MYP Biology

Formula Sheet & Key Data

For use during the course and in examinations

Cell Biology & Microscopy

Magnification\(M = \dfrac{I}{A}\)
Actual size\(A = \dfrac{I}{M}\)
Image size\(I = A \times M\)
Surface area to volume ratio\(\text{SA:V} = \dfrac{\text{Surface Area}}{\text{Volume}}\)

M = magnification, I = image size, A = actual size. Units must be consistent (usually μm or mm).

Ecology & Populations

Population density\(\text{Pop. density} = \dfrac{\text{Number of individuals}}{\text{Area}}\)
Population growth rate\(\text{Growth rate} = \dfrac{\text{Final} - \text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}} \times 100\%\)
Percentage cover\(\% = \dfrac{\text{Area covered by species}}{\text{Total area}} \times 100\)
Lincoln index (capture–recapture)\(N = \dfrac{n_1 \times n_2}{m}\)

N = estimated population, n₁ = first sample marked, n₂ = second sample total, m = recaptured marked individuals.

Genetics & Inheritance

Monohybrid ratio (heterozygous cross)\(3 : 1\) (phenotypic)
Dihybrid ratio (heterozygous cross)\(9 : 3 : 3 : 1\) (phenotypic)
Test cross ratio (heterozygous)\(1 : 1\) (phenotypic)

Use Punnett squares to determine genotype and phenotype ratios.

Photosynthesis & Respiration

Photosynthesis\(6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow{\text{light}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2\)
Aerobic respiration\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{energy}\)
Anaerobic (animals)\(\text{glucose} \rightarrow \text{lactic acid}\)
Anaerobic (yeast)\(\text{glucose} \rightarrow \text{ethanol} + \text{CO}_2\)

Enzymes

Rate of reaction\(\text{Rate} = \dfrac{1}{\text{time taken}}\)
Temperature coefficient (\(Q_{10}\))\(Q_{10} = \dfrac{\text{rate at } (T+10)}{\text{rate at } T}\)

Breathing & Gas Exchange

Breathing rate\(\text{BR} = \dfrac{\text{number of breaths}}{\text{time (min)}}\)
Tidal volumeVolume of air in a normal breath (\(\approx 0.5\;\text{dm}^3\))
Vital capacityMaximum volume exhaled after maximum inhalation

Key Data

Light microscope magnificationUp to \(\times 1500\)
Electron microscope magnificationUp to \(\times 500{,}000\)
Typical animal cell\(10\text{–}30\;\mu\text{m}\)
Typical plant cell\(10\text{–}100\;\mu\text{m}\)
Typical bacterium\(1\text{–}5\;\mu\text{m}\)
1 mm\(= 1000\;\mu\text{m}\)
1 μm\(= 1000\;\text{nm}\)
