Below is a list of topics that you will be tested on and the related note sheets to help you study. This test is worth 100 points and is an assessment of everything we've learned in science class this year (not including cell theory, cell scientists, and cell parts/functions).
- Science Safety Rules
- Science Equipment Notes #1 and Notes #2
- Rules for Sketching a Biological Diagram
- The Origin of Earth and Life
- The Characteristics of Life & Necessities of Life
- See also: The Necessities of Life textbook chapter
- Taxonomy and the Domains of Life
- See also: the last few pages of Lab #3: Domains of Life & Food Webs/Food Chains reference sheets
- Microscopes Notes #1 and Notes #2
- Basic Types of Cells (see pages 64-66 of this reading) *You will not be tested on the most recent Cell Notes, but you will need to know what a cell is, the basic types of cells, eukaryotic vs prokaryotic)*
- CELL - in biology, the smallest unit that can perform all life processes; cells are covered by a membrane and have DNA and cytoplasm
- NUCLEUS - in a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction
- PROKARYOTE - an organism that consists of a single cell that does not have a nucleus
- EUKARYOTE - an organism made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed by a membrane; eukaryotes include animals, plants, and fungi, but not archaea or bacteria
