SAT II Biology M- December 3

<p>Hey everyone, I didn't see a thread on this, so I just decided to start one. How did people think the test was? so far the only questions I remember are:</p>

<ol>
<li>tree- commensalism </li>
<li>mutualism i think</li>
<li>clownfish also mutualism </li>
<li>has cephalothorax but no antennae- scorpion </li>
<li>has head and antennae? </li>
<li>has gills- octopus </li>
<li>has tube feet- sea star</li>
<li>has two layers - hydra </li>
<li>transports water- xylem on the inside </li>
<li>transports nutrients- phloem </li>
<li>gives rise to secondary vascular tissue- vascular cambium </li>
<li>prevents water loss- don't remember but the outermost
hmm then the only ones I struggled with were
what you do to dna you eat?
that hormone experiment with the radioactive dna</li>
</ol>

<p>I think the structure of the consumed dna is destroyed, but the individual nucleotides are preserved.</p>

<ol>
<li>for the question about the germinating seeds the answer was seeds produce carbon dioxide and use oxygen right? </li>
<li>also the question about the estrogen and FSH was uterus. </li>
<li>the question about where the hormone was targeting also uterus?16</li>
<li>question about the nucleus and cytoplasm being affected was it hormone attaches to cytoplasmic receptors and makes its way to the nucleus? </li>
<li>what is the chaparral? was it the choice about the forest fires </li>
<li>the roosters were the thing increases in size with higher concentration of testosterone</li>
<li>the roosters will have smaller testes </li>
<li>the one about the two trees on the mountains: grey soil is at a higher altitude then red soil?</li>
<li>get rid of the one that is not in the mitochondrion- glycolysis </li>
</ol>

<p>and yeah i am hitting blanks now haha</p>

<p>Head and antennae is butterfly
Gills is crayfish
Tube feet starfish
2 layers is hydra
LH and FSH target organ was ovary right?
How was the graph for DNA increase in sperm per hour?
For the 9:3:3:1 it was heterozygous parents right?</p>

<p>Also One of the answers was pancreas right, because they were talking about pepsin?
What did you put for the shale hills and sea anemones one? OR was that in the E part…?
@pitaabread I put the same for the hormone and cytoplasm receptor one. And the rooster q’s.</p>

<p>@z03lah i was stuck between two answers for the shale one. the choices were like they now have the same environment, ammonites survive cold winters, shale usually contain ammonites, the geological places occurred at the same time…i chose one of them at the last second. what did you put for the last question? 1,2,3,4 or 5 for the key? i put 5 in the end.</p>

<p>I put the geological places occurred at the same time for the Shale one.
And IV I actually spent like 3 minutes trying the different combos for the snakes.
@whatkneww how did you find it overall?</p>

<p>P.S. @whatkneww my bad ammonites, I saw that. And I had no clue what they even were.</p>

<p>i think it was 5 cause both of number 5 had the snake “I, II” stuff. then i checked the heat thing vs everything else. that question was pretty confusing. i think i put that also for the shale one.
-what about the one w/gray soil, red soil and the different trees. i put there was competition btwn the two.</p>

<p>I put IV because it was the only one with a hinged jaw, so if you replace the heat there, you will still get the same. Or something like that, I can’t remember exactly.
As for the grey soil and red soil, I put that they were at different altitudes. Because it seems it doesn’t matter about the height so much as the availability of the soil type.</p>
