photosynthesis on sat bio???

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>photosynthesis is only discussed in barrons, not in PR or sparknotes. so should i bother reading over this?? haha i just started reading fo bio and am pressed for time, so please help</p>

2

<p>i think it would be safe to know photsynthesis.</p>

3

<p>Photosynthesis is pretty important in my opinion. At the least, make sure you know the reactants and products of each part.</p>

4

<p>ok thank you guys.
down with 5 chapters!!</p>

<p>@Eagles<em>for</em>life, are you taking the SAT II bio next week? I am! Our high school bio class just finished the cellular respiration and photosynthesis unit in DETAIL, covering everything, so I don’t have to study it off the SAT II book (I have PR). </p>

<p>I heard from people who took the SAT bio last month that you need to know the structure/anatomy of an eyeball-isn’t that so random?</p>

<p>Question: do I have to know all of the classes, kingdoms, phyla, etc. in detail? Will a lot of it be on the test? Thank you</p>

6

<p>yeah same our class covered cellular respiration but not photosynthesis
right now im trying to understand these stupid genetics problems.
where are u in ur prep?</p>

7

<p>Including PR Bio and class notes, I’ve covered:
-cellular respiration
-photosynthesis
-macromolecules
-cell structure
-DNA structure/replication/etc.
-mitosis/meiosis
-punnett squares/mendelian genetics
-kingdoms/classes/etc. (need to review this, though)</p>

<p>I’m on organ systems. I understand everything except for the endocrine system-so much to know with all those hormones.</p>

<p>I’ll review my bio notes from school on plant structure.</p>

<p>I need to cover:
-behaviour
-microorganisms
-ecology (if i have time-so i can decide on test date if i’ll do E or M, depending on the difficulty of the qustions)</p>

<p>woohooo</p>

<p>what about you?</p>

8

<p>using barrons i’ve done:
-biochemistry
-cell
-mitosis (still have to look over meiosis)
-cell respiration
-molecular genetics
-and have only memorized kindney and digestive system</p>

<p>need to cover still:
-meiosis
-photosynthesis
-classical genetics
-evolution
-taxonomy
-plants
-animal physilogy
-gas exchange, circulation, endocrine system, nervous, eye/ear, muslce
-reproduction
-immune system
-animal behavior
-maybe ecology </p>

<p>ass u can see, i have a busy 6 days ahead of me.</p>

9

<p>Same here. I’m aiming for 700+, you?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if PR bio practice tests are harder or easier than the real thing? Thanks.</p>

<p>Actually the biology test will have different questions in it each time. It will always have a particular percentage in each broad area such as molecular bio, ecology, physiology, evolution/genetics, etc. But it will sometimes not include stuff from fairly large sections of biology. For example, I took the ecology subject test this October, after having finished AP biology last year. There were about five or six questions on the test on the endocrine system that I completely guessed on because I didn’t know them very well. I ended up getting a 750. I retook the test in November and before taking it, I studied for about an hour the night before on just the endocrine system, because that was the only area I was lacking in. However when I took the test, there were no questions on the endocrine system at all, so i didn’t even need to study for it. I was so mad. The eyeball question wasn’t on the earlier test, and it probably won’t be on the next test either. So you never know what random thing will be on each test. It is best to be good at all aspects of biology so you are prepared. Also I think that Princeton Review’s practice tests are slightly harder than the actual test because I took half of one and missed about 4-5 questions which equates to missing 8-10 on a full test, and in neither of my two tests did I miss that many. I ended up getting an 800 on my second test by the way.</p>

<p>Congratulations, that is truly fantastic! I’m almost finished reviewing PR, just need to go over my pages of notes. It’s good to hear that PR is actually harder, because most people say that Barron’s is. I’ll take a practice PR test and see what my scores is :slight_smile: thanks!</p>

13

<p>any other opinions as to which practice tests are most similar to the real thing (for biology): Barron’s or PR?</p>

14

<p>Well, I never took the Barron’s practice test, I only took Princeton’s, I’m comparing Princeton’s test to the actual SAT subject test. So good luck finding answers to the rest of your questions, I’ve helped as much as I can. The only studying I did besides for the endocrine system was taking half of the practice test.</p>

15

<p>Thanks. I’m taking some SparkNotes practice tests right now… has anyone done these before and if you have, are these accurate? (similar in difficulty to real CB test?)</p>

<p>Please HELP ME ANSWER THIS BIOLOGY QUESTION AND WHY !!?
1.All of the following are correct about evolution EXCEPT :
A. Geographic isolation can cause the formation of new species .
B. the best adapted organisms survive .
C. if the environment changes suddenly and an organism is not adapted for the new environment ,it might die .
D. new combination s of genes can produce new phenotype .
E. single individuals , not populations ,can change in response to a changing environment .</p>

<p>2.This Graph represents information about survival or motility rates for three different population</p>

<p><a href=“http://i54.■■■■■■■.com/jjqqmf.jpg[/url]”>http://i54.■■■■■■■.com/jjqqmf.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>A.Type I Only
B.Type II only
C.Type III Only
D.Type I & III only
E.Type I , II ,III</p>

<p>a.Organism that carry out external fertilization and development .
b.include mammls .
c.experience enormous predation of young .</p>

17

<p>1 is E because individuals will change, and all the individuals will be affected, so the population as a whole will be affected as well.</p>

<p>2 is E as well, because the three different types of survival rates are each shown on that graph.</p>
