Equation for photosynthesis = CO2 + H20 + Sunlight ----> Sugar + Oxygen

Know this diagram:

photosynthesis overview

The left side = the light reactions; the right side = the light independent reactions (also known as the dark reactions)

Know the structure of a chloroplast: Thylakoid, Stroma

Know where the oxygen comes from (H2O) and where the sugar comes from (CO2)

ATP Production occurs via an electron transport chain (similar to respiration)—during the light reactions

See the diagram below:

respiration etc

Know structure of ATP

Know the relationship between DNA, Genes, Chromosomes, Chromatin and Genome

Know the structure of DNA: 4 Bases

Know the stages of mitosis and meiosis and what happens during each stage

Know what a chromatid is (see diagram below)

chromosome, chromatids

Know diploid (2n) and haploid (n)

Know the cell cycle and its role in cancer.

Know the end results of mitosis and meiosis

Know what happens during prophase I of meiosis (synapsis, tetrads, crossing over)

Know the chromosome structure of males (XY) and females (XX)

Know the difference between phenotype and genotype

Be able to solve genetic problems (see below)

punnett square, monohybrid problem

Know what X-linked genes are

Know the following terms:
