Biology Study Guide

For Common District Assessment 1

This is intended to guide your studies for the first exam. It contains information similar to that
likely to be found on the test. Note that you are responsible for all material covered in class. This
includes characteristics of living things, characteristics of different types of cells, functions and
structure of cell organelles, characteristics of viruses, reproduction methods used by viruses and
prokaryotes, how to draw and/or recognize macromolecules and their monomers, functions of
macromolecules, characteristics of the three domains and six kingdoms this includes the ability
to identify organisms in each based on characteristics!.
