June SAT Biology E/M Pre/Post Test

<p>And I think the scientists would be worried about food…isn’t a change in prey peak times detrimental to the development of the birds, which would be detrimental to the whole population? That they should worry about…</p>

<p>^ yeah I think so. And if the migration pattern didn’t change from 1995 to 2000 or whatever, why would change in the near future? I don’t think it would be consistent with the data… but I don’t know. It all depends on how CB interprets it :/</p>

<p>@catcat yeah that’s definitely a possibility, I think that’s what I meant lol</p>

<p>best case scenario: 5 wrong
worst case: 7 wrong</p>

<p>appox. what do you guys think my score will be?
hopefully the curve is at 4 questions…</p>

<p>I didn’t really understand the fetus question, couldn’t both the 30ug and the over 150 ug thing both work?</p>

<p>watson and crick described the structure of dna
or at least thats what i put im fairly certain…</p>

<p>I thought this test was harder than normal, so I’m hoping for an easier curve. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Some curves are -7 = 800
Some are much harsher. </p>

<p>I don’t know where this fits. Is it really normal for CB to test so much on plants?</p>

<p>@jeff yeah watson and crick, with the help of Rosalind Franklin’s x-ray crystallography pictures, discovered the model of DNA.</p>

<p>@ computer geek: that was an actual question for M?! It was straight out of PR! Maybe I should have taken M, heh heh…</p>

<p>I took M so I don’t know which of these were M questions, someone who took E can sort it out</p>

<ol>

<li>(Picture with 3 seed experiments) - 4 seeds on a moist petri dish = gravity</li>
<li>(Pic with 3 seed experiments) - plant propped up by stick = touch</li>

<li>Proteins do NOT have the function of acting as a template for mRNA</li>
<li>Tickbird eats parasites from the cow = Mutualism</li>
<li>One answer had Comensualism (I think with a whale? Comensualism is one animal benefitting and the other being neutral)</li>
<li>Next step for N2 is nitrogen fixation</li>
<li>Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration produce ATP (I, II, III type question)</li>
<li>Only photosynthesis creates oxygen </li>
<li>Only cellular respiration oxidizes glucose</li>
<li>Fungi are both parasitic and decomposers (not autotrophs)</li>
<li>Flu/Influenza is a virus</li>
<li>Blood sugar levels = homeostasis</li>
<li>Angiosperms are different from vertebraes in that they can do asexual reproduction</li>
<li>Mendel was the first person to see genetics quantitively</li>
<li>Two organisms in the graph where one dies off occupied the same ecological niches</li>
<li>Plant hormones (wrong answer: electrical signals)</li>
<li>Leukocytes do NOT produce hemoglobin</li>
<li>Which is a possible DNA structure was the one with 5’ ends on top right and left with 3’ ends on bottom right and left</li>
<li>Water has cool properties because of polarity/unequal share of electrons among its atoms</li>
<li>Scientist consensus is that burning fossil fuels caused CO2 increase over the years</li>
<li>50% offspring = polydactyly</li>
<li>Photosynthesis equation questions - either 18O or O can be used by plants successfully</li>
<li>Kids below 5 were affected by the disease for a longer period of time</li>
<li>How closely related two certain species are could be confirmed by DNA sequencing (I think?)</li>
<li>Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA</li>
</ol>

<p>Some random bits that I picked up while compiling/remembered but either don’t remember from the test or am unsure of the correct answer…</p>

<p>Phosphorous cycle (detergent, doesn’t go to the atmosphere, something about rocks, create new organisms in animal diversity in water) - What’s correct?</p>

<p>molecule left after digestion? - Don’t remember this</p>

<p>nail stayed in the same place in the tree bc it was apical meristem/ vascular cambium? - What’s correct?</p>

<p>graph was showing dots saying re-absortion of fetus % vs DEC amount? - Is this right?</p>

<p>someone who lost his eyesight? (blindness mutation was favored?) - Might be an E question</p>

<p>gaps in the fossil record due to adaptive radiation/geographic isolation? (short rapid changes followed by staying the same?) - I thought this was the answer that went something like: gaps in the record are due to rapid adaptations followed by periods of relative stability, aka periodism?</p>

<p>corn oil in the mice with DEC question - control? nutrient source? - What’s the answer?</p>

<p>mouse and sea lamprey’s hemoglobin differ? - Might be an E question</p>

<p>what adaptation did plants have to make to become terrestrial? (one answer was stomata; the question was worded weirdly though; maybe it was a “not” question? I remember thinking stomata was NOT the answer because “they still have stomata”) - What’s the answer?</p>

<p>what adaptation did reptiles have over amphibians - Don’t remember this; E question?</p>

<p>why would scientists worry about the birds? - E question?</p>

<p>protein’s monomers are amino acids? - Don’t remember this</p>

<p>iodine deficiency = thyroid goiter - E question?</p>

<p>example of directional selection = larger beaks - E question?</p>

<p>caterpillars were an example of? (interdependence, niche partitioning) - E question?</p>

<p>M section with the photosynthesis reaction - water breaks into oxygen? (question was what conclusion can be determined from the reactions) - What’s the answer?</p>

<p>For the last couple photosynthesis questions on the M, I think one showed that both O and O18 could be used and other I don’t remember very well (something about being incorporated into something)</p>

<p>Altruism was an answer for very first set. </p>

<p>Something question about trisomy in there too, can’t remember the answer.</p>

<p>I think stomata was the answer? </p>

<p>Wasnt there an incomplete dominance answer as well for the red and white flowers making a pink one?</p>

<p>The reptile development was the amnion.</p>

<p>^
Altruism - squirell
Trisomy 21 - from nondisjunction</p>

<p>And another question about protein and cell membrane interaction.</p>

<p>Fluid Mosaic Model?</p>

<p>I forgot all about the fluid mosaic model? Do you guys know what the answer is? </p>

<p>I know one option was that it’s made of lignin. Another is that the proteins are stationery. Another is that the proteins extends through the membrane. I forgot the other two options,</p>

<p>Extends through membrane what I put</p>

<p>^Same here.</p>

<p>What about the question about monkeys and humans and the 3 million years or whatever? What’d you guys put?</p>
