AP Biology Review Notebook

AP Biology Review Notebook

Set up a spiral notebook for your end of course AP Biology review using the following guidelines:

  • Write your name, year, and course on the front of your notebook
  • Tab the first page of EACH unit with the number of that unit
  • On the tabbed sheets in your notebook, write TITLE of the unit
  • Starting on the next sheet of paper, write the SECTION NUMBER and its TITLE then SKIP A LINE
  • On the next line, start numbering & answering each  point from your review sheet. (NUMBER THE TERMS 1 – THE LAST TERM)
  • EVERY TERM SHOULD BE A SEPARATE, NUMBERED POINT!!!
  • Write the TERMS from the review sheet in INK; write your RESPONSES in PENCIL!!
  • More than one section can be on the same sheet of paper, but they should be separated by TWO LINES
  • Do NOT write on the back of your notebook sheets.
Due dates for each unit:

  • Unit 1     September 9
  • Unit 2     October 14
  • Unit 3     November 12
  • Unit 4     December 9
  • Unit 5     January 13
  • Unit 6     February 4
  • Unit 7A    February 24
  • Unit 7B    March 8     
  • Unit 8     April 16   

Each reviewed unit counts 100 points for a total of 900 points.

AP Cell Organelle

 

Cell Organelle Model

Introduction:

Within cells there is an intricate network of organelles that all have unique functions. These organelles allow the cell to function properly. Membrane-bound organelles are common in all eukaryotic cells. Cell organelles include the nucleus, nucleolus, chloroplast, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, lysosomes, plasma membrane, cilia & flagella, and centrioles to name a few. The structure of these organelles often determines the function of this cell part.

Objective:

Using information from lecture and the textbook, students will construct a model of a cell organelle that shows how the organelle’s ultrastructure gives rise to its function. A key must be include naming all parts of the organelle.

Guidelines:

  1. No food materials are allowed.
  2. All parts of the organelle discussed in lecture & the textbook must be included for full credit.
  3. The model must be 3-dimensional and must be able to stand or lay on the lab counter.

Grading:

  1. The more detail in the organelle, the more points will be awarded.
  2. Models must be sturdy & 3-dimensional.
  3. Points will be awarded for attractiveness & artistic merit.

 

Amylase Writeup

What to Include in Your Lab Write–Up
Lab: Enzyme Amylase Action on Starch

Introduction:

  • What is an enzyme
  • Describe an enzyme’s structure
  • Explain how an enzyme works (substrate, active site)
  • What’s amylase
  • Where is amylase found
  • What denatures amylase (proteins)
  • Describe the Benedict’s test

Hypothesis:
Exposure to heat or extreme pH will …

Materials:
The materials used include…

 Methods:
Type the procedure in paragraph form.

Results:

Complete this table

Test Tube Contents of Tube Color of Tube After Heating + or – Benedict’s test Enzyme Denatured

Yes or no
A Starch + Saliva + Vinegar
B (Starch + Saliva) Heated
C Starch + Saliva

 Conclusion:

  • Restate the hypothesis
  • Explain the results of the Benedict’s test on Tube C (color change, contents of tube, NOT heated)
  • Explain the results of the Benedict’s test on Tube A ( color change, contents on tube, what was added before heating)
  • Explain the results of the Benedict’s test on Tube B ( color change, contents on tube, heating tube)
  • Tell what denaturing proteins is & how did the Benedict’s test show this.
