Study for Your Performance Final!!! (Honors/Gifted)
Refer to internet if you need help (and you lost your labs...)
-
graph a set of data...know which kind of graph is appropriate (bar, line, pie),
identify the independent (what you change) vs dependent variables (changes as a
result of independent variable), double-line graph
-
analyze data and draw conclusions
-
read an experiment and infer what the purpose was and make a logical prediction
about the results
-
mitosis lab: describe mitosis/cell cycle & label the phases (prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
-
biochemistry lab: what are these indicators for- Benedict's (monosaccharides-
turns from blue to orange, red, or yellow); iodine
(polysaccharides/starches-turns from rust to blue/black); Biuret (proteins-turns
from blue to violet)
-
Genetics: Punnett Squares, monohybrid & dihybrid crosses; sex-linked trait
crosses
-
Electrophoresis Lab: how to read the gel by matching banding patterns
-
Microscope skills: label; focus on various objects under low, medium, high
power; determine total magnification
-
Bell Pepper Lab: differentiate between S (logistic) and J (exponential) growth
curves; label carrying capacity
-
Measurement Lab: use graduated cylinder, metric ruler, electronic balance
-
Protein Synthesis Lab: Transcribe a strand of DNA into mRNA. Use circle
chart to convert mRNA codons into amino acids
-
Protist Lab: recognize major protistis, like amoeba, paramecium, volvox, euglena
-
Ecology Lab: draw a food chain
-
Cell Transport lab (dialysis tube): draw examples of cells placed in hypertonic,
hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. Which way does water move? how does an animal
cell differ from a plant cell in terms of transport? what happened to the
starch? why?
-
Cell Respiration Lab: write the balanced chemical equation. where does it
take place? what are the reactants/products?
-
Fruits, Seeds, & Flowers Lab: label the parts of the flower
-
Cells Lab: label the parts of a plant and animal cell; prokaryotic vs eukaryotic
-
Fungus lab: identify bread mold, Pezizza, and mushroom; how do they reproduce?
-
Shark & Leaf Key labs: use a dichotomous key
-
Celery: identify xylem & phloem; what is it for? what type of plant is it?
-
Pig Lab: determine the sex of a pig; identify major organs: kidneys, lungs,
heart, small intestine
