December 2010-SAT II Biology E/M

<p>Honestly, I didn’t think this test was that hard so it should be about what it is in the collegeboard book. I might have a biased opinion though since I took AP bio already and I’m a USABO Semifinalist. </p>

<p>Regarding answers, I got diet for the rat question and for the chromosome one I put E.</p>

<p>I was going to put E, but didn’t ): now I’m scared since you did USABO lol (I’m not from the U.S. just so you know)</p>

<p>It seems like most people here took M. Did anyone take E like me?</p>

<p>i took E as well.</p>

<p>^what did you think of it? I thought some of the experiment-type questions were pretty difficult. I was expecting more questions on food chains (producer, primary consumer, etc.) and animal behaviour (e.g. imprinting)</p>

<p>I answered all of the questions for M and then looked at the E questions in case those were easier, but then I got to that chart and was like, “F this.”</p>

<p>haha oh yeah. I think I failed that part D: there were so many numbers and it confused me a lot. I only quickly flipped through M after answering all E questions, but I’m glad I still picked E since some of the M questions were going to be guesses for me if I took them.</p>

<p>yeah that wouldve been nice, but i didnt think it was too bad. Just about 3 or 4 iffy questions, but otherwise twas alright.</p>

<p>yeah same maybe about 4-5 iffy questions in the E section</p>

<p>I thought his hypothesis was that plants needed support as well as nutrition to grow…</p>

<p>In the experimental group, the plant DID grow. Meaning his hypothesis was proved wrong because plants are not completely dependent on those nutrients… because it still grew!</p>

<p>Wow I feel silly, I didn’t even see the “leech” option <em>sigh</em> oh well.
Thanks!</p>

<p>^ ah thanks rainbowsprinkles:)</p>

<p>@RainbowSprinkles: the question about bicarbonate ions specifically mentioned their function in regards to blood not extracellular fluid. The best answer is therefore “carrying carbon”.</p>

<p>Any ideas when the scores are coming out?</p>

<p>21st… -14d</p>

<p>@lizcho, no it’s the opposite (hypothesis: plants can grow well without nutrient from live tree-he was proven wrong)</p>

<p>@Blebbing, oh crap. You’re right D: I wasn’t thinking in detail… oh no</p>

<p>Is anyone sending their bio results in January? I am, since I’m re-taking another subject test in Jan and I might as well just wait to send all my subject tests together at once! That way, I can also see what I got on this one before I send it in lol</p>

<p>so about the m0st diverse b10me? is coral reef a biome or not?
and about c1ump1ng: mate or f00d?</p>

<p>@Rainbow sprinkles
Definitely for mates. Coral reef is the most diverse biome (yes, it is considered a biome).</p>

<p>^yay for the first part. crap for the second D: oh no…</p>

<p>Blebbing Im sure bicarbonate ion is a buffer . and in the blood it is responsible for carrying CO2 and by doing so regulating blood PH. Was CO2 one of the answers? If it was, then you might be right but if not then its a buffer.</p>

<p>Yeah, bicarbonate ions = buffer, but Blebbing is right about how it carries carbon in blood :(</p>
