-
Lab Equipment Identification: Use the letters provided to identify lab equipment. Example: Beaker (A), Flask (B), etc.
-
Safety Procedures: Always know the location and use of safety equipment (safety shower, eyewash, fire extinguisher).
-
Sharp Instruments: Direct sharp instruments away from yourself and others.
-
Lab Injuries: If injured, apply pressure to the cut immediately and get medical attention, whether the cut is severe or not. Report all accidents, breakages, and procedural errors to a teacher immediately.
-
Waste Disposal: Dispose of used matches in a water-filled container.
Unit 2: The Science and Chemistry of Life
-
Relative Acidity: A pH 2 solution is 100 times more acidic than a pH 0 solution.
-
Biological Hierarchy: List the following in increasing order: molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.
-
Properties of Life: All organisms reproduce, maintain constant internal temperature, and respond to stimuli.
-
Control Groups: In experiments, control groups provide a baseline for comparison with the experimental group..
-
Common Biological Elements: The four most common elements in living organisms are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
-

-
**Respiration:**Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
-
Fermentation: A metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen (example: lactic acid fermentation).
Unit 8 and 9: Cell Reproduction and Modern Genetics
-
Cell division: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different cells.
-
Mitosis Process: Includes interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
-

-
Genetics: Use Punnett squares for predicting genetic outcomes, and determining genotypes and phenotypes.
-
Cell Cycle: Most of a eukaryotic cell's time is spent in interphase.
-
Characteristics: Observable characteristics of a trait/organism (e.g.: observable physical features such as height or eye colour) are called the phenotype. Their genetic makeup, or the combination of alleles an organism possesses, is called the genotype.
-
Modern Genetics Concepts: Discuss terms and concepts in modern genetics.
