May 2011 - Biology (E/M)

<p>not really sure to be honest. and i cant even remember what i put for the last few questions of M, i employed NO biology knowledge there, just worked some stuff out in my head. as for the RNA hereditary material, that was viruses (such as retroviruses) and the question with the pictures of the unwound DNA was the top picture, so A</p>

<p>you think they’ll throw out that acid rain one?</p>

<p>@annoyingakash12 I hope so. it didnt make sense and i was really thrown off by that question</p>

<p>Here’s the thing. Photosynthesis is dependent on enzymes. I got it wrong too. I can see how you can saw the lack of dissolved oxygen leads to the plant producing more. Actually now that I think about it the real question is wether the light dependent reactions use enzymes. </p>

<p>Also what was that question where does the photosynthesis part happen (Was it the sugar production) cuz if it was sugar production it was stroma.</p>

<p>I ended up omitting that acid rain question anyway, i was stuck between those two.</p>

<p>no i think it was the thylakoid</p>

<p>Stroma: <a href=“http://www.ftexploring.com/photopics/thylakoid1-50.gif[/url]”>http://www.ftexploring.com/photopics/thylakoid1-50.gif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think for the acid rain. fossil fuel would be the correct answer. But aerosol was a good one to</p>

<p>the question asked where the light reactions took place?</p>

<p>But whatever they were referring to was to the INNER part (called the lumen) The inner part just does a proton gradient. </p>

<p>The carbon reduction reactions, which ultimately produce sugar from CO2, are catalyzed by water-soluble enzymes that are found in the liquid called stroma</p>

<p>OH! If it asked for light reactions, I really don’t know. The choice said inner part of the thylakoid so I was like Wth?</p>

<p>the oxygen one dealt with photolysis, which involves enzymes (i looked it up) but they were never emphasized, like Rubisco is, so i dont know. i put thylakoid, because it think the question asked about light dependent, which is in the thylakoid, while light independent is in the stroma.</p>

<p>what did u guys get for the last ones on M sections? I said that plants and animals diverge. I said that the bacteria has 32? genes that are different. I said that that the difference between the #1 human and #2 human was the one with the most difference between the two. Any thoghts? I am probably gonna end up getting at most 10 wrong… any guesses on the score. Maybe a 730-740?</p>

<p>For the motor/sensory neuron one, isn’t it cutting the sensory one? The question asked which method can be used to test whether or not the release of (something) is caused by nerves, so wouldn’t that mean you have to test if it does without a sensory nerve and with? If you cut off the motor one, then it won’t release the hormone no matter what?</p>

<p>And for the heat/photosynthesis one, isn’t it C4 photosynthesis?
“Photosynthesizes faster than C3 plants under high light intensity and high temperatures because the CO2 is delivered directly to RUBISCO, not allowing it to grab oxygen and undergo photorespiration.”</p>

<p>What about that question where one population was in the sand and one was in the mud?</p>

<p>Was it density or slope?</p>

<p>i said that bacteria and plants both differ by 32 genes, but no necessarily the same ones, and i picked the one with the most differences between the two humans too</p>

<p>its the motor controls gland. I checked that. Don’t think so for c4.</p>

<p>im pretty sure the question asked for lighted dependent. so its thylakoid
and @titration i thought it was the sensory one too!and i dont think its the c4 sorry</p>

<p>@141421356: wait so it’s b/c water absorbs more O2 at higher temp?? Gosh, it makes sense to me now ;_;</p>

<p>@xscubastevex- ok, cool. What about the third to last one with the roman numerals?</p>

<p>Toystory, it was substrate.</p>
