The Rules of 12U!

• Failure to hand-in an assignment on the due date
  will result in a deduction of 10 per day to a
  maximum of 5 days.
• Once an assignment is marked and handed back
  there will be no chance to submit late work.
• A missed test without a legitimate reason will
  result in a mark of ZERO
• Any conflicts or known absences (i.e. school
  activities) must be communicated to Mr. B ahead
  of time so proper arrangements can be made.

7
KEYS TO SUCCESS!

• Do your homeworkreading and questions most
  nights!
• Study hard for tests!
• Ask for help if needed!
• Use the catch up binder to get caught up quickly
  after being away.
• Use this website to keep up to date

What is Biology?

• Greek Bios (life) and Logos (study)
• Disciplines
• Evolutionary Biology
• Physiology
• Genetics
• Molecular Biology
• Morphology
• Ecology
• Biology often overlaps with other sciences
• Biochemistry and toxicology with biology,
  chemistry.
• Medicine biophysics with biology and physics.
• Astrobiology with biology and astronomy.
• Social sciences such as geography, philosophy,
  psychology and sociology can also interact with
  biology, for example, in administration of
  biological resources, developmental biology,
  biogeography, evolutionary psychology and ethics.

• A scientifically and technologically literate
  person is one who can read and understand common
  media reports about science and technology,
  critically evaluate the information presented,
  and confidently engage in discussions and
  decision-making activities regarding issues that
  involve science and technology.

Unit 1 - Populations

• Population growth follows predictable patterns.
• The increased consumption of resources and
  production of waste associated with population
  growth result in specific stresses that affect
  Earths sustainability.
• Technological developments can contribute to or
  help offset the ecological footprint associated
  with population growth and the consumption of
  natural resources.

15
Unit 2 - Biochemistry

• Technological applications that affect biological
  processes and cellular functions are used in the
  food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
• Biological molecules and their chemical
  properties affect cellular processes and
  biochemical reactions.
• Biochemical compounds play important structural
  and functional roles in cells of all
• living organisms.

16
Unit 3 - Metabolic Processes

• All metabolic processes involve chemical changes
  and energy conversions.
• An understanding of metabolic processes enables
  people to make informed choices with respect to a
  range of personal, societal, and environmental
  issues.

17
Unit 4 - Molecular Genetics

• DNA contains all the genetic information for any
  living organism.
• Proteins control a wide variety of cellular
  processes.
• Genetic research and biotechnology have social,
  legal, and ethical implications.

18
Unit 5 - Homeostasis

• Organisms have strict limits on the internal
  conditions that they can tolerate.
• Systems that maintain homeostasis rely on
  feedback mechanisms.
• Environmental factors can affect homeostasis.
