AP Biology FR Predictions! (the real deal)

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>There are too many topics that can be possible questions, and my teacher would tell us the essay topics in advance before the test. . . so right now FRs are the only thing I'm worried about at this point, I just don't know what to really really review . . . </p>

<p>In terms of LABS covered in previous years, with bolded showing what lab it is in the cb lab book:</p>

<p>99 - rate of photosyntheis, changing a variable (we did this but its not in cb's book)
00 - ph and temp effects on enzymes 2
01 - dissolved O2 concentration 12
02 form a - diffusion/active transport 1
02 form b - intensity of exercie vs heart rate 10
03 form a - chi2 lab 7
03 form b - no lab
04 form a - DPIP lab/plant pigments 4
04 form b - dissolved o2 concentrations 12
05 form a - rate of respiration 5
05 form b - diffusion/active transport 1</p>

<p>WHICH LEAVES > > >
lab 9: transpiration
lab 11: animal behavior
lab 6: ecoli transformation
lab 3: mitosis/meiosis
lab 8: pop genetics (but this has been discussed in one question of 2004's FR)</p>

<p>I'm still looking for a pattern in the other FR questions . . . what do you guys think?</p>

2

<p>I hope its 6 or 11..but wasn't animal behavior just on one?</p>

3

<p>For the non-lab q's, I was thinking...speciation (sympatric, allopatric) hasn't been done in a while, has it?</p>

4

<p>speciation would be awesome. but my experience says u cant predict (USH!).</p>

5

<p>wait...the biology ap test is 100 multiple choice and 4 free response essays right? What's this with labs?</p>

6

<p>I didn't find an animal behavior one, but i did find an FR on recombinant DNA aka lab 6.</p>

<p>There are 120 mc and 4 FR, usually 1 FR asking you to design or explain a lab.</p>

<p>Never found anything, not even 1 non-lab FR on transpiration =&lt;/p>

7

<p>barons and cliff says 120MC and spark says 100MC ***?</p>

8

<p>Apparently.. this year there's 100 mc.. Cliffs says 120 because the book was last edited in 2001 or something and at that time, it was still 120 mc... It also says there are 5 kingdoms o.O</p>

9

<p>yay for less questions this year :)</p>

10

<p>Acoelomates/Coelomates have already been discussed in 2002
Plasmids/RFLP analysis/PCR - 2002</p>

<p>Evolution by natural selection,speciation, isolation, kineis, convergent evolution - 2001</p>

<p>Homeostatic Mecanisms - 2003, 2004 form b, 2000</p>

<p>Diversity of life, mutation, polyploidy, bottlenecks etc - 2003 form b</p>

<p>R+ K pops, carrying capacity graph - 2003</p>

<p>CLOSEST THING TO TRANSPIRATION was 2003 form B, role of water in transpiration, homeostasis, carbon cycle, water cycle. . . . not even directly mentioning it. </p>

<p>HMM.</p>

11

<p>There are 100 questions they just recently switched to that. PS Guys don't stress about the essays so much. Look at some of the rubrics! There are 20+ points available and 10 is full credit! You also don't lose points for incorrect/irrelevant information, so just blurt out everything you know about the topic!</p>

12

<p>"It also says there are 5 kingdoms "</p>

<p>For the AP test, how many kingdoms should you assume there are? Which ones?</p>

13

<p>Domains: Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya</p>

<p>Kingdoms: Monera, Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista</p>

<p>Classification order: DKPCOGS</p>

14

<p>100 mc and 80 minutes? Holy <em>, that's a lot of time. *</em>.</p>

<p>Hm...I'd really like the mitosis/meiosis lab essay. It would rock. It's just onion cells, after all.</p>

15

<p>ya i always finish the m.c. early - that is a lot of time for these questions!</p>

16

<p>Well.. monera is actually 2 kingdoms: eubacteria and archaebacteria. But I don't think knowing that is too important.. just know differences between them is sufficient.</p>

17

<p>my teacher thinks its animal behavior with drosophila</p>

18

<p>OH ew, that'd be bad. We didn't do that lab.</p>

19

<p>lol we did, i almost killed the drosophila.
But thats really really easy, so bring it on! Just about heart rate & temperature, lowering temp, effect on heart rate, etc.</p>

<p>Neo Yoyo, its DKPCOFGS, you left out family.</p>

<p>dumb kings play chess on fat green stools</p>

<p>lolz. i'll never forget it.</p>

<p>We weren't taught to incorporate Domain into our mnemonics, though...</p>
