SAT II Biology E/M Study Thread

<p>Hey so let's make an official study thread for sat II biology e/m for the fall. </p>

<p>you can post questions for other people to answer or anything of that sort. I think it will really help us and it will be more fun than reading a book</p>

<p>so i'll start i guess:</p>

<p>we'll start off with an easier one...</p>

<p>-- During which phase is DNA replicated??</p>

<p>Interphase. I'm a bit rusty on biology though.</p>

<p>What cells serve as storage sites for sugars and starches in stems and roots?</p>

<p>parenchyma cells?</p>

<p>How much net ATP does a cell produce from 1 molecule of glucose?</p>

<p>hmm well in glycolysis, decomposition of glucose to pytruvate 4 ATP produced, but 2 ATP are used... so a net of 2 ATP??</p>

<p>-What's the difference between Meiosis and Mitosis?</p>

<p>its 36 ATP.
2 from glycolysis, 2 from Kreb cycle, and 32 from oxidative phosphorylation.</p>

<p>Mitosis is the division of somatic cells.
Meiosis is the division of gametes. </p>

<p>What is the body's first line of defense?</p>

<p>ahh i see 36 atp for each glucose molecule processed that was a dumb mistake on my part</p>

<p>the body's first line of defense are the skin and mucous membranes</p>

<p>-what are the three types of neurons based on their functions??</p>

<p>Hey, are those questions specifically for E or M? I think I'll do a biology but don't know which one, I'm not sure which I know more on..</p>

<p>I'm not sure but I think they are the :S</p>

<ol>
<li>Sensory neuron</li>
<li>Interneuron</li>
<li>Motor Neuron</li>
</ol>

<p>What are the 2 most important parts of the operon ?</p>

<p>Xhizor you're right: 1. Sensory Neuron (or afferent neurons) 2. Motor Neurons (or eferent neurons) 3. Association neurons (or interneuron neurons)</p>

<p>portugueseninja: these are questions that could probably come up on both (the first 60 questions) there might be some that come up later that are more specific to E or M, but it doesnt hurt to know em especially if you dont know which you're going to take like me</p>

<p>ummm... is it the promoter region and operator region?? idk
i just know that there are two kinds of operon in E. coli, the lac operon and the trp operon</p>

<p>(although i was probably wrong, i'll pose a new question):</p>

<p>-What three things does the vascular cylinder consist of?</p>

<p>You're correct, ummm.. the answer to ur question, I think its the pericycle, pith and endodermis but these are only present in monocots if im not mistaken, i dunno abt dicots</p>

<p>Ok so the next question is:</p>

<p>Identify the three main types of tropisms?</p>

<p>i should have made my question better... but the answer it was looking for was: xylem, phloem, pith.
you listed some of the layers of the vascular cylinder... it was a badly worded question sorry.</p>

<p>three types of tropisms:
Phototropism (response to light)
Gravitropism (response to gravity)
Thigmotropism (response to touch)</p>

<p>What is the equation for photosynthesis?</p>

<p>Nah, its fine, the equation of photosynthesis is:</p>

<p>6CO2 + 12H20 -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O </p>

<p>Ok, so the next question is: What connects bones to muscles ?</p>

<p>tendons.
In the Kreb cycle, ATP is produced by which process?</p>

<p>Subtrate level phosphorylation.</p>

<p>Where does the digestion in hydra occur?</p>

<p>extracellular digestion in the gastrovascular cavity.</p>

<p>Put the following in order
zygote, fetus, grastrula, blastula</p>

<p>What kind of order?
Chronological?
Evolutionary?
Alphabetical?</p>

<p>you should know what I mean o_o
the order it develops.</p>

<p>Zygote, blastula, grastrula, fetus.</p>

<p>Where is all the digestion in the small intestine completed ?</p>

<p>ileum? </p>

<p>What is the way in which most animals are trained?</p>
