<p>I only went over what I thought was the most important/confusing. I hope the exam isn’t this hard, or else I have some major studying to do o.o</p>
<p>Also, my teacher believes one of the FRQs will be over tsunamis/hurricanes and their economical/environmental effects. She came to this conclusion because Hurricane Katrina and a Thailand Tsunami struck the same year these exams were being made.</p>
<p>The list definitely helps and all the laws are at the end. I still think there are more than 118 terms for this test so I’m also going to use my PR book too. </p>
<p>Ugh wish I had more time for this test especially since I’m self studying :(</p>
<p>Someone please answer this- How are hurricanes/tsunamis formed and what are the economical/environmental effects? Just in case it is indeed one of the frq’s.</p>
<p>When trade winds blow over very warm ocean water, the air warms and forms an intense, isolated, low-pressure system, while also picking up more water vapor from the ocean surface. Wind will circle around the isolated low pressure air area. As the low pressure system moves over more warm water, it increases in strength and wind speed; this will eventually form a Tropical Storm. </p>
<p>A tsunami is usually created as a result of an earthquake. The 2004 tsunami was created when a fault line slipped 15m along the subduction zone where the India plate is subduccted under the Burma Plate. </p>
<p>An economical effect of a tsunami/hurricane would be the reconstruction required after the tsunami/hurricane destroyed an area. </p>
<p>An Environmental impact would be the destruction of habitat. For example, barrier islands or coral reefs are the first hit by offshore storms and they act as a buffer for the shoreline behind them.</p>
<p>hey guys i dont really understand difference between El Nino and La Nina and what their effects are to the environment. </p>
<p>steps are filtration first (take out the big waste using like a net) / secondary treatment(use microbes to clean the nastiness), then use chlorine, ozone, uv to disinfect. correct me if i’m missing a step</p>
<p>Answer any of these questions please
1)Why is the approximate efficiency of conversion of light energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis only 1%?
2)-Which of the following statements about genetic diversity is true? (Answer is B, buT WHY IS IT A??)
A) Genetic engineering technology is used to increase genetic diversity by creating new species with synthetic genes
B) Genetic resistance to pests and diseases can be increased by crossing a crop plant with ancestral varieties
3) What the heck is the LD-50 dosage level?</p>
<p>Not sure about the rest, but I know LD-50 means Lethal dosage 50%.
It simply means it will take ____ doses of (insert toxin) to kill 50% of a certain species.</p>
<p>So let’s say it would take one milliliter of a certain pesticide to kill 50% of the pests on a farm.</p>
<p>I just think it adds a lot of stuff that our class didn’t use that much. The REA book had the vocab which showed up on the MC</p>
<p>as for the FRQ, as long as you talk about “educating citizens” and “Endangered Species Act” you basically have a 5. Our teacher says you can BS yourself through FRQ w/ that</p>
<p>every year we have about…130 taking the exam and our schools exam avg is a 3.97 </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>so he may be right…but you only need 50% right for a 3</p>
<p>if anyone has an practice exams (questions and answers, or just answers) please send them to me at <a href="mailto:makeseansure@gmail.com">makeseansure@gmail.com</a>. I have the 2009 AP Audit exam that I’m willing to share.</p>
<p>For anyone who has taken the 2003 released exam, what did you think?? I got 75/100 on the multiple choice, but the free response was killer. That graph thing was insane. It took me like 5 minutes just to figure out part A. It’s reassuring that you only need around 90/150 for a 5 and 80 or less for a 4, but still. Hopefully this year’s exam is easier.</p>
i think at least</p>
