Bio Final

1) Be able to interpret data sets and graphs (you have done it all semester).

2) Know what a carrying capacity is and how to find it.

3) Be able to identify biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.

4) Know that the ultimate source of energy is the sun. But the source of energy for cells is ATP.

5) Know how to create a food chain and a food web given what organisms eat and what eats them.

6) Know the trophic levels and what types of organisms you find in each/ 

7) Know what direct and indirect impact is.

8) Be able to site evidence from graphs and data sets.

9) Quantitative data is numbers, qualitative is descriptive.

10) Be able to support or refute a claim.

11) Recall what you learned about respiration (breathing) and the gas exchanges. How is the

bloodstream is important in this. 

12) Know the equations for cellular respiration and photosynthesis and what organelles they occur

in as well as which types of organisms do each process.

13) Understand trophic cascades.

14) Recall how organisms at each level influence organisms at other levels.

15) Define homeostasis and understand how it is maintained in an ecosystem.

16) Know the nitrogen cycle and how plants obtain nitrogen.

17) Know how animals in turn obtain nitrogen.

18) What are the 4 macromolecules of life?

19) What elements make up each of the macromolecules of life?

20) Think about the difference between what herbivores eat vs. carnivores.

21) What is digestion?

22) Make sure you know how to draw the arrows on a food web and what they represent.

23) Know the 10% rule, but that is not enough because you must know how to calculate the actual

transfer of energy. New trophic level/original trophic level.

24) Recalling Life as a Hunter’, you need to be able to calculate the most efficient way for organisms

to hunt. You need to be able to use evidence.

25) Remember that we also learned how the otter’s hunt.

26) Know the building blocks of the macromolecules.

27) How is food delivered to each cell in the body?

28) Recall looking at DNA (A, T, C, G) and how we can use that data to tell the relatedness of organisms.

29) Recall, we also looked at geography as a component of determining relatedness and how

organisms interbreed.

30) Remember how to look at a phylogenetic tree and how to create one from data.

31) Be able to calculate the percentage of a population with a specific trait if you know the number

with that trait and the total population size.

32) Know phenotype and genotype.

33) Be able to identify trends over time.

34) Be able to make a claim and support or refute it.

35) Be able to use evidence and reasoning to support a claim.
