Give the functions for the following cell parts:

Cell Part / Function / In plant, animal or both
Chloroplasts
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Nucleus
Cell wall
Cell membrane
Golgi bodies

I can justify the reason bacteria are classified as cells using the three parts of the Cell Theory.

I can also use this theory to explain why viruses are not alive.

I can give examples of reasons why competition occurs between organisms.

I can differentiate between the following 5 different types of symbiosis and give examples of each.

Parasitism:

Predation:

Commensalism:

Mutualism:

Scavenging:

I can give examples of the following types of organisms

Carnivore:

Omnivore:

Producer:

Consumer:

Herbivore:

I can explain what happens to the energy as you go up steps in a food web/pyramid?

I can draw an energy pyramid and explain what organisms are found at each level, why and how many.

I can associate cellular respiration to photosynthesis, what organisms it takes place in and where in the cell it takes place.

I can draw the equation for photosynthesis and explain where it takes place and in which types of organisms.

I can draw the Carbon cycle and associate its relationship to the water cycle.

I can justify the need for the Water cycle:

I can sketch and explain why the Nitrogen cycle is a vital part of life on earth.

I can explain how my body maintains homeostasis in multiple ways.

I can explain the three types of osmosis.

I can compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis.

I can make a model of DNA and label the sugar, phosphates and the 4 kinds of bases that make it up.

I can give 3 similarities and 3 differences between RNA and DNA.

I can model base pairing.

I can justify the reason for DNA replication in my cells.

I can model the process of protein synthesis using the nucleus, DNA, mRNA, tRNA and ribosomes, codon & anticodon.

I can compare and contrast transcription and translation.

I can summarize the relationship between dominant and recessive alleles and give multiple examples of each using the terms heterozygous and homozygous.

I can explain the following types of dominance and give examples of each.

Sex-linked traits:

Co-dominance:

Incomplete dominance:

I can produce a punnett square for each of the above types of dominance.

I can explain the purpose of sketching a pedigree.

I can draw a pedigree of my family w/ at least 3 families included, showing a recessive trait being passed down through at least 2 generations.

I can associate a chromosome to DNA.

I can sketch and label the parts of the pH scale (basic, acidic, neutral, 1-14).

I can justify the purpose of an adaptation using multiple examples.

I can give examples of how mutations can beneficial or harmful.

I can explain how some adaptations originate from mutations.

I can differentiate between the 3 types of adaptations and give examples of each.

I can compare Charles Darwin to Gregor Mendel.

I can explain how natural selection leads to evolution.

I can explain how any types of isolation can cause speciation.

I can compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis using cell types, number of cells produced, descriptions of cells and amount of DNA in each cell type.

I can explain why cells go through mitosis.

I can justify the purpose of human cells going through meiosis.

I can give 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages for sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.

I can relate the 6 properties of water to an example:

Give the functions for the different organ systems:

System / Function / Major Organs
Digestive
Respiratory
Circulatory
Muscular
Skeletal
Integumentary
Nervous
Endocrine
Excretory

List the uses for the main types of organic compounds and give examples of each:

Compound / Building Blocks / Use / Examples
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Protein
Nucleic acid

I can justify the purpose for following the scientific method.

I can explain how scientists & students can conduct various different experiments on the same topic and develop the same conclusions.

I can differentiate between independent variables, control variables and dependent variables in an experiment.

I can explain how technology is constantly changing what we know about science and the world.

I can give the difference between a theory in science and an “everyday theory”.
