**Official AP BIO 2012 Thread**

<p>Like I’ve been reviewing the 11 systems over the past few days… I don’t know how much of it is actually important.</p>

<p>How go is a 73/100 on that AP Biology 2008 Practice Test Audit?</p>

<p>On that 2008 released exam I saw just one question regarding anatomy and that was which part of the brain is used for motor functions. I think any anatomical questions will probably do with reproduction or maybe about the notochord/neural tube</p>

<p>cramthyme, basically just what we covered in terms of systems, like the digestive system (enzymes, intestinal systems) reproductive systems, nervous system (neurons, cns and pns) the endocrine system (hormones) and the circulatory system (blood, fluid) oh and also the excretory system, which is basically just the production of nitrogenous wastes.
Might be missing something here.</p>

<p>@molamola
5 Hours…?
Does that mean you took the ap bio exam already… lol</p>

<p>I got a 74/100 on the 2008 with little studying and my class covering less than half of our textbook, so hopefully I can get a 5 tomorrow. I’m really excited that the curve is so generous, but I’m also afraid of missing a 5 by a few points. :x</p>

<p>There’s a small multiplier for the MC, right? Hopefully like x1.0-1.2 or something?</p>

<p>its actually x about .9</p>

<p>O_O</p>

<p>oh god…</p>

<p>Edit- Wait, so how does the math work out? Isn’t the highest total score you can get 150?</p>

<p>A 65/100 and a 24/40 (pre-curving) is the minimum for a 5. </p>

<p>I wish someone in a future TZ would say how the test went haha.</p>

<p>This is gonna sound weird, but…</p>

<p>Idk about you guys, but I literally just don’t know what to even study anymore… So here’s my idea:</p>

<p>Everyone post ONE Bozeman biology (or someone else who is equally as good) video they feel is about a really important topic, so everyone else can watch. =p</p>

<p>Cheesy, I know, but I’m bored and I don’t know what to choose to watch anymore…</p>

<p>Here’s mine: </p>

<p>[Cell</a> Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis - YouTube](<a href=“Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis - YouTube”>Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis - YouTube)</p>

<p>Cell cycle!! :)</p>

<p>Btw, NO REPEATS! Lol</p>

<p>yes its 100 x .9 = 90
+
40 x 1.5 = 150</p>

<p>ie the MC is 60% weight and frq is 40%</p>

<p>I’m watching all the Lab Videos at the moment.</p>

<p>Since the test is basically AP Botany,
[Plants</a> - YouTube](<a href=“Plants - YouTube”>Plants - YouTube)</p>

<p>i would rather do khan academy, especially on more difficult topics (ie body systems, plant reproduction, viral recombinant DNA)</p>

<p>I compiled these from what I see most on released AP exams/frqs/what my teacher told me. Here you go and good luck </p>

<p><em>anterior pituitary</em> (more, i just put the harder ones to memorize)
LH- induces ovulation
FSH- stimulate ovary
Prolactin- stimulates mammary glands
TSH- stimulates thyroid to produce thyroxin (helps regulate body metabolic rate)</p>

<p><em>produced by corpus luteum</em> (anyone know an easier way to differentiate between the two)
progesterone- promote uterine lining growth
estrogen- stimulate uterine lining growth; promote development and maintenance of female secondary sex characteristics</p>

<p><em>posterior</em>
oxytocin-stimulate contraction of uterine muscles
ADH- reabsorption of water in kidney </p>

<p><em>plant hormones</em>
gibberellins-promote stem elongation
cytokinins-promote cell division (anti aging)
ethylene-promotes ripening, induces leaf abscission
abscisic acid-inhibits leaf abscission and promotes bud/seed dormancy
auxins-promote plant growth and phototropism, apical dominance</p>

<p>^ To add to that, Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is the hormone that stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release all of those hormones.</p>

<p>how to remember anterior pituitary hormones (copied list from ttam110):
LH - lady’s hell - ovulation
FSH - FiSH eggs - stimulate ovary
prolactin - lact- is milk, easy - stimulates mammary glands
TSH - thyroid stomach help - metabolism </p>

<p>well that was embarrassing</p>

<p>oh, and don’t forget phytochromes:
involved in photoperiodism, provokes gibberellins</p>

<p>Way better than the one I made up…haha</p>

<p>llilliann that was great.</p>

<p>Do you have any more mnemonics?</p>

<p>i made that one up on the spot, haha. if you give me a list of things i can do it again</p>

<p>these are the ones i thought of today:
glycolysis - i remember it makes 2 NADH, 2 ATP, and 2 pyruvate because it has 3 sets of 2 letters (L, Y, and S) if that makes sense
NADPH is the electron carrier for photosynthesis - remember bc it has a P in it (stole this from cliffsnotes)
this isn’t a mnemonic but remember the suffix -lysis means break down
phagocytosis - phood!
pinocytosis - liquids (piiii) get it? haha
exocytosis - excrete</p>

<p>anyone know any ways to remember enzymes/substances involved in krebs/calvin cycle (ie RuBP, acetyl CoA, OAA)</p>
