That’s one of the best I’ve heard.</p>
<p>Another one, in regards to the size of the Y chromosome, by a female teacher, well-regarded:</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s pathetic, isn’t it?</p>
<p>Q1: What’s degradative method?
Q2: What’s reciprocal transformation? I highly doubt it is a math term here.
Q3: How important is biological diversity? I can hardly memorize the characteristics among glomeromycota, foraminifera and Echinodermata. What are some of the most frequently tested phyla?
Q4: Plants without cambium are predominantly
a) nonflowering
b) annuals
c) deciduous
and why?
5) Is secondary growth in plants only increases the girth of the stem or both the stem and the root? Do monocots have secondary growth?</p>
<ol>
<li>Degradative, or a catabolic metabolic pathway, is the breakdown of large macromolecules for energy. The prime example of degradative pathways is aerobic respiration.</li>
</ol>
<p>Can someone explain 5’-3’ reading and stuff?</p>
<p>^: the polymerase can only read the DNA/RNA from 5’ to 3’. </p>
<p>How is plasma transport system utilized in endocrine system?</p>
<p>Sorry for not answering your question (haven’t covered it yet).</p>
<p>I’m doing classification. Cliffnotes gives you a variety of groups for protista and fungi like Rhizopoda, Dinoflagellates, Lichens etc. Does anyone know to what extent we need to know these? Barrons only says that you need to know things like “amoeba move by pseudopods” as opposed to Cliffnotes complete definition of Rhizopodas. I’m not sure how much I can absorb from the classification chapter. (Both Barron’s and Cliffnotes agree you need to know the major phyla of Animalia, so I’m studying that)</p>
<p>How important are names for this exam? For instance, would I have to know who Griffin, Hershey and Chase, and Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty are? Do I even have to know what experiments they did?</p>
<p>^ My teacher said we should know them for the exam. She emphasized that quite a bit.</p>
<p>Thanks xxxrunning on empty. What about the labs? I only did 1 of them. Should I just read over them and have a general idea about them or should I memorize them?</p>
<p>I would think that the names + experiments you could site in an essay.</p>
<p>When mifune gets off his Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford intoxication hopefully he’ll start responding again.</p>
<p>I saw a post a while ago about a website where we could virtually do the labs online does anyone remember it?</p>
<p>Based on a combination of looking through pasts tests and the curriculum, you should know the the experiments and scientist.</p>
<p>Griffith’s Experiment - was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation. </p>
<p>Hershey + Chase - they performed an experiment in E. Coli and by using radioactive phosphorous isotopes, confirmed that DNA was the genetic material.</p>
<p>Avery–MacLeod–McCarty - proved that DNA is the substance that causes bacterial transformation. They purified chemicals from the heat-killed S cells to see which ones could transform live R cells into S cells. They discovered that DNA alone from S bacteria caused R bacteria to become transformed.</p>
<p>As far as labs go, do we need to know the basis of each one?</p>
<p>Will there be MC on that?</p>
<p>^ There will be some MC on some of the labs.</p>
<p>Here is the 2008 test if anyone wants it.
[2008</a> AP Biology Practice Exam.pdf](<a href=“File sharing and storage made simple”>http://www.mediafire.com/?m4ktnyzzmbt)</p>
<p>Excellent, thank you!</p>
<p>Thanks but that is the 2008 AUDIT not the exam ADMINISTERED in 2008 there is a diffrence that most peopel dont realise they are two diffrent tests!</p>
<p>Hey, did anyone stumble upon this website: [Free</a> Online MIT Course Materials for High School | AP Biology | MIT OpenCourseWare](<a href=“http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/hs/biology/biology/index.htm?]Free”>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/hs/biology/biology/index.htm?) I was just looking around for some preparation because I am too lazy to read a book or cliffs and maybe not so much for doing it on the computer, but when I found this website I was disheartened. The questions or exams are insanely difficult and they are just introductory courses and are relevant videos to the AP Curriculum. The difficulty could result from the fact that the videos and courses are from MIT but it could also be standard for most colleges which will frighten me. So what do you guys think it is?</p>
<p>My teacher knows absolutely nothing about AP Biology so i have used the videos from that website to help understand a few things. </p>
<p>Basically, the class in the video is not studying for an AP Test and therefore it includes alot of information that we don’t know. I don’t recommend using the worksheets because they are much harder than the AP exam. However viewing the lectures will still give you a more “whole” [lack of a better word] understanding of the concepts. </p>
<p>Read Cliffnotes. Its good for you.</p>
<p>What factors can contribute to the denaturation of a protein?</p>
<p>^ Heat and PH are the ones I remember.</p>
