AP BIOLOGY EXAM ESSAY (FREE RESPONSE) QUESTIONS General directions: Answers must be in essay form. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion, but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely, and answer each section of the question. When giving examples, the first ones you give will be the ones graded. (if two examples are asked for, and you write about 4, make sure the first two are the best ones; they are the only ones counted!) UNIT 1 BIOCHEMISTRY, WATER, ENZYMES #1 (1996) The unique properties of water make life possible on earth. Select three properties of water and a. for each property, identify and define the property and explain it in terms of the physical/chemical nature of water.

Evolution Evolution is change over time. The Theory of Evolution states that all organisms share a single common ancestor and have evolved over time. It also states that this has occurred largely due to changes in environmental conditions that have led to a necessity for organisms to change and adapt or go extinct. Darwin?s Theory of Natural Selection In 1831, Charles Darwin set sail on the HMS Beagle as the ship?s naturalist. His job was to collect biological and geological specimens. After traveling from England across the Atlantic and collecting specimens along the eastern and western coasts of South America, the ship landed in the Galapagos Islands.

The Living Environment The study of organisms and their interactions with the environment. Topics Unit 1: Ecology Unit 2: The Cell Unit 3: Genetics Unit 4: History of Biological Diversity Unit 5: The Human Body GENETICS The science of heredity and the study of how traits are passed on from generation to generation. Mendelian Genetics: How Genetics Began Commonly referred to as the ?father of modern genetics? Gregor Mendel, born in 1822 in what is now the Czech Republic, published the first known findings of heredity in 1866. His primary findings were based on the study of pea plants during his 14 year tenure as an Austrian monk in charge of the monastery garden. Mendelian Genetics

IB Biology Evolution We are all related, one big family in the ?tree of life? We are not just a HUMAN FAMILY ? we are a LIVING family Evolution Do you mean the yeast are OUR distant cousins? Some thoughtful questions? What happened when scientist Paul Nurse added human DNA to the yeast cells? What does this indicate about the evolutionary history of yeast and humans? An interactive website for you to go to Standard 5.4.1 Define Evolution The cumulative change of heritable characteristics of a population Cumulative change ? small changes upon small changes that add up to large changes over long time scales and many generations! Heritable characteristics ? traits controlled by the genes Population ? not an individual 5.4.2

Life is made of: The properties of Life: Order Evolutionary adaptation Response to the environment Reproduction Growth & Development Energy processing Regulation EVOLUTION: THE PROCESS OF CHANGE THAT HAS TRANSFORMED LIFE ON EARTH Fossils Prove Evolution Darwin?s Origin of Species (1859) ?Decent with Modification? Descent with modification refers to the passing on of traits from parent organisms to their offspring. This passing on of traits is known as heredity, and the basic unit of heredity is the gene.

Bio 220 Campbell 9th Edition Chapter 1

Evolution- the process of change that has transformed life on earth from its earliest beginning to the diversity of organisms living today Fundamental organizing principle of biology ? 1.1 The study of life extends from the microscopic scale of the molecules and cells that make up organisms to the global scale of the entire living planet Emergent Properties- The arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases. Although photosynthesis occurs in intact chloroplasts, it will not take place in a disorganized test-tube mixture of chlorophyll and other chloroplast molecules . Photosynthesis requires a specific organization of these molecules in the chloroplast. Theme: New properties emerge at each level in the biological hierarchy
