Honors Biology Summer Assignment: Part 2 of 3 Etymology ‐ Greek and Latin Word Parts The number of vocabulary terms in a year of Biology is comparable to a year of a foreign language. It is critical that we begin obtaining the vocabulary as soon as possible. Much of the vocabulary in science is based on Greek and Latin word parts. To speed up your learning of biology vocabulary this school year you will be required to learn the following word parts. Knowledge of these word parts will certainly be useful in Biology, but you’ll also find they’ll be helpful in other classes, especially if you’re studying one of the Latin based languages such Spanish or French. 

You will be assessed on your knowledge of these word parts at the start of the new school year. Primarily, the test will require you to match scientific terms to their appropriate definition based on known word parts.  For example: The term “chromosome” would match with the definition “a colored body found in the nucleus of a cell; contains the genetic material” because “chrom‐” means “color” and “soma” means “body”. Other questions might ask you to put word parts that are related to numbers into numerical order.  Ex: Arrange the following prefixes in order from smallest to largest – hepta, hex, tri, mono, tetra, bi.  Answer: mono (1), bi (2), tri (3), tetra (4), hex (6), hepta (7) Still others might require you to identify differences between related terms.  Ex: How are omnivores, carnivores and herbivores different?  Answer: They all “devour” things, but carnivores eat meat, herbivores eat flesh, and omnivores eat it all. Many terms mean the same thing.  Ex: Which of the following terms does not belong? super‐, hypo‐, extra‐, hyper‐.  Answer: hypo‐; all of the others mean “above or beyond”, hypo‐ means “under” To help you review the terms, a link to a set of Quizlet flashcards will be posted on Edmodo along with periodic practice quizzes you can complete as you prepare for the new school year. It is recommended that you begin learning these terms at the beginning of the summer and regularly quiz yourself as the summer progresses. Expect the flashcards to be posted early this summer. Quizzes will come a bit later. General Words Part Definition

Honors Biology Summer Assignment: Part 3 of 3 Review of 8th Grade Basic Chemistry Concepts Before the start of the new school year you should be able to:  Describe the structure of an atom. Be sure to include the positions of protons, neutrons, and electrons along with the charge of each.  Read the period table of elements and use the information found on the table to answer questions.  Ex: From the information given, identify the number of protons, electrons, and the average number of neutrons for an atom of this element. the atomic number and # of protons always match ‐
In a neutral atom, electrons = protons 7.999 rounded = 8 the average number of neutrons for an atom of oxygen is 8  Describe the difference between ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds in terms of how each type of bond is held together, the relative strength of each type of bond, and give an example of each.  Using an example solution, describe what a solution is and identify the solvent and solute of the solution.  Give examples of common acids and bases and identify where they lie on the pH scale.  Relate monomers to polymers.  Describe the function of each of the four carbon‐based molecules of life along with examples.  Identify the reactants and products of a chemical reaction.  Explain what the activation energy of a chemical reaction is and relate activation energy to catalysts and enzymes. The following Chapter 2 Reinforcement pages have been provided to act as a guide to help focus your studies. This review doesn’t require the use of the textbook but using the book, along with the review games, concept maps, and animations that can be found on classzone.com could prove extremely beneficial. Be able to draw and label an atom. Include the charge for each part.
