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
