Biology 2010 Prep

<p>Prokaryotes are everything but things like bacteria and are specialized with a nucleus and organelles. They are larger and divide through mitosis as stated above.</p>

<p>Eukaryotes are less specialized and formed much earlier in the history of the Earth.</p>

<p>@Indianjatt: It appears that you have the two reversed.</p>

<p>Here is a multiple-choice question pertaining to the distinctions between prokaryotes and eukaryotes:</p>

<p>[ul] [li]Which of the following cellular structures are common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?</p>[/li]
<p>[list] <a href=“A”></a> Ribosomes
<a href=“B”>
</a> Nucleoli
<a href=“C”></a> Chloroplasts
<a href=“D”>
</a> Mitochondrion
<a href=“E”>*</a> Golgi bodies [/ul][/list]</p>

<p>WOW>… I did get them mixed. I can’t believe i didn’t see that.</p>

<p>(A) Ribosomes.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No worries.</p>

<p>Yes, A should be the answer.</p>

<p>As for a question what are three organelle differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?</p>

<p>hey guys!
I’m going to take a swing at this one: </p>

<p>organelle differences:</p>

<p>PROKARYOTES: only have ribosomes; have nucleiod region with “naked” DNA with no histones, their flagella aren’t made of microtubules because prokaryotes don’t have cytoskeletons; also have cell walls and a plasma membrane, but those aren’t organelles…or are they?</p>

<p>EUKARYOTES: have DNA associated with proteins (histones), and practically all other organelles; golgi, lysosomes, peroxisomes, ER, nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuole, mitochondria, cytoskeleton</p>

<p>i guess you would just pick and choose 3.</p>

<p>Alright, here’s another one:
What is the difference between oxidative phosphoylation and substrate-level phosphorylation?</p>

<p>71 days and counting…</p>

<p>@Dalaila007
Oxidative phosphorilation uses the Electron Transport Chain to use the power of H+ ions to power ATP synthase with oxygen being the final acceptor of electrons. (last step of respiration)</p>

<p>Substrate level phosphorilation is what happens in glycolysis. You have ADP and inorganic phosphate and an enzyme comes and puts them together to get ATP.</p>

<p>~8 weeks?!!!?</p>

<p>I panicked when I looked at my calender right now.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, approximately ten. That isn’t much more soothing, but certainly allows some additional study time.</p>

<p>Okay, here is an additional question:</p>

<p>[ul][li]After strenuous exercise, a muscle cell would contain increased amounts of all of the following EXCEPT:</p>[/li]
<p>[list]<a href=“A”></a> ADP
<a href=“B”>
</a> CO2
<a href=“C”></a> Lactic Acid
<a href=“D”>
</a> Glucose
<a href=“E”>*</a> Inorganic Phosphate [/ul][/list]</p>

<p>Its D, right?</p>

<p>Definately, CO2 and Lactic Acid build up as by products of fermentation/respiration, and ADP and Pi are the products you get when you use ATP. Glucose levels go down to be converted into more ATP.</p>

<p>Hey guys, quick question. Feel free to answer this as a quiz, but I need help with this: of the heredity disorders, how many of them should you know and be able to recognize? 5 steps to a 5 has like 15-20 disorders but cliff’s has considerably less. Is it worth knowing them?</p>

<p>Does anyone else feel Campbells is too much for the AP exam?</p>

<p>What do you guys use to study?</p>

<p>What are your study strategies? Which books do you guys use? What is each books’ strengths and weaknesses?</p>

<p>AP Bio is such a broad subject that there are so many possibilities to study from, and Campbells I feel is just verbose and an unnecessary waste of time.</p>

<p>

Yes. It has too much extraneous information that will not show up on the AP Exam.

I’m using Cliffs

Read and understand everything in Cliffs

Cliffsnotes AP

Cliffs is very concise and can summarize a chapter of information from Campbells into just a few pages without leaving out any important information, it’s practice questions are also of similar quality to the ones on the AP exam.</p>

<p>I’d say you should know trisomy twenthy one (downsyndrome), XXY (female characteristics), XYY, and sickle cell.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m using Cliffs, but it’s not enough for the course itself lol.</p>
