Midterm Review Sheet

This sheet is only to serve as a guide to help refresh your memory about topics that we covered this semester. You are responsible for knowing anything that we did this semester. The midterm exam will consist of multiple choice questions, matching, and diagram identification. There will also be an essay and short answer part. The format will be similar to the tests we have taken this semester.

Please bring (2) sharpened #2 pencils with a good “pink” eraser to the exam. You may want to bring some reading material since midterm exams will not be collected before a given time.

Science: scientific method, controlled experiment, hypothesis writing, positive control, negative control, conclusion writing, graphing data, id independent and dependent variable on a graph,

Basic Chemistry: define atom, elements, compounds, chemical bonding, isomer, covalent bond, ionic bond, #bonds carbon makes, functional groups

Water – structure, adhesion, cohesion, polar covalent, hydrogen bonds, transport of water in plants, transpiration

Acids/bases, solution, solvent, solute, pH scale, parts of a chemical reaction, neutralization reaction (see pH lab)

Organic Chemistry: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis, structure and function, functional groups, recognition of compounds,

Plasma Membrane Structure, forms of transport across the membrane – osmosis, active transport, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, endocytosis, tonicity

Chemical Reactions – reactants, products, endergonic, exergonic, enzyme structure and function, active site/substrate, denature, energy of activation, ATP structure, phosphorylation, metabolism, anabolism & catabolism, relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis
