**Grade 10 Study Guide/Topic List for Exam** **Biology Chapter 1** 1. State the three postulates of the Cell Theory 2. Distinguish between plant and animal cells 3. Identify and name the organelles of an animal and plant cell 4. Explain the function of organelles i.e. cellular respiration in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts 5. Compare and contrast the structure and function of an animal and plant cell 6. Know how to safely handle and use microscopes 7. Describe the cell cycle (p40-41) emphasize that DNA is organized into chromosomes 8. Define and describe the cell cycle checkpoints 9. Treatments for cancer 1. Define the levels of organization/hierarchy in an animal body (Organ system, organs, tissues, cells) 2. Factors that influence cell specialization/differentiation 3. Explain that a stem cell has the potential to become any type of cell and differentiate between the different types of stem cells 4. Explain the functions of the 11 organ systems 1. List the organs of the plant (leaf, stem, roots, flower) and explain the function of each organ 2. Types of plant tissues and the cells that make up each tissue 3. Label a diagram of a leaf and explain the function of the structures of the leaf 4. How atmospheric humidity levels affect transpiration **Chemistry Chapter 4** 1. Define and identify valence electrons, cations and anions 2. Identify metals & non-metals in the Periodic Table 3. Be able to write the names and symbols for the elements taught in the course. 4. Define ionic and covalent bonding 5. Write the name and formula for diatomic molecules, binary ionic compounds (pg 153), ionic compounds with polyatomic ions and binary molecular (covalent) compounds (using the prefixes) 6. Be able to write chemical equations (Word, Skeleton, and Balanced Chemical) **Chapter 5** 1. Be able to identify the different types of reactions (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, neutralization and combustion) 2. Identify and state evidence of chemical change/chemical reaction **Chapter 6** 1. Know the properties of acids and bases (Table 6.6 --p.234) 2. Be able to write formulas for Binary Acids, Oxoacids and Bases 3. Describe the pH scale and recognise and apply the log nature of it. 4. Be able to identify and write balanced chemical equations of neutralization reactions **Chapter 10 Optics** 1. Recognize that light travels in straight lines and that objects reflect light in order to be visible 2. Name several applications for concave mirrors. Pg 429 and several applications of convex mirrors pg 436-437 3. Types of light & examples of each 4. Characteristics of images in plane mirrors 5. The meaning of a virtual image **Chapter 11** 1. Define refraction of light and that it is caused by a change in speed as it enters a new medium p449-450 2. Label a diagram of refraction (use the diagram on page 458 which has partial reflection on it) 3. Recognize that the index of refraction indicates how light will behave when it enters a material p454 4. Recognize when light bends toward or away from the normal 5. Describe partial reflection and refraction pg 458 6. At small angles of incidence, more light refracts than reflects and at large angles of incidence more light reflects than refracts. 7. Solve problems using n=c/v pg 452 8. Describe total internal reflection and critical angle pg 462 9. Explain that light will totally internally reflect only when it travels from more dense to less dense. Pg 458 10. Describe applications of total internal reflection pg 464-466 **Chapter 12 (Check with your teacher as some of these may not be completed by the end of the course)** 1. Identify converging/convex lenses and diverging/concave lenses. Pg 488 2. Sketch the path of light through a convex and concave lens. Pg 490 3. Describe the image characteristics for both types of lenses. 4. Recognize that concave lenses produce only virtual images and convex lenses produce both real and virtual. 5. Recognize that convex lenses produce virtual, upright, larger images when the object is closer to the lens than the focal length and real, inverted images when the object is beyond the focal length. Pg 496 6. Draw and label the parts of a ray diagram for a convex and concave lens pg 496-497 7. Name the 3 locator rays: parallel, centre and focal rays pg 495 8. Describe the path of the 3 locator rays when they pass through a convex lens. 9. Use the locator rays to locate an image and describe it. Pg 495-496 10. Name the 3 locator rays. 11.

Pg 498-499 14. Describe the image characteristics based on numerical calculations. Note: We are only using the formulae for converging/convex lenses.
