1: : The Chemical Basis of Life

1.1: : Appreciate the basic principles of chemistry which are involved in life processes.

1.1.2: : Realize the relationship between the electron structure of atoms and the type of bond which forms.

1.1.5: : Discuss a chemical reaction Ä the reactants, products and energy either required or produced.

1.2: : Investigate the properties of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

1.2.7: : Recognize the value of proteins by using examples from the human body.

1.3: : Describe the structure of nucleic acids.

1.3.1: : Describe the similarities and differences in the structure of DNA and RNA.

1.3.2: : Describe the processes of replication and transcription.

2: : Cell Structure and Function

2.1: : Describe the structures and functions of cell components.

2.1.4: : Describe the functions of the organelles found in eukaryotic cells.

2.2: : Explain how the processes of diffusion, active transport, photosynthesis, and respiration are accomplished in a cell.

2.2.2: : Examine the mechanisms of active transport by identifying and explaining the two processes. (Process one involves the expenditure of energy where a carrier molecule takes a substance from one side of a membrane to the other side of the membrane. Process two involves the inpocketing of material by a membrance -- pinocytosis and exocytosis.)

2.2.4: : Compare aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.

2.2.5: : Describe the processes involved in photosynthesis and then compare the process of photosynthesis with respiration.

2.2.6: : Examine how the structure of the leaf is adapted for the processes involved in photosynthesis.

2.2.7: : Identify how osmosis is related to diffusion and the value of osmosis to living organisms.

2.2.8: : Compare the similarities and differences between active and passive transport.

2.2.9: : Indicate the importance of the light and dark reactions in the process of photosynthesis.

3: : Genetics

3.1: : Explain the significance of Mendel's experiments and observations, and the laws derived from them.

3.1.3: : Describe Mendel's experiments and observations.

3.1.4: : Describe the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

3.1.5: : Use the concept of the gene to explain Mendel's laws.

3.2: : Discuss the relationships among chromosomes, genes, and DNA.

3.2.1: : Describe how the genetic code is carried on the DNA.

3.2.2: : Outline the process of replication.

3.2.4: : Describe the process of transcription.

3.2.5: : Describe the functions of mRNA, tRNA, amino acids, and ribosomes in protein synthesis.

3.2.6: : Describe the causes and effects of both chromosome and gene mutations.

3.4: : Discuss the application of population genetics to the study of evolution.

3.4.1: : Describe the concepts of the deme and the gene pool.

3.4.2: : Consider the Hardy-Weinberg principle.

4: : Animal Systems

4.1: : Describe how nutrients and oxygen are moved to the body cells.

4.1.1: : Review the principles of diffusion and active transport.

4.1.2: : Contrast passive transport systems, as in the cnidaria, with active transport systems, such as the human blood circulation system.

4.2: : Explain the functioning of the human circulation system.

4.2.1: : Describe the functions of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver in the circulation system.

4.2.5: : Discuss respiration by relating the activity to the physical structure like the lungs and blood and the cells fed by the blood.

5: : Evolution

5.1: : Explain how the evolutionary theory unifies biology.

5.1.1: : Describe how individual variations are produced.

5.1.2: : Discuss the action of natural selection on individuals, populations, and species.

5.2: : Recognize evidence of evolution.

5.2.2: : Examine data from comparative anatomy and comparative embryology.

5.2.6: : Examine the effects of migration and mutations on evolutionary change.

5.3: : Discuss how evolution proceeds.

5.3.4: : Identify both pre-mating and post-mating barriers to recombination and reproduction.
