mathematical reasoning
to make accurate predictions.

Key Terms and Topics:

scientific method (pg. 17 and foldable), hypothesis, experiment, control, independent variable, dependent
variable, theory, quantitative data, qualitative data

Chapter 6: The Chemistry of Life

Standards:

Standard 5: Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems Living systems require a continuous input of
energy to maintain their chemical and physical organizations.
1. As matter and energy flow through different levels of organization of living systems and between living systems and
the physical environment, chemical elements are recombined in different ways by different structures. Matter and
energy are conserved in each change (i.e., water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, food webs, and energy
pyramids).
2. Matter on earth cycles among the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components of the biosphere.

Key Terms and Topics:

atom, element, compound, nucleus, covalent bond, molecule, ion, ionic bond, metabolism, mixture,
solution, pH, acid, base, polar molecule, hydrogen bond, diffusion, equilibrium, carbohydrate, lipid,
protein, amino acid, peptide bond, enzyme, nucleic acid, nucleotide (use Biomolecules foldable)

Chapter 7: Cells- Structure and Function

Standards:

Standard 1: The Cell Cells are the fundamental unit of life, composed of a variety of structures that perform
functions necessary to maintain life.
1. Cells are composed of a variety of structures such as the nucleus, cell/plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm,
ribosomes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
a. The cell/plasma membrane functions (i.e., active transport, passive transport, diffusion, osmosis, and
surface area to volume ratio) to maintain homeostasis.
b. Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
2. In multicellular organisms, cells have levels of organization (i.e., cells, tissues, organs, organ systems,
organisms).
3. Specialized cells enable organisms to monitor what is going on in the world around them (e.g., detect light, sound,
specific chemicals, gravity, plant tropism, sense organs, homeostasis).

Key Terms:
cell, cell theory, surface area-to-volume ratio (pg. 202), structure and function of each cell organelle
(Section 7.3, Cell Coloring, and Cell Parts Foldable), prokaryote vs. eukaryote, plant cell vs. animal cell,
organelle, selective permeability, phospholipid layer, fluid mosaic model

Chapter 8.1: Cellular Transport

Standards:
Standard 1: The Cell Cells are the fundamental unit of life, composed of a variety of structures that perform
functions necessary to maintain life.
1. Cells are composed of a variety of structures such as the nucleus, cell/plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm,
ribosomes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
a. The cell/plasma membrane functions (i.e., active transport, passive transport, diffusion, osmosis, and
surface area to volume ratio) to maintain homeostasis.
b. Differentiate among hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic conditions.

Key Terms:
passive transport vs. active transport (know examples of each type), diffusion, facilitated diffusion (SEE
Table 8.1), equilibrium, osmosis: hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic (USE FOLDABLE and Pg. 197),
endocytosis, exocytosis, cell membrane components

Standards:

Standard 1: The Cell Cells are the fundamental unit of life, composed of a variety of structures that perform
functions necessary to maintain life.
1. Cells are composed of a variety of structures such as the nucleus, cell/plasma membrane, cell wall,
cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
a. The cell/plasma membrane functions (i.e., active transport, passive transport, diffusion, osmosis,
and surface area to volume ratio) to maintain homeostasis.
b. Differentiate among hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic conditions.
c. Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

3. Specialized cells enable organisms to monitor what is going on in the world around them (e.g., detect light, sound,
specific chemicals, gravity, plant tropism, sense organs, homeostasis).

Standard 5: Matter, Energy, and Organization in Living Systems Living systems require a continuous input of
energy to maintain their chemical and physical organizations.
1. The complexity and organization of organisms accommodates the need for obtaining, transforming, transporting,
releasing, and eliminating the matter and energy used to sustain the organism (i.e., photosynthesis and cellular
respiration).
2. As matter and energy flow through different levels of organization of living systems and between living
systems and the physical environment, chemical elements are recombined in different ways by different structures.
3. Matter and energy are conserved in each change (i.e., water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, food webs, and
