May SAT II Biology E/M

<p>I took M and actually found it pretty easy… I guessed flat out on one-- the tree growth question. I know what the right answer is but I don’t remember what I put down! haha I’d probably estimate ~750 but possibly better ???
^</p>

<p>I had no idea about that. I guessed as well</p>

<p>I put A for the ear one also. (Something about a specific membrane vibrating to the sounds)
I knew that the cochlea doesn’t vibrate – the cillia in it do, so I eliminated it.
It wouldn’t seem right for the <em>something</em> membrane to only send impulses when stimulated to a certain pitch, and I eliminated that one also.
I took a semi-blind guess and got A…</p>

<p>What was the female reproductive organ answer?
Was it that menstrulation and ovulation overlap?</p>

<p>: for the carrot question, I think I chose E because it talked about the temperature :S</p>

<p>for that one i said the egg fertilizes in the fallopian tubes, not sure if that’s right though
and did you guys but 0.9 for the tree growth one?</p>

<p>“for that one i said the egg fertilizes in the fallopian tubes, not sure if that’s right though”</p>

<p>that’s what I put. I was pretty sure that it was right because think about it, menstruation happens after the egg has ovulated and been unsuccessful to be fertilized</p>

<p>I can’t believe I didn’t read that the carrots were in black bags. x.x</p>

<p>For the female reproductive system, I think it was that ova are usually fertilized in the fallopian tubes. Another of the choices said “the vaginal lining deteriorates once a cycle”, which is wrong, it’s the uterine lining. And I’m pretty sure ovulation marks a new phase, it isn’t considered menstruation any more.</p>

<p>For tree growth I put 0.9 because trees grow from their branch tips… it was kind of confusing though because they threw a bunch of other numbers at you and I didn’t know if I was falling into a trap.</p>

<p>I just googled the egg question.
And it indeed does fertilize in the fallopian tube. Argh, I remember seeing the same question in my Barron’s book, and it said that the egg fertilizes somewhere else.
I dunno. DANGIT</p>

<p>My AP Bio teacher hit that point (fertilization in oviduct) pretty hard, so I’m thankful for him. And yeah 0.9 was the right answer according to him, I either put that or 6. I can’t remember haha. I sure do hope i put 0.9. 0.9 was E right??? if so I probably put it</p>

<p>Wait, what was the tree question about??</p>

<p>what were the answers to the neuron/synpase/receptor questions in earthworms? I believe there were 4 questions on it.</p>

<p>and also, what were the answers to the cell division/organogenesis questions? It was like this plant that grew under certain conditions: auxin+ and this other hormone.</p>

<p>The neuron thing was pretty easy, you just had to follow the arrows.</p>

<p>the tree question was</p>

<p>a tree is 6 meters tall. a branch falls off and leaves a mark .9 meters from the ground. after however many years (i forgot the number) the tree is 36 feet tall. how far is the mark from the ground now?</p>

<p>and also, what were the answers to the cell division/organogenesis questions? It was like this plant that grew under certain conditions: auxin+ and this other hormone.</p>

<p>^
I said auxin only was cell enlargement.
and that the disease resembled cancer.
and that it was an angiosperm.</p>

<p>was the question about 54 40 settling the US-Canada border?</p>

<p>SORRY WRONG THREAD!
i got my tabs mixed up T__T</p>

<p>SORRY WRONG THREAD!
i got my tabs mixed up T__T </p>

<p>^ I was going to say…I don’t remember a question like that XD</p>

<p>The cell was from a flowering plant. (in the auxin and kenesine? question)
In the intro, it said that the cell was extracted from an embryo from a fruit.
Only flowering plants have fruits.</p>

<p>so for the neuron one did you get A, if neuron n did not work, skin 1 will not receive stimulus? (forgot the exact wording)</p>

<p>and another one that was z,x,y,w,t,etc. (the longest answer?)</p>

<p>no it was that muscle 1 will not receive stimulus</p>

<p>and it wasnt the longest answer for that one</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure all the ones where you listed letters were just three.</p>
