<p>For the plants bending, that’s an example of photo tropism. However, that wasn’t an option, so I said the one about more heat near the window (assuming that more sunlight = more heat).
I may have said something about the respiration for the mountain one. I was stuck between that and it getting too much sunlight or something. Looking back, it’s probably the latter.
The one with the altitude is more red blood cells.
I agree with the sensory neuron for the gallbladder.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the marsupial one?</p>

22

<p>What did you guys put for the gene flow, gene drift, natural selection, ect part?</p>

23

<p>For the question where there was a picture of two different crab species I believe, what was the answer to as how they were different species or something? I put the density of the sand</p>

24

<p>I know I didn’t use gene pool for that part. Positive I used natural selection.</p>

25

<p>The choices were:</p>

<p>Mutation
Natural Selection
Gene flow
Gene Drift
and one more?</p>

26

<p>Maybe… succession? Random Mating?</p>

27

<p>Yea, the last one was random mating. Do you guys remember putting down natural selection, gene flow, and gene drift as the answers?</p>

28

<p>I put gene drift and natural selection but not gene flow. Pretty sure I may have used mutation and random mating as well, if there’s 4 questions.</p>

29

<p>I think there were three questions. I remember putting genetic drift, natural selection, and mutation (not in that order). I could be wrong.</p>

<p>The Rat thing IS CUTTING THE MOTOR NEURON I AM SURE 100%.
Help with this
Today I think I did well on my BIO SAT2; however, I am very worried because I left thin small marks on the answer sheet next to the number of each question I wanted to double check and I forgot to erase the marks. Someone told me that as long as they are very small and away from the bubbles the Machine will not detect them, but we all know that the SAT directs us NOT TO LEAVE ANY STRAY MARKS.
HELP PLEASE</p>

31

<p>I feel it’s a good thing the general consensus is “tough” on this one. It always feels better to have a more lenient curve!</p>

<p>Other than that, I actually didn’t find it that difficult. There were some questions I had no clue about biology-wise but which got fairly easy when you exerted some logic on them.
For instance, in the M section (which I took) there was an experiment in which you had to know with which substance out of five the relationship of one human to another human could be studied best. I took the COXCT (or whatever it’s called) because the table provided me with the information that the greatest differences between the two homo sapiens were found in the genes related to said COXCT, so I presumed that would be the correct answer choice. Anybody got the same answer? :-)</p>

<p>I’m really curious about the results of this test will bring.</p>

32

<p>@talvore: you sure? Only thing I remember about that question is that at the time of taking the test I felt it wasn’t really about the rat’s muscle activity, which is why I took “cutting sensory neurons” if that was an eligible answer choice for the question, I don’t remember it all that well.</p>

<p>Btw I wouldn’t worry too much about your bubbles: the machines used by the collegeboard are designed to detect 0,5cm circles, not stray marks. As long as you bubbled in the actual answer circles “darkly and completely” (you know how the saying goes) you should be fine. I suspect the average SAT test is bubbled far more accurately than would be necessary anyway. Here’s what I would do: call the Collegeboard and find out.</p>

33

<p>Yes I am sure, 100%, because I got the same question in my Anatomy book the very same question with the same answers as well.</p>

34

<p>guys, I think they recycled the jan 2012 test. lots of answers here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/1281627-jan-2012-biology-e-m-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/1281627-jan-2012-biology-e-m-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

35

<p>Was the diagram with the HUGE chain a lipid?</p>

36

<p>yep… it had 2 long chains of fatty acids!</p>

37

<p>HI!!! about the rat question I dont think so it will be sensory neurons bcs it was talking about ‘stimulus’. Gall Bladder isn’t itself a receptor so the sensory neurons shouldn’t be playing any role. I think it should be motor neuron bcs any stimulus whose target organ is gall blabber, would generate impulse that will pass through a relay and sensory and blah blah but eventually will have to pass through motor neuron, to reach gall bladder.</p>

<p>For the plant leaning towards the window, I said it was because the cells on the opposite side were more elongated. I was looking for photo tropism too, but it wasnt there. The cell elongation/auxin was in the PR so…yeah</p>

<p>omg they really recycled the test! many questions are the same.</p>
