Cell Respiration & Photosynthesis BIO STUDY GUIDE (Ch. 9.1-9.5‚ 10.1-10.3) I) CELLULAR RESPIRATION A) Catabolic Pathways A.1) Fermentation: partial degradation of sugar that occurs w/o oxygen A.2) Cellular Respiration: oxygen is used A.3) Redox Reactions (Oxidation-Reduction that exchanges electrons) Oxidation: loss of electrons (energy must be added) Reduction: addition of electrons. (-) charged electrons added to atom reduce amount of (+) charge of that atom A.4) Stepwise Energy Harvest

Aneka Khilnani September 8. 2012 Period 3 AP Biology Free Response Essay: Cell Size Life is defined as a distinctive characteristic that a living organism‚ dead organism or non-living thing‚ and it has the ability to grow‚ metabolize‚ respond to stimuli‚ adapt and reproduce. Cells are not smaller that 0.1 um because within the cell all the necessary components have to take place‚ cellular metabolism‚ reproduction‚ photosynthesis and there has to be a sufficient amount of space for that to

Chapter 1: Biology- The study of life A Hierarchy of Organization 1. Molecules 2. Organelle 3. Cell 4. Tissue 5. Organ 6. Organism Emergent Properties- Novel properties that emerge as each step up the hierarchy of biological order is taken. Reductionism- Reducing complex systems to simpler components that are more manageable to study. Cells- The lowest level of structure capable of performing all the activities of life‚ all organisms are composed of cells which are the basic units of structure

I looked to my left then to my right‚ it was dark all around‚ except for the light emanating from the flashlight mounted on my gun. I cradled my assault rifle‚ it was my lifeline‚ if it was gone‚ I was dead‚ or worse... Alive. I heard a shriek‚ not from a human‚ but from a zombie...... I looked down the alleyway ahead it was fully dark now‚ I heard running footsteps behind me. I turned around as fast as I could. A blood covered zombie was running toward me‚ I was scared for my life. I chopped the

Robert Brown is credited with the discovery of the cell nucleus. 4. Schleiden and Schwann’s contribution to biology was proposing that cells are the basic structural unit for plants and animals. 5. Before Virchow‚ one idea was that living things could arise from non-living and from dead matter‚ a process called ‘spontaneous generation’. 6. Person B is more

Lab: Inhibiting the Action of Catechol Oxidase By: Kimberly G. Introduction: In this lab‚ Mr. Greene ’s sixth period AP Biology class split into groups "to investigate inhibition of enzyme activity by specific chemicals called inhibitors" (1). Group three pondered this lab ’s inhibitor‚ phenylthiourea (PTU). Is it a competitive inhibitor? That is an inhibitor that literally "competes" with the substrate by mimicking it‚ and thus "wins" the position at the active site of the enzyme. The blocked

Human Geography Chapter 2 Outline Where in the world do people live and why? * When geographers study population‚ we explain population traits across space. * Demography is the study of population * The US has an average of 81 people per square mile * This is misleading because the amount of population isn’t constant across an entire country (Nebraska vs. NYC) * 98% of Egypt’s population lives in 3% of the land Physiologic Population Density * A countries physiologic

Apartheid An official policy of racial segregation‚ involving political‚ legal‚ and economic discrimination against nonwhites. Ex: South Africa Balkanization To divide (a country‚ territory‚ etc.) into small‚ quarrelsome‚ ineffectual states. Ex: Sudan Barrioization Defined by geographer James Curtis as the dramatic increase in Hispanic population in a given neighborhood Ex: Large Cuban immigration to Miami Dowry Property or money brought by a bride to her husband on their marriage

Catch 22 Joseph Heller satirizes‚ among other matters‚ red tape and bureaucracy in his first novel‚ Catch-22. The novel concerns itself with a World War II bombardier named Yossarian who suddenly realizes the danger of his position and tries various means to extricate himself from further missions. Yossarian is driven crazy by the Germans‚ who keep shooting at him when he drops bombs on them‚ and by his American superiors‚ who seem less concerned about winning the war than Catch 22: Satire on WWII
