Study Notes
Biology 101 Final Study Guide
-
Life Classification and Basic Chemistry: Understand the characteristics of life; know atomic weight, atomic number, structure; understand chemical concepts (pH, acids, bases, water properties).
-
Organic Molecules: Understand carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Define ATP structure and function.
-
Cellular Metabolism: Define and differentiate diffusion, osmosis, active and facilitated transport. Describe the impact of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions on plant and animal cells.
-
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: Understand photosynthesis processes, location within the cell, and products of the process. Understand aerobic respiration processes, locations within the cell, end products, and effects of oxygen limitation.
-
Cell Division: Define and differentiate between mitosis and meiosis. Understand the purpose and end result of each process. Know the stages of cell division.
-
Genetics: Define important genetic terms: haploid, diploid, dominant, recessive, heterozygous, homozygous, allele, genotype, phenotype. Understand genetics problems (single-trait crosses, two-trait crosses, incomplete dominance, sex-linked traits, blood typing). Recognize chromosomal abnormalities (Trisomy, autosomal recessive/dominant disorders, sex chromosome disorders).
-
DNA and RNA: Understand the structure of DNA and RNA, the nucleotides, complementary base pairing, and semiconservative replication. Define transcription and translation.
-
Transgenic Organisms: Understand what plasmids are and how they are used to develop transgenic organisms.
-
Evolution: Be familiar with evolutionary concepts like natural selection, adaptation, genetic drift, gene flow, directional selection, founder effect, bottleneck effect. Understand the Hardy-Weinberg law and conditions.
-
Population Ecology: Understand population definitions, such as carrying capacity, birth rate, growth rate, exponential growth, biotic potential, and the difference between normal and exponential growth curves (S-curves versus J-curves).
-
Ecology Concepts: Define ecology terms like autotrophs, heterotrophs, producers, consumers, density-dependent and independent factors, and energy flow through ecosystems. Understand pyramids of energy and biomass, biological magnification, and ecological succession.
-
Biomes: Understand the basic characteristics of terrestrial and aquatic biomes.
