<p>How did you guys find it? I thought it was pretty hard. I hope the curve is nice: maybe a 70 for an 800? Haha, I'm probably dreaming though!</p>
<p>Remember, no actual discussion of questions until noon EST.</p>
<p><em>bump</em></p>
<p>Just making sure this doesn't get lost in the crowd.</p>
<p>hm I thought it was okay but I did get at least 5 wrong though. I don't know what the curve is, 70/80 is still an 800? That would be nice if it were true.</p>
<p>no one else took this?</p>
<p>okay so let's discuss the questions</p>
<p>for the plants thing in the tube, what was the reason one took more water? roots or leaves?</p>
<p>mine was postponed indefinitely b/c of weather. where there a lot of dna/mitosis/meiosis q's on the core section?</p>
<p>leaves... because two examples had the same amut nof leaves, same amoutn of water gone, except one had a bigger stem with more roots, so the root one was wrong.</p>
<p>I also took the test today, I don't think I did as well as I had hoped. Here are some questions I was really unsure of.
-What animal has gills? The choices were grasshopper, crabfish, and others I can't remember.<br>
-I think #3, with the picture of the cell, what structure is common in both prokaryotes and eurkaryotes? </p>
<p>There were a lot more I didn't know, but I can not think of any right now.</p>
<p>I thought the fish (whatever fish) had gills cuz it's only in fish right?</p>
<p>For 3 it's the membrane I believe</p>
<p>Anyone remember the thing about tree rings? Like the cortex or cork or something?</p>
<p>dont prokaryotic cells lack all membrane bound organelles, and also lack a plasma membrane. they have a slime coat.</p>
<p>I put cell membrane (pro and euk have in common) and I can't remember what I put for the gills one, what were the choices?</p>
<p>I also said that prokaryotes don't have nuclear membranes (because they have no nuclei right?)/</p>
<p>For the tree rings, I put vascular cambium. I don't know if that is right though. </p>
<p>For those who did the E section, what was the answer for the zebra/horse question. the choices were 1. white belly 2. similar structure to zebra 3. white legs and two other choices, i can't remember the question exactly, but it was the first question about the zebra/horse.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure bacteria have cell membranes, like all cells do. </p>
<p>What did you guys put for how many nucletides there were for 100 amino acids? 300 or 900?</p>
<p>Oh and about the diagram with the leaf cell, which was the one that helped retain water? I thought it was part of the veins so 4 or 5, but I couldn't tell the difference between them.</p>
<p>i put 300, b/c 3 nucleotide make one codon, but watever, that test was the most freakish thing!!!! *** was with that drawing of the 8 animals and we had to name them. Those questions threw me off so badly!!!! i am so ****ed!!! even though they maybe be easy with a tiny bit of studying. other parts were alright i guess, hoping for 700+, but probably a 630ish.</p>
<p>oh, to answer HOT_Ice question, i red in kaplan that the bigger ones are the xylem and the smaller ones are the phloem, but yeah, i said the smaller ones, the phone which was 4 I think, not sure, gl :)</p>
<p>hmm was 4 the one closer to the outisde or inside? if you remember</p>
<p>Those 8 animal questions were so freakin annoying. What does segmented mean? What was that worm thingy?</p>
<p>QUESTION SETS</p>
<p>Diagram Set
1. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have it: a cell membrane
2. Energy source: mitochondria
3. Packaging and secretion: Golgi Apparatus
(Does anybody know what those bumps at the top of the cell were?)</p>
<p>Biomes Set
1. Low shrubs, few trees: grassland
2. High species diversity: tropical rainforest
3. Mostly evergreen trees: coniferous</p>
<p>MULTIPLE CHOICE</p>
<p>Proteins broken down: Amino acid level in blood rises
Adenine has same quantity as thymine
Squirrels, trees, etc. represent community
Scientific hypotheses must be testable
Inversion: (D), I think. The one with the thick and thin band switched around.
Farmer banging pail: example of conditioned response
Glucose in kidneys: filter out by active transport (I put passive transport!!)
NOT a function of glia: producing neurotransmitters
Uterus lining: progesterone
Division of cells: vascular cambium
Yellow-orange vegetables: vitamin A</p>
<p>Plant Diagram
1. vascular tissue: the tube going through the middle
2. chloroplasts: the crowded layer below the very top layer, and the circles floating around in the middle
3. prevents water loss: the cuticle (I think it was 1)
the thin covering on the outside
4. regulates exchange of gas: the guard cells</p>
<p>Ear Diagram
1. membrane that vibrates: tympanic membrane (leftmost thing you could choose)
2. maintains balance: the looped tubes at the top of the diagram
3. the auditory nerve: (rightmost thing you could choose)</p>
<p>Pea Plants Lab:
1. P: GG x gg
2. F2: some yellow plants exist
3. All F1 plants are heterozygous
4. Best explanation: green is dominant to yellow</p>
<p>Plant Lab:
1. Beaker I proves that evaporation wasnt the cause.
2. Doubling roots does not affect water absorbed (damn
I totally missed this)
3. Leaves cause the difference between II and IV. (missed this too, see above)
4. I cant remember the question about VI, but I think I got that wrong too :(</p>
<p>Animals (with Dichotomous Key)
1. dugesia for picture IV
2. dugesia for closest to earliest animals
3. vespa for belonging to most diverse class
4. II (the spider) for jointed appendages, exoskeleton</p>
<p>Guppy Lab (this was insane)
1. I put cichlids ate more guppies than killifish (I had no clue, just guessing)
2. Breeding period is inherited?
3. If killifish became predator of guppies, then mature guppies will be bigger</p>
<p>ECOLOGICAL</p>
<ol>
<li>Protists were not the ancestors of animals, plants, and fungi (grrr
got this wrong)</li>
<li>Nitrogen fixing legumes reduce need for fertilizer</li>
<li>Spiders use appendages for poisoning, sperm transfer, NOT flying</li>
</ol>
<p>C3/C4 cycle
1. 28 degrees
2. C3 plants become more inefficient because stomates close?
3. Crabgrass utilizes CO2 at a lower concentration.</p>
<p>Zebra (another tough one)
1. I put striped tail as the link between quagga and zebra, but apparently quagga dont have striped tails? Darn.
2. Grevys and Mountain zebra are closest (I think I put that)
3. Quagga are a modification of the plains zebra, not a separate species?</p>
<p>Watershed (a lot of reading
)
1. evapotranspiration in Watershed 1 had lowest percent change
2. NO3 experienced greatest change
3. last question, doesnt prove that fungi absorb more nutrients or something</p>
<p>omg conker how do you remember so much? </p>
<p>I pretty much agree with ur answers </p>
<p>for 3. Mostly evergreen trees: coniferous
are you sure about this? I put this too but then I remembered that it said moderate climate, isn't coiferous kinda cold?</p>
<p>Also for the animals, dugesia for the first one too? are you sure about this?</p>
<p>I got all 3 about the ear wrong :(</p>
<p>Hey, i'm Ty and I know more biology than all of you combined. Pretentious? Yes, I know. If you have any questions just ask.</p>
