2. Classifying the Diversity of Life There are three domains of living things:

6. Cell Theory the cell is the smallest unit of life; all cells arise from pre-existing cells

8. Idealized Animal Cell

9. Idealized Plant Cell

23. Reproduction and Heredity

26. Some Terminology Same alleles = homozygous Different alleles = heterozygous Homologous Chromosome Pair Sister Chromatids

27. Dominant and Recessive In the heterozygous condition, one allele gets expressed and the other one doesn’t. The allele that is expressed is said to be dominant. The one that is not expressed is recessive.

28. Homozygous and Heterozygous Homozygous dominant = AA =dominant trait expressed Heterozygous = Aa = dominant trait expressed Homozygous recessive = aa = recessive trait expressed

29. Genotype and Phenotype Genotype is the set of alleles an individual has for a character. Phenotype is the trait that is expressed.

31. Brown eyes is dominant to blue in humans. A man with brown eyes (whose father had blue eyes) marries a woman with blue eyes. Predict the genotype and phenotype frequencies of their offspring.

32. Acquired vs Inherited Traits Inherited – passed via DNA in sperm/egg from parents; e.g. eye color Acquired – not inherited; e.g. a learned behavior; strengthening muscles; tattoo

34. Evolution When the monster came, Lola, like the peppered moth, remained motionless and undetected. Harold, of course was immediately devoured.

35. Morphological adaptation – physical features Physiological adaptation – chemical reactions Behavioral adaptation - behaviors

36. Genetic Variation Overproduction of Offspring Differential Reproduction Change in frequency of traits

37. Evolution accounts for both the unity (things in common) and diversity (lots of different types) of life

38. Organisms and Their Environment

39. Behavior Learned vs innate behaviors (instinct)

45. Energy flow and chemical cycling

47. Physical Science

48. Atomic Structure

63. Matter is anything made of atoms States: solid, liquid, gas Matter cannot be created or destroyed Chemical reaction: Bonds broken, atoms rearranged

66. Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions - the breaking and making of bonds; atoms are rearranged (not created, destroyed, or changed into different elements)

70. Work Work = force x distance Energy is the “capacity to do work”

75. Heat vs Temperature Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.

77. Convection – movement of warmed matter Conduction – transfer of energy from particle to particle Radiation – electromagnetic waves transport energy through space

79. velocity acceleration Acceleration requires force to be applied

80. Others Momentum = mass x velocity Work = force x distance Gravitation force = mass x gravity

81. Newton Newton 1 – body remains at rest or motion unless acted on by force Newton 2 – Force = mass x acceleration; objects with greater mass require more force to move them Newton 3 – every action is countered by an equal and opposite reaction

82. Simple machine changes the direction or magnitude of force

83. Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a medium. This flowing electric charge is typically carried by moving electrons in a conductor such as wire.

84. magnetic fields are produced by the motion of electrical charges

85. A circuit is an unbroken loop of conductive material that allows electrons to flow through continuously without beginning or end. If a circuit is "broken," that means its conductive elements no longer form a complete path, and continuous electron flow cannot occur in it.

88. Diff wavelength (frequency), different “color” – different amplitude, different intensity

89. Doppler effect – change in frequency of a wave for someone moving relative to the source of the wave – higher pitch as move toward, lower pitch as move away

92. Diff wavelength (frequency), different “color” – different amplitude, different intensity

93. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD STEP 1 Make observations. STEP 2 Formulate a hypothesis. STEP 3 Devise a testable prediction. STEP 4 Conduct a critical experiment. STEP 5 Draw conclusions and make revisions. The scientific method rarely proceeds in a straight line. Conclusions, for example, often lead to new observations and refined hypotheses. 

94. Controlled Experiment Control – compare groups with only one difference – the variable you are interested in testing (manipulating) – all other variables are held constant (controlled) Replication – multiple subjects in each test group

95. Analysis and Communication Statistics Date in graphs and tables Present results to colleagues and the public

96. Safety Goggles and other safety equipment Disposal and clean up of spills No eating or drinking in science lab Etc… Proper use and care of living organisms

97. Metric System Mass – gram Volume – liter Length – meter Milli – 1000 th Centi – 100 th Kilo - 1000

98. People Newton – laws of motion; gravity Mendel – genetics Pasteur – airborne disease Darwin – evolution Einstein – relativity Bernoulli – energy in fluids and air
