About this resource
This AP Biology Unit 1 quiz comprehensively covers biochemistry fundamentals appropriate for grades 11-12, focusing on the molecular basis of life. The questions assess students' understanding of the four major macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids), their monomeric units, structural characteristics, and biological functions. Students must demonstrate mastery of polymer formation through dehydration synthesis and breakdown via hydrolysis, recognize the elemental composition of biological molecules, and understand protein structure levels. The quiz also evaluates knowledge of chemical bonding types, water properties including hydrogen bonding and density changes during freezing, functional groups and their effects on molecular behavior, and basic atomic structure including isotopes. Students need strong foundational chemistry knowledge combined with biological applications to successfully identify macromolecules from structural descriptions, predict molecular properties based on functional groups, and explain the relationship between molecular structure and biological function. Created by Amy Jensen, a Biology teacher in US who teaches grade 9-12. This assessment serves as an excellent tool for evaluating student comprehension of essential biochemistry concepts that form the foundation for all subsequent AP Biology units. The quiz works effectively as a formative assessment to identify knowledge gaps before moving to more complex topics, as a review tool before unit exams, or as homework to reinforce classroom instruction on macromolecules and chemical foundations of life. Teachers can use individual questions as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge or deploy the entire quiz as a comprehensive review before the AP exam. The content directly supports AP Biology Learning Objectives 4.A.1 (the subcomponents of biological molecules and their sequence determine the properties of that molecule) and 4.C.1 (variation in molecular units provides cells with a wider range of functions), along with Science Practice 1.3 (refining representations and models of natural or man-made phenomena) as students analyze molecular structures and predict their properties.
