400 1. Define chemical and free energy
400 2. Chemical, transport and mechanical work within a cell
400 3. Obtainment of energy: consumption of other living organisms vs. utlilization of abiotic factors (photosynthesis and chemosynthesis)
400 4. The path of energy through organisms (photosynthesis and cellular respiration) and through the ecosystem
400 5. The role of autotrophs and heterotrophs (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers) in an ecosystem
400 6. Energy conversions
400 7. The role of enzymes in catalyzing chemical reactions in living organims: enzymes, catalyst, active site, substrate
400 8. Factors that affect enzyme activity
400 9. Digestion in single celled and multicellular organisms
400 10. Metabolism: synthesis vs. decomposition reactions
400 11. The role of ATP as an energy carrying molecule and its molecular make-up

500 Students in Biology I will develop the ability to:
500 1. Analyze a food chain/web and pyramid, including the relationship of the autotrophs and heterotrophs and flow of energy and biomass,
500 2. How do enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction,
500 3. Describe the factors that affect enzymatic activity,
500 4. Explain the purpose of digestion,
500 5. Compare physical and chemical digestion,
