SAT II Biology May 2009 Discussion

<p>apical meristems are where the growth occurs, so the branch would stil be at 4.</p>

<p>^ what dialysis will do, which is remove metabolic wastes.</p>

<p>for fertilization graph, i said there was a change during time period 2. cus the other choice was at the beginning of time period 2, there was an abrupt change. and the graph showed that the change occured in the middle of time period 2… idk though.</p>

<p>ugh i prob got that entire slew of starling questions wrong… except for that they are bad cus of competition.</p>

<p>umm what was the answer to the carbon cycle? was it that photosynthesis and respiration are the major contributors?</p>

<p>^Yes. 10char</p>

<p>capture and relocate doesn’t work - it would be too difficult to relocate the starlings from everywhere where they’re too abundant, and they could easily repopulate the area again</p>

<p>I don’t see how introducing an exotic species helps either, because if that new exotic species is competing for resources with the starling, then it will become an invasive species once the starlings are gone (the goal is to preserve North America’s native birds).</p>

<p>A virus specific to starlings would wipe out the invasive species, which allows the North American birds to survive, so I said virus</p>

<p>yea i said it was photo and resp. but the answer was worded like photo and resp cuased a change in carbon… and it doesnt really… but i still chose it cus the others didnt seem right</p>

<p>^UGHH!</p>

<p>ahsirt lawragga si yag</p>

<p>Yeah- I put the photosyn/respir answer for carbon cycle. </p>

<p>For the Mendel one, did you count “Segregation of Characteristics” as true? Isn’t it segregation of alleles?</p>

<p>Alleles are characteristics.</p>

<p>What was the answer to question about how BMR effects the mouse? It was the last question pertaining to the mouse and cricket chart.</p>

<p>wait that question on the tree protected by the ants and the ants getting nectar from the tree… I HAD NO IDEA??
i said coevolution… but i didnt think any answers were right</p>

<p>For the most likely baby question, I said 14 days after/before? ovulation: something along the lines of that</p>

<p>I chose Carbon, Carbon is in everything. I dont think oxygen or hydrogen were even answer choices. </p>

<p>For the 3 growth periods protein one, I said it was an abrupt change. I am not sure though if it was abrupt or if it was just change. - bad question</p>

<p>i think co-evo is right</p>

<p>that would be law of independant assortment, which is when differnt characteristics are separated. was the answer “all of them”?</p>

<p>the bmr mouse one… i said it was like endotherms needed to regulate their own temp</p>

<p>for the most likely baby, its right after the egg is released… common sense… LOL</p>

<p>Haha yeah, 14 days after is a trick line.</p>

<p>^ yes after the egg is released (shortly after). what were the chromosome answers?</p>

<p>also, which one didn’t have a membrane around? - chromosome?</p>

<p>48 for entire cell, 24, 24, 25.</p>

<p>Chromosome.</p>
