<p>Plant auxins was B (elongation). Why the h*** do I remember that? I do not know, but I do.</p>
<p>I used the PR book to prepare for about 2 months (off-and-on). Everybody here seems to rip on PR for not getting people 700s and above, but I thought it prepared me pretty well. It didn't have tiny details like that muscle-chemical question, but overall, I'd learned what I needed to know to answer about 75 of the 80 questions fairly confidently (of course, confidently doesn't always mean correctly). What'd you guys use?</p>
<p>I used Barrons, but a lot of the stuff on it wasn't there.</p>
<p>Mouse/ gallbladder - sensory neurons or motor neurons?</p>
<p>and what was up about the trees than grew on the slope facing north and shrubs that grew on slopes facing south??</p>
<p>i put motor neuron because it says TO the gallbladder</p>
<p>uh for that one i think i put water evaporates faster</p>
<p>test still aint ez huh? i thot i would get an 800 on the test but got a 770 (june 07)</p>
<p>I really hope the curve is good for this test. mos tpeople I've talked to found it considerably harder than other sittings</p>
<p>troponin-potassium
pine tree-water evaporates faster
gallbladder-sensory</p>
<p>the test was so hard... i'm hoping there's a HUGE curve!</p>
<p>Dang, I don't think I answered the Pine tree question correctly.</p>
<p>And now I can't remember if I changed my answers for the true breeding question and the plant leaning question. Don't you f'ing hate that, when you know you put the right answer but can't remember if you went back and changed it later.</p>
<p>Why was the gallbladder one sensory? That doesn't make any sense to me.</p>
<p>troponin is calcium</p>
<p>yea sensory neurons didnt make much sense to me</p>
<p>Troponin binds with calcium for muscle contraction.</p>
<p>Motor neurons - because they go TO gallbladder, sensory goes from gallbladder to brain, and as long as nothing gets back to gallbladder (hence, motor) then it can't secrete if nerves are what causes secretion.</p>
<p>I used a 2005-2006 edition of PR and it helped me so much. The arthropod question (most diverse, etc. phylum) was almost word for word, as was a bunch of others. And PR stressed that muscle contraction will always involve Calcium, so I barely had to read that troponin question.</p>
<p>That's true; I saw the question on most successful phylums and the Classification page from PR flashed before my eyes (forgot all about calcium, though).</p>
<p>the self-pollination answer was NOT the answer to true breeding, i dont think. but i dont remember what was, lol.</p>
<p>yeah the troponin question sucked...as did the mouse gallbladder one i spent so much time on that and forgot what i put</p>
<p>the only one i left blank was the troponin one...i normally never leave any blank on a test and do well</p>
<p>The true-breeding one was that the parent will always produce offspring with the same phenotype as itself.</p>
<p>oh i wasn't saying those were the right answers, i was just putting the answers i got. Barrons SUCKS! i should've gotten PR!</p>
<p>yes thats the one. and what about the question that said:</p>
<p>"if success of organism had to do with number of organisms and number of types of organisms, which is most successful?"</p>
<p>i put mammals...i think that is wrong.</p>
<p>It was Arthropods (thank you, PR! One page in the PR book actually HAD that question in fact form almost to the word). </p>
<p>So was the pine tree one on two slopes really water evaporation? I put rocky soil because it was the only choice that didn't infer that whether a slope faced north or south had influence over something that it didn't (as far as I knew, anyway. The words North and South never appeared anywhere in the PR book).</p>
<p>D***. I really wish we got our tests back in their entirety instead of just a score; I want to know what I got wrong now, even though it wouldn't change anything.</p>
<p>I left the true-breeding plant question blank.</p>
<p>It was the self-pollination answer. Wikipedia says: True breeding is also used to refer to plants that produce only offspring of the same variety when they self-pollinate. </p>
<p>Ah-hah...</p>
<p>No, it wasn't the self-pollination answer because the wording of the answer was along the lines of, "Plants that ONLY self-pollinate", which is less right (which is weird, but we don't make up these tests) than "Plants that consistently produce offspring with their own phenotype".</p>
<p>It's sad that we're sitting here on a Sunday night before a holiday, arguing about one answer on a test we're not grading and can't do anything to change. Such is the life of a CC brat.</p>
<ul>
<li> There was a I, II, III question about rod fish and another type of fish
maybe L-fish? it was asking what showed that the rod fish were more closely related to something else. anyone remember the answer? </li>
<li> in the e section, there was a question about plants in a greenhouse type thing that said the temperature was raised 5 degrees and the plants produced more oxygen- why was this? Was the answer increased enzyme efficiency?
-there was a question about a biome (in the first 4 q's) about a biome with lush vegetation and something about the top soil, either rich or not... which biome was it?</li>
