<p>Since the other booklet was for your notes, I’m sure they’ll take everything into consideration. I also made sure to look for something that would say something like “responses in margins would not be considered” and I didn’t find anything saying that.</p>
<p>Also, I didn’t use the other booklet for notes, but rather wrote my notes around the questions in the response booklet… I hope I don’t get marked off or anything…</p>
<p>Nothing says that you have to make your notes in the green booklet. That is only there for you to read the questions in the 10-minute reading period, and come up with quick outlines/frameworks for your answers (i.e. pre-planning). I made notes in the green booklet AND in the response booklet as I was working. Especially on the genetics problem, because I was writing out the crosses.</p>
<p>OH the reaction would take place twice as fast? I didn’t know how to calculate reaction rate and on the graph, I just drew a prediction line with a faster reaction rate but not one that was twice as fast.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot Uni, but I was wrong to put equilibrium then. At the moment I was thinking that the enzyme reacted with the starch, so the reaction reaches equilibrium where the enzyme and starch are getting turned into maltose as fast as the maltose is being degraded back to enzyme and starch…</p>
<p>But in the last part of it, I described how enzymes work (correctly) and realized that I COMPLETELY pretty much contradicted what I just said about the enzyme reacting with starch. I already wrote out the whole response by that point though… oh well, I hope they are forgiving … at least I hit some points correctly :D</p>
<p>I think I’m gonna stop going on this thread before I seriously get a panic attack.</p>
<p>Whatever points you originally earned, you will lose for contradicting yourself. :(</p>
<p>Also, I’m not POSITIVE that the reaction will take place twice as fast. That’s what I assumed, thought, and wrote, and now it’s what I HOPE. lol</p>
<p>I know what you mean, I was feeling extremely confident about my responses until I read other peoples’… LOL</p>
<p>Take what I say with a grain of salt. As I said before, i had no idea how to calculate reaction rate. Can someone teach me? :)</p>
<p>@JFetrov, woo, that’s what I put. Put that the target cell of insulin was the liver. Sounded weird though cause the liver is an organ. o.O</p>
<p>@SeekingUni, haha yeah. I have no idea on part C of number one.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to 1c?</p>
<p>1C: I put that like steroid hormones cross the plasma membrane, while protein hormones use an active site. Or something like that. o.O</p>
<p>I guessed the rate would occur twice as fast, but I also considered 1.5x as fast since there are two variables and you’re only doubling one.</p>
<p>For the enzyme FRQ, if you double the amount of enzymes then the starch solution would be converted into maltose twice as fast than without the doubling effect of the enzymes. Since there is a limit of how much starch there is in the solution, there would come a point when there is barely any, if at all, starch left for the enzymes to break down into maltose, therefore, the maltose concentration would stay nearly the same as time continues on and the enzymes are catalyzing nothing. </p>
<p>Anyways, that specific FRQ almost became my deathbed. I originally thought that there was not enough enzymes bonded to the substrates, and thus after 30 minutes the reaction rate slowed down. On the contrary, it is how much maltose was present after the enzymes catalyzed the substrates, so the maltose concentration pretty much stayed the same after 30 minutes.</p>
<p>I am pleased that what I put down as my final answer was pretty much whatever everyone else had. =)</p>
<p>whoah, thank god i had form a for the frq’s or i would have been really screwed!</p>
<p>^ LMAO I just looked at Form B (quick ref for others: <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board). If those would have been our questions, I would have cried, and received no points.</p>
<p>contradicting yourself is the only way to loose points…
ElemenoPQ , They will remove the points if they see it</p>
<p>LMAO, if I had form B, I’d be ****ing my pants.</p>
<p>TY form A.</p>
<p>Well does this sound like contradicting? I said the reaction reaches equilibrium but I never said the products degrade back into the reactants (although that was what I was thinking at the time). And they could totally imply that I was thinking that even though I never said that b/c I dind’t define equilibrium/</p>
<p>Although, I believe what I said was that the enzyme reacts with the starch until there was no more starch left. </p>
<p>Then in the last part, I explained how the enzyme increased reaction rate by binding to the substrate etc… so obviously here I came to understand that the enzyme is not reacting with the starch, but helping it turn into maltose. By this time I’m thinking sh** I already wrote a page for the previous part.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I felt like I contradicted myself… but anyway, what kind of points do I lose?</p>
<p>meh. Form B doesn’t look too bad. It’s not NEARLY as easy as Form A (has it ever been this easy?) but it is quite do-able. I could see myself getting a 25 on it.</p>
<p>@spongebob: 2004s FRQs were pretty easy (I did them for practice), except for #4. They were about meiosis, Darwin and his theory of evolution, and a relatively simple interpretation of a chloroplast/light-transmission experiment. The last one, which I couldn’t answer, was about symbiotic relationships between plant root nodules, digestion of cellulose, epiphytic plants, AIDS, and anthrax. The only one I could come up with something for was AIDS. You were supposed to choose four of them to explain. :p</p>
<p>@ElemenoPQ: You only lose points when you contradict yourself for whatever you originally said was right.</p>
<p>For example, if a question is “what are the colors of the rainbow?” and there are 7 points possible (1 for each color), and you say:
The colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Indigo, violet and red are not colors of the rainbow.</p>
<p>Here’s how you would stack up:
+5 for red, orange, yellow, green, blue.
<p>If what you contradicted yourself with wasn’t right in the first place (and thus never earned any points), then you won’t lose points, because you never earned one.</p>
<p>Back to the rainbow example:
If in your answer, you say that the sky is blue, and later in your answer say that the sky is pink, nothing will happen. You wouldn’t have earned a point for saying that the sky is blue (since it doesn’t pertain to the question), and therefore wouldn’t have lost one for contradicting yourself.</p>
<p>I hope this helps. :p</p>
<p>I admit I am still thoroughly confused. If I thought that the enzyme reacted with the starch (I did WRITE the enzyme REACTED with the starch) and then I later realize that the enzyme helps the starch and in the laste part write that the enzyme reacted with the starch by binding to the substrate and blah blah etc., is that still contradicting? </p>
<p>Ahhh not use in worrying about it now, I think I owned the 4th FRQ :D</p>
<p>It seems like you didn’t contradict. All you did was explain the same thing with a bit of additional detail.</p>
<p>Contradiction would be doing what I did for #3, and saying that the genes independently assort and THEN saying that they are linked genes.</p>
<p>Can someone check my post a few pages back. :P</p>
