<p>Hey so, I was just wondering what you guys think are likely to be the FRQs this year. I'm kinda mad that I didn't get to take last years, because I would have killed 2 of them (the one on proteins and the one on net loss). Oh well. </p>
<p>Feel free to post your opinions, personally I think it is highly likely for there to be one on some form of photosynthesis.</p>
<ul>
<li>One on PS/RSP</li>
<li>I really really really think there will be something on Darwin because it’s his 200th birthday, but the ETS may not have cared about that anniversary at all…</li>
<li>Lab Q, related to 1 of the 12 AP labs we’ve done.</li>
</ul>
<p>And such…</p>
<p>my teacher always chooses labs to focus on during review time in class because he’s positive one of them will be the lab question, and the one that actually appears on the exam has been in his top three lab choices for four years in a row. this year, he’s telling us to know lab #1, lab #2, and lab #11 from the lab manual like the back of our hand, and just study his other four considerations. as for the other FR’s, i have no idea.</p>
<p>That’s cool, I didn’t know it was Darwin’s 200th birthday. </p>
<p>Yeah, I’m self studying Bio, although I am in Biotechnology, which surprisingly our class learns more about Bio related topics than the AP Bio class at our school (granted, they know a little more about plants, but that’s just cause of their coloring book). We’ve done a good number of the AP Bio labs, although not all of them.</p>
<p>my teacher is placing big money on Hardy Weinberg.</p>
<p>ihateapbio - there will always be an essay on a lab. Always.</p>
<p>Zens - I really hope that there’s a Hardy-Weinberg question.</p>
<p>Thanks, mjang. Will probably study more of #1, 2, & 11.</p>
<p>I would LOVE Hardy-Weinberg questions!! :)</p>
<p>A Hardy Weinberg question would just be about their 5 laws of equilibrium, right?
Which are:
<p>Don’t kid yourself. Those are the five requirements, but they would definitely ask for some calculations.</p>
<p>The 5 requirements would be necessary for explanation, but I’m sure 2 out of 3 parts will be calculations and explaining their significance.</p>
<p>ok… then the stuff i listed above plus the p+q=1, and the p^2+2pq+q^2=1 equations?</p>
<p>So assuming that there is one frq on hardy-weinberg, and one on a lab. Then would there also be one on animals and one on plants?</p>
<p>Plants was last year, they wouldn’t repeat it.</p>
<p>They’ll probably do another plant question, they love plants!</p>
<p>motivated_101 - Hardy-Weinberg is lab #8, so that would most likely be the lab question.</p>
<p>Zens - they do a plant essay every year, according to Cliffs. However, they did lab 8 on the 2006 exam and on the 2008 form B exam.</p>
<p>^ oh. I guess thats i sign i should review my labs…
so, would you guys say this is a very likely option for the frqs:
<p>NOT plants.
Last year both questions were on plants.</p>
<p>This is taken directly from CliffsAP:</p>
<p>“One of the questions is taken from Area I (molecules and cells), one from Area II (genetics and evolution), and two from Area III (organisms and populations). One of the four questions also evaluates your ability to design experiments or to anaylze experimental results.”</p>
<p>i agree, plants are almost always on. just different plant subjects.
my teacher’s betting on photosynthesis this year… who knows.</p>
<p>The most probable photosynthesis essay would involve a comparison of photophosphorylation to oxidative phosphorylation.</p>
<p>My teacher is willing to bet that we’ll have a FRQ on the circulatory system, knowing the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs etc…since it hasn’t been asked in an essay in a VERY long time.</p>
