Chapter 1 Study Guide ===================== Chapter 1 Student Learning Objectives ------------------------------------- When preparing for this chapter, students should be able to: ------------------------------------------------------------ ### Chapter 1 Practice: ### [Learning Objective 1:] Compare and contrast a hypothesis with a theory using a biological example. ### *Complete MasteringBiology Chapter 1 Homework Practice Activities: * - ***The Scientific Method, Graphit!: An Introduction to Graphing*** - ***Experimental Inquiry: What Can You Learn About the Process of Science from Investigating a Cricket's Chirp?*** - ***Scientific Skills Exercise: Interpreting a Pair of Bar Graphs*** ### [Learning Objective 2]: Describe the levels of biological organization and organize them in terms of emergent properties and the hierarchy of biological organization. How can the idea of emergent properties be related to increasing or decreasing levels of biological organization? Can you name each of these levels in order of increasing complexity? How do they differ? ### [Learning Objective 3]: List the properties of life. ***Complete** MasteringBiology Chapter 1 Homework Practice Activities:** *** - ### *Get Ready for This Chapter: Chapter 1 Question 3* **List and memorize** the properties of life: ### [Learning Objective 4]: Relate structure and function in organisms using biological examples. Give two examples of how structure and function are correlated: ### [Learning Objective 5:] Compare and contrast the components and characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Table : Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | **Prokaryotic Cell** | **Eukaryotic Cell** | | | ==================== | =================== | +=======================+=======================+=======================+ | Has a Plasma Membrane | | | | ? | | | | --------------------- | | | | - | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Has DNA? | | | | -------- | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Has a nucleus? | | | | -------------- | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Has membranous organe | | | | lles? | | | | --------------------- | | | | ----- | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Has ribosomes? | | | | -------------- | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Size: How does each c | | | | ompare to the other? | | | | --------------------- | | | | -------------------- | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ ### ### [Learning Objective 6:] Describe the composition of DNA and the state the difference between DNA, chromosomes, and genes. Learn more with this [TUTORIAL](https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/dna) to learn more about DNA, chromosomes and genes. *Complete MasteringBiology Chapter 1 Homework Practice Activity: * - ***Campbell Figure Walkthrough: Gene Expression: Cells Use Information Encoded in a Gene to Synthesize a Functional Protein*** - ***Heritable Information: DNA*** ### [Learning Objective 7:] Compare and contrast energy flow and chemical cycling. What is a producer vs. a consumer? How does the path of energy differ from the path of chemical nutrients in an ecosystem? How does energy enter the ecosystem? How does energy exit the ecosystem? ### [Learning Objective 8:] Describe the difference between negative and positive feedback regulation. What is an example of negative feedback? What is an example of positive feedback? How can you determine if a process or pathway is regulated by negative or positive feedback? ### ### [Learning Objective 9:] List the levels of classification. ***Complete** MasteringBiology Chapter 1 Homework Practice Activities:** *** - ***Misconception Question 1*** **Know** the levels of classification defined by structure/functions. How can taxonomy reflect the idea of unity vs. diversity? What is a unifying characteristic of all organisms- what do all organisms have in common? Consider diversity- how can diverse organisms be classified? Is the genus level more inclusive or less inclusive compared to the class level? Is a phylum more or less broad in its description compared to an order? ### ### [Learning Objective 10:] Describe the idea of Natural Selection using a biological example. ***Complete** MasteringBiology Chapter 1 Homework Practice Activities:** *** - *Interpret the Data: Does Camouflage Affect Predation Rates on Two Populations of Mice?* What is described by the theory of natural selection? Do organisms adapt to the environment when facing challenges, or are characteristics most suited to the environment pass on to offspring due to the parents surviving and reproducing? How does the environment impact the success of populations of organisms? Check your understanding by going to MasteringBiology and clicking on the "Study Area" tab (left margin of tabs).
