Bio 10 Study Guide #3

Biology 10 - Exam #3 Study Guide

Exam Date & Start Time: Tuesday, November 24th @ 9:20 in SM 35 (Exam begins at 9:20, please arrive on time)

Bring to each lab exam:

#2 pencils,
large eraser,
scantron #882

All other materials must be put away (i.e. in backpacks under your seats and/or at the front of the room). Test forms and other materials will be provided as necessary.

Exam Format:

The exam is worth 125 points and consists of a mix of true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions. Remember that the exam will cover all material presented, primarily from the lecture (however, the lab activities are intended to reinforce the lecture and should also be reviewed). You will have the full lecture period (if needed) to complete the exam so their should not be any time pressure. Note that once the exam begins you will not be able to leave and return (please visit the rest room prior to test time).

How to study:

You should review all of the lecture and lab material since the start of the semester which includes the following lectures and associated labs:

Lecture Topics:	Chpts	Labs:
Circulation & Respiration	32, 33, 35	Lab 11 - Cardiovascular & Respiratory Fitness
Cell Reproduction: Mitosis & Meiosis	9, 10	Lab 7 - Cell Division & Gene Expression
Reproduction	27, 41, 42	Lab 12 - Reproduction

Although you should have a clear understanding of all the material covered in all lectures and labs the exam will be more heavily weighted towards certain topics. Below is a partial list of topics that are sure to be on the test (use this list with caution, the italicized lists are intended as a general guide only).

I. Circulation & Respiration (~ 30-35%)

describe the roles of the circulatory & respiratory systems in respiration
describe the different phases of respiration (distinguished by location and system involved)
describe the structure of the heart (follow the path of blood through the heart in correct order)
describe how the heart and its various parts work
describe the different types of blood cells and their function
describe the different types of blood vessels and their function
describe the different parts of the conductive zone of the respiratory system and the function of each
describe the structure and function of the exchange zone of the respiratory system

II. Cell Reproduction: Mitosis & Meiosis (~ 30-35%)

define & describe "nuclear division" (both types) & "cytokinesis"

compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction

describe the make-up of the nucleus and chromosome

describe all of the stages of the cell life cycle

describe all of the stages of mitosis

describe all of the stages of meiosis

III. Reproduction (~ 30%)

define "reproduction" (both sexual and asexual), "fertilization", and "growth"
describe the sexual reproduction life cycle (showing alternation of generations)
distinguish between primary and secondary (accessory) reproductive structures
describe the structure and function of the male reproductive structures
describe the structure and function of the female reproductive structures

IV. Laboratory (~ 5%)

Some questions will be related to the activities completed in the laboratories that support the lecture topics above. Review your labs and lab quizzes to prepare for this portion of the exam.

Note: The test includes multiple choice questions as well as several fill-in questions. Be sure to read the questions and all answers carefully before answering. You may write on your exam but please keep the scantron forms neat (do not fold or wrinkle the scantron form, and completely erase any stray marks or changes). Relax and do your best, you will have plenty of time to complete the exam.

The amount of time you spend working with the ideas and material presented in this course will directly effect your understanding of biology. Use your lecture outlines and labs as your guide to the material in the book. Use the text and other resources (i.e. study guide, web links, coloring books, video etc.) as references to fill in the "blanks" on the lecture outlines. Then practice by answering the study questions at the end of your lecture outlines and at the end of each chapter in the text. There is a lot to learn in this class, take advantage of the resources available to you, do all your reading, review your notes, form a study group, and ask questions. Remember, studying is work, but it should also be interesting. I hope you are enjoying what you are learning. You have learned a lot already!
