<p>No way!
Check the other amylase... that's secreted in s.intestine.</p>
<p>no... if you look at the chart in chapter 41 enzymes for carbohydrate breakdown is only produced in the mouth and small intestine</p>
<p>or your book is just whack</p>
<p>But salivary amylase is the one that's actually breaking down STARCH. In the small intestine, you're just breaking down disaccharides.</p>
<p>If you look at the chart on pg. 803 of campbell biology 5th edition....</p>
<p>Oh, whoops!</p>
<p>So I think I got like 2 wrong...is that still an 800? I mean, I'd be happy with anything over a 750, but I've been preparing so much for my AP Biology exam that I expected to do really well on this</p>
<p>@whosthat1234: No! I'm not talking about the disaccharidases that the intestinal cells secrete. I'm referring to the amylase that pancreas produces and transports via a duct to the small intestine. Even though intestinal cells do not produce the enzyme, the site of digestion is the s.intestine. Please prove me wrong.</p>
<p>has anyone checked out the sparknotes raw score table, is this close to what it actually is, cuz thats a pretty harsh curve</p>
<p>Can somebody post or PM the hardest questions please? I'm in AP Bio and I'm debating with myself whether or not to study for this exam in June.</p>
<p>Tropical Rain Forest
In the Western Hemisphere, the tropical rain forest reaches its fullest development in the jungles of Central and South America.
The trees are very tall and of a great variety of species.
One rarely finds two trees of the same species growing close to one another.
The vegetation is so dense that little light reaches the forest floor.
Most of the plants are evergreen, not deciduous.
The branches of the trees are festooned with vines and epiphytes (see the photo taken in the Luquillo National Forest of Puerto Rico). Epiphytes are plants that live perched on sturdier plants. They do not take nourishment from their host as parasitic plants do. Because their roots do not reach the ground, they depend on the air to bring them moisture and inorganic nutrients. Many orchids and many bromeliads (members of the pineapple family like "Spanish moss") are epiphytes. </p>
<p>The lushness of the tropical rain forest suggests a high net productivity, but this is illusory. Many of the frequent attempts to use the tropical rain forest for conventional crops have been disappointing. Two problems:
The high rainfall leaches soil minerals below the reach of plant roots.
The warmth and moisture cause rapid decay so little humus is added to the soil.
More on jungle soils. </p>
<p>The tropical rain forest exceeds all the other biomes in the diversity of its animals as well as plants. Most of the animals — mammals and reptiles, as well as birds and insects — live in the trees. </p>
<p>The closest thing to a tropical rain forest in the continental United States are the little wooded "islands" found scattered through the Everglades in the southern tip of Florida. Their existence depends on the fact that it never freezes, and they often escape the fires that periodically sweep the Everglades. </p>
<p>Temperate Deciduous Forest
This biome occupies the eastern half of the United States and a large portion of Europe. It is characterized by:
hardwood trees (e.g., beech, maple, oak, hickory) which
are deciduous; that is, shed their leaves in the autumn.
The number of different species is far more limited than in the jungle.
Large stands dominated by a single species are common.
Deer, raccoons, and salamanders are characteristic inhabitants.
During the growing season, this biome can be quite productive in both natural and agricultural ecosystems.
The photo (by Dick Morton) shows a view of this biome in Maine in the autumn.</p>
<p>and afruff - all the ?s are in this thread, just do some research ;)</p>
<p>on the E section did anyone get these questions and kno the answer?</p>
<p>Something about flatworms, i put 1,2,and 3 </p>
<p>and tehre was one about .... nvm i cant remember</p>
<p>ok the duetersome question was that M or E or both</p>
<p>I took E..dont remember the flatworms one.. what was it again?</p>
<p>deutrosome --> second of E</p>
<p>so the answer to the food production biome question is Deciduous forest?</p>
<p>good that why i dont remember that question... how about terrium??? was that E also</p>
<p>hey did u guys get 0% for a punnet square problem?</p>
<p>also,
from barrons practice test</p>
<p>Covers only 4 % of earth but 20% of earth's food production = rainforest</p>
<p>hey people,
Can you guys convince me?</p>
<p>Which is NOT a characteristic of a bird
A 4 chambered heart
B. respitory system
C. amniotic egg
D. internal reproduction
E. teeth </p>
<p>Why isn't it D though?</p>
