This helps so much! Is there anything else I should know involving chemistry? I didn’t take chemistry or biology before AP biology, so anything a newbie should know before AP that I don’t know will help too.
By math related, are we talking about math questions involving water potential and carbon dating?
Also, is their any good study sites that’ll guarantee to help a lot that you’re using? Are the books you own worth reading? If so, is there certain sections I should focus on?
Hey guys, I’m struggling with AP Bio, very much.
Instead of covering AP curriculum, I think my teacher is covering the whole (damn) Campbell textbook. Meaning we were expected to MEMORIZE all the human parts and blood vessels, neurons, muscles… It felt like a intro to med school. I understand that AP emphasizes evolution, but instead of emphasizing on evolution, I think my teacher emphasizes on memorizing just stuff.
Any tips for succeeding this type of class? Should I just drop this class second semester and self-study with Barron and Cliffnotes?
Got a question guys:
Protein synthesis in prokaryotes is much simpler and faster than it is in eukaryotes. Which of the following would you expect to contribute to faster protein synthesis in prokaryotes?
A. mRNA does not have to cross a membrane.
B. Prokaryotes need proteins more quickly than eukaryotes do.
C. DNA is translated directly into protein in prokaryotes.
D. Prokaryotes use a simpler genetic code than eukaryotes do.
This isn’t anything important, so I hope it isn’t breaking any rules (this isn’t my homework)
Just a question I literally can’t find an answer to on google.
I think the answer is A? @Beshara
Which of the following determines the new petal colors that spontaneously appear in a population of wildflowers?
A. Preferences of mates
B. Geographic isolation
C. Changes in DNA
D. Environmental effects
I’d guess C since it’s asking what determines the new petal colors spontaneously appearing
Does anybody know where the 2015 released MC questions are for AP Bio?
Where are you guys at in the AP Bio curriculum right now? My teacher teaches really slow so we’ve only covered from chemistry to photosynthesis, nervous system, and animal behavior. Scared rn so I plan to self study ahead of the class in order to make sure I go over all the topics AP Bio requires
We’re on unit 3 with studying cells. We did biochemistry, evolution, taxonomy, and animal behavior so far
Alright. Thx! Do you know how detailed we need to go for the kingdoms?
We only did the basics for kingdoms but on the college board website you can check the ap biology guidelines in their pdf.
They weren’t released.
Right now we’re on the evolution unit. We’ve already studied the cell, the transports, and ecology. I never realized until now that my class hasn’t studied most of the textbook’s units. We skipped over biochemistry, respiration, photosynthesis… Not sure if we’re even going to cover those as much as animal/plant functions, genetics, etc.
Right now we’re on respiration and photosynthesis but my test is going to be on the week after that. So far we finished, animal behavior, animal physiology, biochemistry, ecology, cell communication/cell cycle/mitosis, cell organelles/system, and animal reproduction. I’m scared that we are going really fast but at the same time I do feel like that I’m actually learning something.
Right now I’m about to finish chapter 25 (Origin of Life). I might need to study like a chapter each day on the weekends at this rate… Sort of slowing down. My schedule is just going down the Campbell 8th Edition Correlations provided by CollegeBoard.
@robotseatcookies Have to buy a review book for AP Bio. Can’t decide between cliffnotes and barrons. Why do you prefer cliffnotes over barrons? Thanks.
Both the Cliffnotes and Barrons doesn’t seem to be updated to reflect the new redesign which occurred in Fall of 2015. Does it matter that they do? Jumping on BobbyMD’s query above. Thanks for any insights.
Hey I’m starting to self study ap bio. Is it too late? I’m homeschooled so I got a lot of free time on my hands
It’s not too late. You just have to dedicate twice as much time
I really loathe this class lol we’re finishing plants
