~SAT 2 Biology Review Thread~

<p>green is least effective because chlorophyll reflects it as opposed to absorbing it. red and blue are most effective.</p>

<p>what is metastasis?</p>

<p>Most effective : red and blue
Least effective: green and ?</p>

<p>Brief plant part explanation?</p>

<p>Which plant and what parts? There’s so much.</p>

<p>well for the flower i have</p>

<p>anther-produces pollen grains
filaments-supporets anther
sepals-protect buds
petals-nectar, attarct insects
stigma-cathces poleen
style-supports stigma
ovary-produces eggs
xylem-tansprots H20
phloem-transports sugar
lenticels-gas exchange
root hairs-absoprtion
roots-anchorage, absoprption, stoarge minerals</p>

<p>and it goes on and on and on</p>

<p>what is a process by which an animal comes to ignore a stimulus top go about its buisiness?</p>

<p>Habituation.</p>

<p>What’s adrenal cortex?</p>

<p>Adrenal cortex is an endocrine gland which secret adolsteron and cortisol</p>

<p>What is innate and adaptive immune ?</p>

<p>innate uses a nonspecific defesnes while adaptive uses like a syste mof antibodies and white blood cells like phagocytes for defenses</p>

<p>Which of the following is NOT a type of connective tissue?</p>

<pre><code>(A) Cartilage
(B) Bone
(C) Blood
(D) Skeletal muscle
(E) Tendon
</code></pre>

<p>D???
10char</p>

<p>Yep, apparently blood is a type of connective tissue. Skeletal muscle is <em>drum roll</em> muscle tissue.</p>

<p>It’s D because muscle tissue is one of the four types of tissue in the human body (connective, epithelial, muscle, nerve).</p>

<p>What is the hormone that increases blood glucose levels?
Also, what is the hormone that decreases blood glucose levels?
Bonus: Where are both of them synthesized and secreted? (Hint: Really odd name on commonly known organ)</p>

<p>Yeah and it’s striated and is under the somatic nervous system.</p>

<p>Name the other 2 types of muscle and what nervous system it is under.</p>

<p>Tendon connects what? Ligament connects…?</p>

<p>Glucagon
Insulin
Pancreas- that’s all I know.</p>

<p>^ Islets of Langerhans, to be more specific</p>

<p>Whoa, I remember that from last year actually. Now that you mention it actually… probably would have never guessed it though. </p>

<p>Ugh, running out of things to ask.</p>

<p>What is eutrophication?</p>

<p>Ohmygod I have a lot of work to do.</p>

<p>If I read and understand the entire Barrons SAT Subject Test Book, will I be in the 700+ range?</p>

<p>Yes, of course. </p>

<p>Eutrophication is…???</p>

<p>basically its when a lake absorbs too much nutritents aka eupohtric lakes</p>

<p>what is the function of the cochlea?</p>

<p>Cochlea is basically the final receptor of sound waves. When the wave reaches the cochlea the fluid is vibrated making the cilia move back and forth. Thus, impulse is created and transported to the brain.</p>

<p>What is the significance of the loop of Henley ?</p>

<p>it is involed in the reabsoprtion of water and nutrients by active transport through capillaries and back into the bloodstream, the longer the loop of Henle is the greater the rate of absorption will be as the nephric filtrate travels thorugh it </p>

<p>what chemical is the main cause of the depletion of the ozone layer</p>
