<p>other answer continued:</p>

<p>catalase and hydrogen peroxide problem:
reaction was done-> put more hydrogen peroxide into the system so that more oxygen would be produced (answer)
catalse (enzyme) + H2O2 produces oxygen baby!</p>

<p>After reading all of this I’m pretty sure I only got one wrong and I omitted one. Is that good enough for an 800?</p>

<p>@nwgolfer321
but regulating heartbeat is an involuntary action (u can’t control it)
besides touching a hot stove and jerking sounds more like a reflex to me</p>

<p>What do you think the curve will be???</p>

<p>@nwgolfer321: “The autonomic nervous system (ANS or visceral nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.[1] The ANS affects heart rate, digestion, respiration rate, etc.”</p>

<p>fom wiki:</p>

<p>The autonomic nervous system (ANS or visceral nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.[1] The ANS affects heart rate, digestion, respiration rate, salivation, perspiration, diameter of the pupils, micturition (urination), and sexual arousal. Whereas most of its actions are involuntary, some, such as breathing, work in tandem with the conscious mind.</p>

<p>as much as it is a unconscious thing to do, pulling back your hand is still “voluntary”</p>

<p>That is what I originally put too. But I SWEAR it said in my pr book that sensing a hot surface before you actually touch it is part of the PNS</p>

<p>i think
WE
Are
Bringing
Down
the stupid
SAT
Bio
Test
To
Hell!!!1</p>

<p>Autonomic nerovous system: Symphathetic division which is fight or flight.
and the Parasympathetic division which is resting and digesting.</p>

<p>^^agreeeed!!!</p>

<p>yet another answer:</p>

<p>the blood type question:
Can a child have a O blood type when the parents are either

  1. AB & AB
  2. A & A</p>

<p>1 is false 2 is true cuz in terms of alleles they are Ai and Ai and since blood type O is ii, it can happen</p>

<p>I have 1 to add it was about attaching a new plant to a tree that was 1.5 metres high. Then 2 years later the plant grew X metres. How far away is the tree now from the ground? I thought the answer was like C. 1.5 metres because the tree does not grow from its roots? is this right?</p>

<p>Oh another 1 was about which ones are correct about cellular respration and energy i forgot the actual wording but the choices were like I. Sunlight + CO2 –> Energy , II. ADP + Pi = ATP and III. i forgot.
Anyone remember???</p>

<p>i wish there were questions about male and female genitilia
i would of aced it</p>

<p>o yea i agree with u about the blood one but what about the other choices there was a OxO also?</p>

<p>Yeah it’s 1.5m because trees grow from the top.</p>

<p>yes.
Ai,Ai and
O,o.</p>

<p>guyz the question about birth control pills,i think that it prevents ovulation,what did u make it?</p>

<p>Eye diagram:
1-Area around pupil controls light entering eye</p>

<p>2-The nerve exiting eye is part of the nervous system</p>

<p>3-The circular structure right behind the cornea focuses light onto the retina</p>

<p>Light spectrum:
4-Violet light is the highest energy one we can see</p>

<p>5-UV can cause mutations</p>

<p>6-Green is what chlorophyll can’t use</p>

<p>w00t thx u guys rock</p>

<p>peter, was that last one on ecology?</p>
