This is a doc that I made in my honors bio class. It helped me get 96% on my test. The pictures, colors, and graphs that I provided really helped me remember and understand the concepts.

• Basic lab safety. Always be careful around lab equipment and get help if
there is a problem.
• Basic unit conversions (a help sheet will be provided with the unit conversions,
complete math calculations). (D= M/V)
130 lbs → kg: 130/2.2= 59.1kg
height 6’2” → cm: 2.54 x 12=30.48 x 6 = 182.88 + 5.08 = 187.96 cm
ft in 4 mi: 5280 x 4 = 21120 ft
110*C → *F: (1.8)110=(F-32)(1.8)/1.8 = 230 *F
min in 72 hrs: 72 x 60= 4320 min
90 km in canada → mph: 0.62 x 90 = 55.8 mph
quantity: SI units: common equivalents:
length meter (m) 1 in= 2.54 cm
1 mi= 5280 ft
0.62= 1 km
volume cubic meter (m3) 1 cm3= i mL= 1 cc
4 qts= 1 gal
Chapter 1 Biology: Exploring Life (2-17 )
• 7 Properties of Life (Sec 1.1), pg. 2
reproduction= organisms reproduce to make more of their species
energy processing= organisms take in energy and use it to power their
bodies
evolutionary adaptation= adaptations that evolve over time for the benefit
of the organism. (changing abilities, appearance, ways of living, etc.)
order= life is characterized by highly ordered structures
regulation= organisms have natural regulation systems that help them
survive
response to the environment= all organisms respond to environmental
stimuli
growth and development= inherited information in DNA controls the way
the organism will grow and develop
homeostasis= the process by which living organisms maintain a stable
internal environment despite changes in external conditions
