@1234567890 I am pretty sure it is 99 because the question never mentioned glucose, but I could be wrong.
I know it didn’t say glucose, but they also didn’t say it was a large, not-diffusable molecule. So technically speaking, my logic is correct. NYS sucks lol
To add another strange and vague question to the mix, how about the African Violet plant question? It was so vague, th way it said “describe the type of data”. I assumed it meant to write the data you put as the DV in your hypothesis (I put height of the plants), but I put it a little note after my response explaining that there could be other types of data tested, depending on one’s hypothesis.
@J1234567890 That is what I thought as well, maybe I misinterpreted the question, but I think we both could be right on that one
it is natural resources, because the states cannot control the direction the wind heads, but they can control the amount of natural resources they start to use, and stop using
@km23 i put wilted petals and leaves. You’ll get credit for your answer in my opinion
@km23 I put the same answer, we are probably both correct
Its water there though. If there was sugar in there, it would be sugar water, and I thin they would elude ti the fact that it was sugar water. Bottled water isn’t 100%H2O, some of it is just natural things in there, but that doesn’t affect the amount of things flowing in and out of cells. Drinking 100% H2O is super dangerous
was the percentage of c bases 38?
@J1234567890 I didn’t even think of glucose. If you’re correct, than both 99% and 95% could be right, though I think most people put 99%.
but since it said grams, it was most likely indicating mass, typical NYS to suck like that for us and to torture us
I have no idea how I got it and was 99.99% I was wrong but I got 38% as well
I’ve heard that as well. I just wanted to make sure my thought process was correct. I can’t control the state’s decisions, about these questions, though it would be cool if i could
yeah if u think outside the box, u could reach to a conclusion and make a case for your choice, the regents needs to allow people to easily identify which choice is right, and shouldnt involve too much thinking. It should be more about facts rather than thinking
@J1234567890 It might be worth looking into if you get the question wrong, especially if it’s the difference between mastery or something. If your logic is correct, you should tell your bio teacher, not sure what the process is for getting the state involved in something like that.
its only one point^^^^
and theres no discretion on that … many graders grade different tests so like 4 differnet people are looking at your test to prevent misgrading
@“Albert G.” It would really only be worth it if it was the difference between mastery or not, or some other goal you have, like getting over a 95.
I think the answer is 99%. Assuming all molecules have the same weight, if the concentration outside the cell was 97% water and 3% substance A, then we have to assume that the 97% water in the cell and 3% substance B (as specified in the question) would also diffuse.Thus, the concentration inside and outside the cell would be 97% water, 1.5% substance A, and 1.5% substance B; the weight has not changed because there is still 97% water and 3% of substance A and/or substance B. It turns out that water would only diffuse into the cell and cause the weight to increase if the water concentration was higher outside the cell.
Just my thoughts.
I’m gonna try and find him tomorrow and talk to him @km23 thanks
I’m not so upset about losing one point, it’s that i’m losing it for a technically correct answer
