Exploring Structure and Function in Biology: Proteins, Cells, and Behavior
This content delves into the intricate relationship between structure and function in biology, focusing on proteins as versatile polymers of amino acids, the emergence of life at the cellular level, interactions of cellular membranes with the environment, the correlation of viral structure and function, and various aspects of animal behavior. Additionally, it examines physiological phenomena such as the circulatory system's physiology, effects of body position changes on heart rate and blood pressure, the impact of exercise and temperature on heart rate, concerns about high blood pressure, and how smoking affects blood pressure.

Presentation Transcript
Day 6 AP Biology Review Theme: Structure & Function Lab #10 Physiology of the Circulatory System #11 Animal Behavior
Theme: Structure & Function Proteins, which have diverse functions in a cell, are all polymers of the same subunits- amino acids. Write a short essay (100 150 words) that discusses how the structure of amino acids allow this one type of polymer so many functions.
Theme: Structure & Function Considering some of the characteristics that define life and drawing on your new knowledge of cellular structures and functions, write a short essay ( 100 150 words) that discusses this statement: Life is an emergent property that appears at the level of the cell.
Theme: Structure & Function A human pancreatic cell obtains O2, fuel molecules such as glucose, and building materials such as amino acids and cholesterol from its environment, and it releases CO2as a waste product of cellular respiration. In response to hormonal signals, the cell secretes digestive enzymes. It also regulates its ion concentrations by exchange with its environment. Based on what you have just learned about the structure and function of cellular membranes, write a short essay ( 100 150 words) that describes how such a cell accomplishes these interactions with its environment.
Theme: Structure & Function While viruses are considered by most scientists to be nonliving, they do show some characteristics of life, including the correlation of structure and function. In a short essay (100 150 words), discuss how the structure of a virus correlates with its function.
Lab # 10 Describe the effect of changing body position on heart rate and blood pressure. Explain how exercise changes heart rate Discuss & explain the relationship between heart rate & temperature. Explain why high blood pressure is a health concern. Explain why an athlete must exercise harder or longer to achieve a maximum heart rate than a person who is not as physically fit. Explain why smoking causes a rise in blood pressure. How does temperature affecting heart rate differ between ectothermic organisms & endothermic organisms. Describe at least 4 ways an ectothermic organism s behavior helps it regulate its temperature. Rad, Eva, Conv, Cond,
Lab # 11 Describe some aspects of animal behavior: orientation, agonistic, dominance display or mating behavior Compare and contrast kinesis & taxis
