9Lilley Biology Final Exam Review 2011
Review the details and importance of the following:
Macromolecules – carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids; structure, function, and importance
Cells – organelles; structure and function
Time to Divide – Cell Cycle (stages, regulation of); mitosis, cancer
How Cells Get Energy – Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis
DNA – structure, function, and importance
• DNA Replication (how does a cell copy all of its DNA/genes; why is this important?)
• Protein Synthesis (importance of proteins; how they are assembled; DNA à RNA à Protein; transcription and translation; what do proteins do?)
Genetics/Patterns of Inheritance: Meiosis; how are traits/genes combined and passed to offspring? dominant and recessive alleles; incomplete dominance; mono- and di-hybrid crosses); Natural Selection
Human Body Systems (overview and functions of major systems: nervous, skeletal, muscular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, circulatory, immune, reproductive.)
Quiz Schedule for Review:
Wednesday 6/1 – quiz on macromolecules, cells, and cell division
Thursday 6/2 – quiz on energy (cell respiration and photosynthesis), DNA (replication, protein synthesis)
Friday 6/3 – quiz on genetics and human body systems
Monday 6/6 -- Final Exam
Some other resources that you might find helpful:
- In addition to your own class notes, I've posted all of last year's SmartBoard class notes in a folder on the school network - it's in my StudentShare folder > Ninth Grade > Biology Class Notes
- If you would like to ask questions on biology content in the Comments section below, I'll answer them here, and then you can check in periodically to learn from other people's questions. Please read the Comments first to see if I've already answered your question. I'll check the blog each night.
