Official SAT II Bio Dec

<p>come on people</p>

<p>we need more people posting answers</p>

<p>yes i agree with theonlyone. i hope the curve is like kaplan's or barron's. i completely messed up though. barely studied.</p>

<p>i'm sure the karyotype question was 24, 24, 25</p>

<p>cause we just learned that in class last week ;)</p>

<p>human somatic cells have 22 autosomes + 1 pair of sex chromosomes</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the penecillin question, was it protozoa?</p>

<p>is this thread dead already?
c'mon post some answers people
please</p>

<p>but dont gamates have half of the normal amount of chromoses? So how could they both have 24?</p>

<p>penicillin is isolated from fungus</p>

<p>malaria is caused by protozoa</p>

<p>(those 2 owned me, there goes my 800 GG)</p>

<p>"but dont gamates have half of the normal amount of chromoses? So how could they both have 24?"</p>

<p>what? the original karyotype is 24 chromosomes each (as in 48 chromatids), so gametes have 24 chromosomes aka 24 chromatids. </p>

<p>"penicillin is isolated from fungus"</p>

<p>OMG *** i swear fleming got it from mold... isn't mold a protazoan?</p>

<ul>
<li>AHH **** i was thinking slime mold = protozoa....</li>
</ul>

<p>gametes do have half the chromosome number because they are haploid. for that problem, the haploid number was 24. but i thought there was also a question asking about the amount in a normal cell (diploid) which would be 48.</p>

<p>Wow, this test totally massacred me along with Math 2C and World History. I guess I should have studied or at least taken the tests last year and the year prior while I was actually taking the classes. So who took Bio M and who took Bio E? I took Bio E because I was just slacking today, and I didn't think it was too painful (at least the last few weren't). Does anybody remember how they did on that snake chart (it may have been on the E part, I can't exactly recall right now).</p>

<p>i thought penecillin was from bacteria, no?</p>

</p>

<p>I also thought so...</p>

<p>This test was waaay better than the October exam...at least I knew what was going on =_= the only catch was that I missed quite a few questions because the examinor called time when I just finished the last question (couldn't go back to the previous questions that I skipped)</p>

<p>piaulxing: im pretty sure tht fr the hormone containing iodine, it was thyroid</p>

<p>penicillin is from mold which is kindgom fungi.</p>

<p>"Penicillin was originally isolated from the Penicillium chrysogenum (formerly Penicillium notatum) mold. The antibiotic effect was originally discovered by a young French medical student Ernest Duchesne studying Penicillium glaucum in 1896, but his discovery was ignored by the Institut Pasteur.</p>

<p>It was serendipitously rediscovered in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, who noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue-green mold on a Staphylococcus culture. Fleming concluded that the mold was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth. He grew a pure culture and discovered that the fungus was Penicillium notatum — he later named the bacterial inhibiting substance penicillin after the Penicillium notatum that released it."</p>

<p>for the pictures of the different limbs, what did u put for flying and swimming question?</p>

<p>for flying i put the two wings. for swimming, i put what looked like a dolphin fin. for grasping i put the human hand.</p>

can you post any answers you remember?</p>

<p>which one are you talking about</p>

<p>dun remember any specific ones, post here and i'll remember</p>
