1 PROJECT ASPIRE PREREQUISITE SKILLS ASSESSMENTS School Subject West Vigo High School AP biology Assessment Number 1 Identify the parts of the cell and relate their structure and function. (1) The components and functions of the organelles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. (2) The function of the cell membrane and the importance of diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. Assessment Number 2 Compare and contrast the form and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.. (1) Difference in how prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic live and multiply (2) That prokaryotic cells and bacteria and their relatives and that all other organisms are eukaryotic. Assessment Number 3.Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis. (1) The differences in the events of mitosis and meiosis. (2) The contrasting outcomes of mitosis and meiosis.

2 Assessment Number 4 Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis (1) The differences in the events of mitosis and meiosis. (2) The contrasting outcomes of mitosis and meiosis Assessment Number 5 Compare and contrast the form and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.. (1) Difference in how prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic live and multiply (2) That prokaryotic cells and bacteria and their relatives and that all other organisms are eukaryotic (3) The importance of ATP to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Assessment Number 6 Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis (1) The differences in the events of mitosis and e=meiosis (2) The contrasting outcomes of mitosis and meiosis Assessment Number 7 Describe how cells and their life processes are regulated. Understand how enzymes work and their importance in the chemical reactions of cells

3 Assessment Number 8 Understand the energy transfer molecules and processes used in biological organisms such as ATP, enzymes, photosynthesis, and cellular respiration (1) Understand that ATP is the energy currency of chemical reactions withinliving cells (2) Understand that ATP couples exergonic and endergonic reactions (3) Understand how aerobic respiration yields STP plus CO and H 0 as wastes 2 2 (4) Understand how the process of photocynthesis captures light energy to produce hydrocarbon Assessment Number 9 Understand and explain the molecular basis of inheritance and how traits are transmitted from parent to offspring. (1) Knowledge of the compounds of DNA (2) Knowledge of the components and structure of chromosomes Assessment Number 10 Apply Mendel s Laws of Segregation and Independent Assortment. Knowledge of how gametes are formed and why the two alleles carried by a parent must separate.

4 Assessment Number 11 Calculate the outcome of genetic crosses. The student should be capable of doing dihybrid crosses involving straight dominance, incomplete dominance, and sex-linked traits. Assessment Number 12 Demonstrate an understanding of the role of changes in the genetic code to changes in genotypes and phenotypes. (1) The student should know the constituents of DNA. (2) The student should know how changes in DNA code lead to changes in genotypes and phenotypes. Assessment Number 13 Describe how life on Earth has changed over time. The student is to know how life began and ho changes in earth environment has lead to changes in existing life. Assessment Number 14 Trace the relationship between environmental changes to changes in gene pool. (1) The student is to know how survival of the most well-adapted organisms produce changes in gene pools. (2) The student is to know how DNA must be modified for changes in gene pools to occur.

5 Assessment Number 15. Discuss and explain the evidence for evolution through natural selection The student is to know the contributions of Darwin to the evidence of population change through natural selection. Assessment Number 16. Appreciate the role of Charles Darwin and his book Origin of Species to the development of evolution thought Assessment Number 15.
