AP Biology Practice 7- Scales, Concepts and Representations Video Review Sheet

Are you going to try his Wiki game?

**To review for the AP Test when I have a better understanding but not right now

Big Idea examples: elaborate on...

Evolution, Free Energy, Information, and Systems

Domains outside of biology

Thermodynamics (Physics), Biochemistry, and Chemistry -using bio, chem, and math

Thermodynamics (Physics) Example:

all energy comes from the sun- its converted through photosynthesis and then we make use of that in our food

Systems: Cotton ex sugar able to create...

cellulose

Scale: draw and label intersecting diagram and use one of his examples:

complexity, timespan, + size -very simple to very complex -ex: Dna in relation to Ecosystem (see notes for diagram!)

This practice is about ____________________________ knowledge. Bringing together different disciplines.

connecting

Free Energy: Feedback loops and how they allow organisms to survive in...

different environments

Chemistry Example:

diffusion- how nutrients, molecules, gasses, etc. are moving around inside life

Information: Himalayan rabbit ex, expressing different genes depending on...

environmental cues

One of the Two Goals: Connect Phenomenon and Models Across __________________ and ____________ scales. Try answering the question before he does. ____

spatial and temporal; A

One of the Two Goals: Connect Concepts _____ and ______________ Domains. Try ___

In and Across; B

Evolution example: peppered moth, what happens over...

time

Biochemistry Example:

understanding how a phospholipid is going to have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail allows us better to understand at a more complex scale how a cell membrane works
