FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Biochemistry Macromolecules Review Questions for Advanced Placement AP Biology”

by Amy Brown Science
11th - 12th Grade


This free resource is a set of 72 Test Prep Questions for AP Biology on biochemistry, macromolecules, and organic compounds. See a complete list of concepts below. The review questions are in both PowerPoint and Google Slides formats.

Why You Need This Resource:

None of the questions on the AP Biology exam are going to be simple “fact” questions. Both the Multiple Choice and Free Response (Essay) Questions are going to involve analysis, interpretation, predicting, critical analysis, and evaluation type questions. Students must have a solid base of factual knowledge to draw from as they use their critical thinking skills on AP Exam questions. These test prep questions will help your students build their knowledge base.

Reviewing for the AP Biology Exam got you down? These no prep review questions are perfect for students to use individually at home, or in group settings in the classroom. Students love using the questions in a competitive game format.

Help your students get ready for the exam! The amount of material that is covered on the AP Biology exam is often overwhelming to our students. The key to success is review, review, REVIEW! Several months before the exam, I use these Question and Answer PowerPoints (or Google Slides) to get my students reviewing for the exam in May. Each slide in the review consists of one question followed by the answer. As the exam approaches, I spend 10 to 15 minutes each class period reviewing these questions. Keeping previously taught material fresh in the mind of the student is key to scoring well on the AP exam.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!

I offer one of my AP Biology Review PowerPoints/Google Slides as a free download. It covers the topic of Organic Compounds and Biochemistry. This will give you a good idea of what my review questions are like. Click this link to download the free PowerPoint on Organic Compounds.

Why I LOVE ❤️ this resource:

  • Perfect way to get students studying for the AP Biology Exam.
  • Requires no advanced prep work.
  • Saves your time! The work is already done for you.
  • EDITABLE! PRINTABLE! DIGITAL!
  • Can be used as a classroom review game.
  • Can be shared with students so they can review at home.
  • Multiple Formats: PowerPoint, Google Slides with answers, or Google Slides with text boxes.

This is not a teaching PowerPoint. This PowerPoint would not be suitable for teaching the material for the first time. Each Review PowerPoint slide consists of one question followed by the answer.

I have included several EDITABLE formats depending on how you would like to use this resource with your students.

  • PowerPoint Presentation: When the PowerPoint presentation is played the student will see only the question. With the next click, the answer appears on the same slide. Click again to get the next question slide.
  • Google Slides Presentation: When the Google Slides presentation is played the student will see only the question. With the next click, the answer appears on the same slide. Click again to get the next question slide.
  • Google Slides With Included Text Boxes: In this version, text boxes have been placed on each slide. Students will read the question, then type their answer in the text box. Answers are not shown to students in this version. You can use this version as a graded assignment.

Each of the above versions is editable. You can delete unwanted questions and/or add additional questions of your own.

Please note the following:

  • The questions cover the biology content that AP students need to know. Students must master the content in order to apply what they know to the problem-solving and critical-thinking AP multiple choice questions. The questions are not optimized for specific types of multiple choice questions that might appear on the new version AP exam.
  • No multiple-choice questions are included. Each slide has one question followed by the answer.
  • The review PowerPoint does not contain any essay questions or teaching tips for writing the essay questions.
  • No materials from the College Board or old AP exams are included.

This review powerpoint contains 72 slides with 72 questions and answers. It covers the following:

  • Organic compounds: Definition, types of organic compounds, elements that compose the organic compounds, the role of carbon, carbon backbones
  • Characteristics of carbon
  • Functional groups: Definition of function group, functions of function groups, hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, phosphate
  • The building blocks of organic compounds: sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids, and nitrogen bases
  • Polymer principles: macromolecules, polymers, monomers, dehydration reactions, hydrolysis reactions
  • How to identify and recognize each monomer
  • Carbohydrates: general structure, type of sugars, structural and storage polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin, glycosidic linkages
  • Lipids: general structure, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, saturated and unsaturated, uses of lipids, phospholipids, waxes and cholesterol.
  • Proteins: general structure, amino acids, levels of protein organization, uses of proteins, denaturation of proteins, peptide bonds
