Standard Level Biology
Using this Revision Guide
Welcome to the International Baccalaureate Standard Level Biology Revision Guide, 2016 edition.
The format is clear, colourful and simple to follow. Key points, facts and principles are listed for easy learning, and diagrams are designed to make them easy to learn and reproduce in an exam. Remember that a clear diagram provides an instant essay plan therefore helping you to gain the extra mark for clarity and organisation.
Although the guide covers every aspect of the Standard Level course the layout does not follow the sequence of the syllabus. Instead it has been reorganised to follow a more developmental sequence as Chapters, starting with Mathematical Requirements, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cell Metabolism, and Human Physiology. These are followed by Ecology, Genetics and finally Evolution and Biodiversity.
'Pale blue boxes' contain information that helps with understanding by providing additional information. However you do not need to learn this.
I
J Other 'coloured boxes', such as these green and yellow ones,
-...;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;.....J, contain information that you do need to know.
� This means you need to be � able to 'draw' the diagram or
diagrams.
This means you need to be able to 'identify' the diagram when it is given in an exam question.
'Annotate' means adding some further information to the labels.
This is your revision book, so every few pages are sets of 'Grey Box Questions'. These contain simple questions and you should be able to complete these. The answers are at the end of the chapter.
24. What type of cell division do prokaryotic cells
use?
In addition to these there are a few larger 'Revision' boxes. Krebs Cycle
At the end of each chapter there are a number of Self-test Quizzes, containing 'multiplechoice questions'. A suggested way to approach revision would be to work your way through a chapter and test yourself with the Grey Box Questions. Then at a later date check how much you have really learnt by trying the Self-test Quizzes. Remember that when you answer multiple choice questions NEVER choose the first one that sounds right. Examiners sometimes put in a trick answer as A or B. Always read ALL four answers and try to think of the reason why the other three are wrong. The answers are in Appendix 1 on pages 210-12.
Chapter Two Molecular Biology Part 1 Carbon, water, carbohydrates, lipids
Molecular Biology looks at four major groups
of biological molecules - carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins and nucleic acids.
All organic molecules are based on the carbon atom.

Molecules
Hydrophilic and hydrophobic
Amphipathic
Carbon
Water
Comparing the thermal properties of water and methane
Water as a heat transporter
Water as a habitat
Water as a coolant
Water as a transporter in blood
Water as a transporter in plants
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides and disaccharides
Polysaccharides
Cellulose
Starch
Lipids
Triglycerides
Fatty acid structure
Phospholipids
Steroids
Carbohydrates and lipids as energy stores
Scientific evidence for health risks of trans fats and saturated fatty acids

In alpha glucose it is below the ring and in beta glucose it is above the ring. In alpha glucose the hydroxyl groups are down, down, up, down - DOUD. In beta glucose the hydroxyl groups are up, down, up, down - UDUD.
Monosaccharides and disaccharides Key points � Monosaccharides have a single ring of carbon atoms. � Glucose and ribose are monosaccharides. � Ribose is a pentose because it has 5 carbon atoms. � Glucose is a hexose because it has 6 carbon atoms. � Two monosaccharide monomers (hexoses) are joined by condensation to form a disaccharide

Two monosaccharides form a disaccharide / Maltose = glucose + glucose Lactose = glucose + galactose Sucrose = glucose + fructose

Glossary
ASEPTATE A septum is a dividing wall: aseptate means without a septum. CONTRACTILE VACUOLE A special structure found in some simple fresh water organisms that collects the water entering the cell
via osmosis and then pumps it out of the cell. EXCRETION Removal of the waste products of metabolism. FACILITATE To make easier. GENOME In prokaryotes it is all the information in the single circular chromosome plus plasmids.
In eukaryotic animals it is all the information in a haploid set of chromosomes plus mitochondrial DNA. In eukaryotic plants it is all the information in a haploid set of chromosomes plus mitochondrial DNA plus chloroplast DNA.
HYDROPHILIC Water lovinq. HYDROPHOBIC Water hatinq. HYPERTONIC A solution that has a hiqher solute concentration than the one it is beinq compared with. HYPOTONIC A solution that has a lower solute concentration than the one it is beinq compared with. ISOTONIC A solution that has the same solute concentration as the one it is beina compared with. KINETIC ENERGY The enerqy an object possesses due to its motion. MESOSOME In prokaryotic cells the plasma membrane extends inwards to form a folded structure containing the
enzvmes for respiration. OS MOLARITY A measure of the concentration of osmotically active solutes in a solution. PARTIALLY PERMEABLE Some substances are able to diffuse throuqh the membrane. SECRETION Release from a cell by exocvtosis of a useful substance e.Q. hormone. SEM: TEM Scanninq electron microqraph : Transmission electron microqraph. SOLUTE A substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. SOLVENT A liquid that dissolves a solute. WATER POTENTIAL The tendency of water to move from one region to another. The more dilute the solution the higher the
water potential.
Stem cell glossary
TOTIPOTENT Cells which can differentiate into all cell types because all their genes are functional. This can lead to development of a complete living organism.
PLURIPOTENT Cells which can differentiate into nearly all cell types and arise from totipotent cells as a result of some genes being switched off. This makes them valuable for stem cell therapy. Read about how adult cells can be turned into pluripotent cells - induced pluripotent cells - by following this link.
htti:1://stemcells. nih.gov/i nfo/basics/1:1ages/basics 1 O.as1:1x
MUL TIPOTENT Cells which can differentiate into a small range of closely related cell types. An example is haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) found in bone marrow which can make every type of blood cell - red cells, white cells and platelets.
OLIGOPOTENT Cells which can only differentiate into a few cell types.
UNI POTENT Cells which can produce only one cell type, their own, but have the property of being able to keep dividing which distinguishes them from non-stem cells. An example would be the germinal epithelial cells in the testis.
