<p>Do you think I can salvage any points from that? I read it as regulation via protein.</p>
<p>“And the problem with zooplankton is they are not a producer”</p>
<p>Oh, no way. ): Lmao that kills me, because I almost put phytoplankton but then I second-guessed their existance. Oops. That’s why you’re supposed to go with your instinct!</p>
<p>Possibly 1a1. Possibly.</p>
<p>Another question: glycolysis techincally requires ATP, doesn’t it? I know its primary purpose is to produce it, but it creates 4 ATP with only a net gain of 2…</p>
<p>yeah, I switched zoo and phyto plankton (so both were wrong). And I should have known the right order, because I saw a food web for marine ecosystem with both of those species the prior friday.</p>
<p>And yeah, glycolysis requires ATP in the first few steps. I don’t know why that is relevant, though.</p>
<p>Would 2 acceptable factors for the FRQ 1 be water salinity and traces of fish chemicals left behind? (hormones / excrements)</p>
<p>Also, would sea turtles be an acceptable primary consumer?</p>
<p>^Do you mean the two extra controlled variables? I don’t think those are the best two variables to control, but who knows?</p>
<p>One of the questions was to describe two processes that required ATP.</p>
<p>OK then, that is a very good answer, then.</p>
<p>Muscle contraction and active transport? lol</p>
<p>:O Those were the exact same examples i used!</p>
<p>For the trophic level question, do you think plankton - goldfish - salmon - shark would be okay? I think putting plankton - small fish - big fish - shark is too broad and I don’t think they would really give points for that… Plankton’s a producer, right? </p>
<p>And for the “two specific mechanisms of protein regulation in eukaryotic cells” … what were they even looking for? </p>
<p>Out of cliffs, it says “mechanims of gene expression in eukaryotic cells include the following: regulatory proteins, nucleosome packing, RNA interference”… I totally forgot about those and I talked about cyclin-dependent kinases and density-dependent inhibition because I had no idea.</p>
<p>For fish physiology, I put increased respiratory rate in higher temperatures and talked about the anatomy of gills (briefly) and then I talked about increased heart rate in higher temperatures…do you think I will get any points out of that? And for the graph, I drew a histogram. I think a line graph doesn’t work for this data.</p>
<p>For the 2 specific cell processes that require ATP, I did muscle contraction and glycolysis. What did you do?</p>
<p>Genetic change I did crossing over and mutations. Evidence of evolution I did paleontology and comparative anatomy. I failed the tree.</p>
<p>I put photosynthesis and active transport required ATP.</p>
<p>Lol Equilibrium.
I used phytoplankton, small fish, penguins, seals for the marine ecology examples. xD
<3 penguins and seals haha</p>
<p>^FYI: I think CDK’s are a very good answer for protein regulation. Kinases phosphorylate many different proteins, and CDKs are crucial for the cell cycle. I said MCDK for protein regulation (I wrote a very intense 1.5 page essay on the topic because I was bored). </p>
<p>For plankton, there are different types, some of which are producers and some of which are consumers. </p>
<p>For the two processes, I did flagella motion (because I forgot which protein-regarding actin and myosin-was which for muscles) and carrier proteins.</p>
<p>can protein degradation be used for the regulation of proteins frq?</p>
<p>^Yes. 10char</p>
<p>Is regulation of cell cycle a part of “regulation of protein synthesis and protein activity”? I hope it is lol.</p>
<p>Not sure about the goldfish and the salmon, but the plankton and shark should be okay.</p>
<p>I also put increased respiratory rate (due to decreased levels of dissolved oxygen, yes?) but I combined it with heart rate, I thought they were too similar to separate… don’t remember what I put for the second. </p>
<p>I also did muscle contraction and glycolysis.</p>
<p>As for evidence of evolution, I did comparative embryology and gel electrophoresis, but I’m thinking the latter is way too big of a stretch. Why can’t I think on these exams? :P</p>
<p>My hand wasn’t working with me (had a case of the “slows”)…i really hope i wrote enough and “defined” to the extent that they want</p>
