@iwanttogetintocollege I don’t think so… But my teacher talked about the FRQs in class today, so if anybody has any doubts, let me know!

I’m such an idiot I hate myself lol I hope I get a 4, for the mutualism and parasitism one, I forgot they were separated!!! I’m screwed

@latiere Did lap94 increase or decrease osmolarity and why?

@horsesizedduck She didn’t answer directly, but the lap94 are more effective in osmolaric concentrations of water, so I think increase… I’m at school so I’ll be elaborate later

@horsesizedduck it had to increase oscmolarity because the mussels would lose water to there outside environment as salinity increases therefore if it increases osmolarity the mussels will lose less water because it will become an isotonic environment

@Chrysanthemum14 but the roots decreased in mass so how could they have grown?

@BOBROSS yeah I thought it was the stem

It was the leaves… I think I put 0 because I was unsure… idk

@lucasxia01 it was leaves for which answer?

@BOBROSS he is saying it is the answer for part a for number 3 but I don’t think it is because you can see the greatest increase for the stem

Man i put roots and then i look at it for like 5 minutes today and I realized it was the stem. FeelsBadMan.

Wow that sucks but it was a hard graph to interpret so I’m sure loads of people probably put roots too so you’ll be fine.

Reasoning other than human error for the lack of eDNA findings?

@teiluuuj That one tripped me up for a bit, but my reasoning was that because a lot of eDNA is found in the river, and the carp is found in the river, some eDNA could have flowed from the river into the lake. The site in the lake where the eDNA was found is also close to a mouth of the river, so that’s what made me think that.

For question 8a, what was the reason for the use of the control group for the prolactin test?

@blue1artic Its to show whether prolactin levels changed when under exercise. Its basically to allow for a comparison.

@BOBROSS Okay I think I got that, I was worried because I kind of bsed that question.

@blue1artic dont worry about it. If anyone tells you they didnt have to a bs a single question, they are lying lol.

I’m thinking I did fairly decent on the multiple choice (5-6 wrong?) but I didn’t do so well on the FRQ. After looking at the FRQ’s I’m estimating a 30/41. Do you think this is enough to get a 5? Thanks!

looking back on the FRQs i realized how many dumb mistakes i made. praying for a 4 :frowning: PLS AP TEST GODS PLS ^:)^

@peachypo101 i feel your pain.
