<p>wait proteins made with ribosomes in the cytoplasm go _____ and proteins made in ER go ______ again?</p>

<p>I want to sleep, but at the same time I want to discuss the test.XD</p>

<p>free ribosome make proteins that are used in the cell
bound ribosomes make proteins for export</p>

<p>I want to sleep, but I’m waiting to see if teeskim will tell us how the exam was in general (specifically FRQ please)</p>

<p>Everyone: DO NOT FORGET THE STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS!!! Primary, secondary, teritary, and quaternary.</p>

<p>If the FRQs aren’t going to be about any of the body systems, biomes, evolution, or genetics, I’m toast.</p>

<p>There’ll probably be one about transpiration/cellular respiration.</p>

<p>the84thline, have you taken the test already?</p>

<p>fritzitty, Agreed. I just want to know the topics but apparently, it is prohibited or known as cheating. /sigh</p>

<p>thnx but by export do you mean to other cells or just out into the membrane of the cell where it will become an embedded protein?</p>

<p>If the FRQs are on anything related to plants or body systems/reproduction, I’m toast. Also, it would be nice if they avoided photosynthesis as well.</p>

<p>I haven’t taken the test but, and trust me on this, I KNOW my biology and the important concepts in it.
@tigerchild: away from the cell, into the blood. As for embedded proteins, I’m not sure. I know bacteria manufacture proteins for their membranes, but they lack ERs or GAs, so I’d say free ribosomes make proteins for the membrane.</p>

<p>Plants and molecules are the most frustrating for me. The Krebs cycle, Calvin cycle, light reactions, ugh. It looks like a completely different language.</p>

<p>Krebs cycle produces the most CO2, and makes electron carriers for the electron transport chain of oxidative phosphorylation. Calvin cycle makes sugar by fixing carbon and using ATP’s energy. Light reaction breaks water (hydrolysis) and generates a proton gradient which fuels ATP synthase, which makes ATP. This process is called photophosphorylation.</p>

<p>Phosphorylation = making ATP</p>

<p>Hey guys! just checking in, in case some of you guys are scared about not knowing specifics of photosynthesis or cellular respiration… the frameworks say</p>

<p>Memorization of the steps in the Calvin cycle, the structure of the molecules and
the names of enzymes (with the exception of ATP synthase) are beyond the scope
of the course and the AP Exam</p>

<p>Memorization of the steps in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, or of the structures of
the molecules and the names of the enzymes involved, are beyond the scope of the
course and the AP Exam.</p>

<p>I would still know what goes in and out… but don’t expect it to ben an FRQ!</p>

<p>Maybe its just me, but does this version of the test seem a lot easier than the stuff from the previous years?
Anyways good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I’m guessing you’re going to score a 5 on this. lol
It sucks that the FRQs will be 50% of your total score, tbh.</p>

<p>Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group to any protein/molecule. Phosphorylation is involved in the formation of ATP, but it can also be used for activating enzymes, tyrosine-kinases, etc.</p>

<p>hobbithopeful, where’d you find this out at? Can you direct me to a link so I won’t have to go over EVERYTHING? Thanks!</p>

<p>Good luck on the exam everyone! Think happy life-loving thoughts because in 24 hours the pain is over!</p>
