<p>@mcvcm92: um...i'm really sorry but i think you didn't read the question correctly. I know for sure that it asked for the correct statement.</p>

<p>I had two answer choices left: one with chlorofluocarbons and the other one with green house gas
i chose the green house gas one, and FORTUNATELY chlorofluocarbon is responsible for acidic rain, so this statement was false. If the question was asking for false statement, there is definitely more than one like the chloroflurocarbon and the statement that humans are not responsible for global warming</p>

42

<p>Well, CFCs actually cause the depletion of the ozone layer, but w/e.</p>

<p>@mcvcm92, sorry, it did ask which contributed...tough luck...</p>

43

<p>Anybody remember the muscle contraction/ATP Q?</p>

44

<p>I put acid rain for the global warming question...I also thought it asked for the one that did not contribute to global warming. </p>

<p>And according to What</a> Is Global Warming?, chlorofluorocarbons do contribute to global warming as they are "artificial greenhouse gases."-> If that is true,wouldn't there be two right answers?</p>

45

<p>Actually, now that I think about the question, I'm pretty sure it was along the lines of "pick the true statement to do with global warming". So I think greenhouse gases was the only completely true answer...I could be wrong though.</p>

46

<p>It was to pick the correct answer.. Acid rain and CFCs really don't have anything to do with global warming in the ordinary sense.</p>

47

<p>That really sucks that I read it wrong.</p>

48

<p>I absolutely hate when I do that :( Happened to me on a couple of the USH SATII questions.</p>

49

<p>Did anyone else think the ecology section was ridiculously easy?</p>

<p>I have no idea what the heart has to do with ecology though.</p>

<p>Oh, and did anyone else get a complimentary SAT pencil? I'm wondering if using mine will give me good luck on my midterms tomorrow. :P</p>

50

<p>On the global warming question, what were the choices?</p>

51

<p>yeaaaa the ecology was pretty nice...
for the heart one, what does ventral mean? does that mean our left is the heart's right?</p>

52

<p>oh and what was the the cell most likely from on the last question. Animal, plant, or paramecium?</p>

53

<p>^ not sure what exactly you mean super, but the right ventricle is on the picture's left, and vice versa.</p>

54

<p>ah sweet. yea, i was surprised that was on teh ecology section. also, for the last question with the bacteria or w/e in the plate, when their exponential growth slowed down what was taht due to? i said buildup of metabolitic wastes or soemthing like that. i know some of the other answers were lack of light or lack of food...</p>

55

<p>I didn't do ecology, but it's metabolic wastes (ex. yeast producing ethanol that eventually kills it...i know that's not a bacteria but it's the same concept).</p>

56

<p>the last Q on M was a plant cell i believe, since a middle lamella formed during cytokinesis. </p>

<p>Anybody remember the answer to that question about muscle contraction and ATP?</p>

<p>I was torn between the choice w/ both actin and myosin vs the one with myosin changing shape.</p>

57

<p>Really? I thought it was an animal cell cause I seem to remember it being round (or maybe that was just the nuclear membrane...uhoh).</p>

<p>For the muscle, I think it was that the ATP changes the shape of myosin through binding to it (wikipedia says something about "conformation" change).</p>

58

<p>Yea I thought ecology was pretty easy.. Some of the questions from the table threw me off, but I think I got them right. </p>

<p>I was sooo glad that the heart question was on the test! I memorized every part and function of the heart the night before.</p>

59

<p>Did you guys think M was hard? What do you think the curve will be like?</p>

60

<p>it was a plant cell cuz it was during cytokinesis and plants just grow a straight boundary whereas animals pinch in</p>

<p>what was the molecule?</p>

<p>i thought for the most part the 1-60 were easy but then I got to the M section and actually struggled a bit..</p>
