Thanks so much man I appreciate it!

Np m8 :slight_smile:

Anyone received notification yet?

lol do u remember the one with the true/false about the plant’s way of mechanotransduction? it was like rapid changes in turgidity sends messages through the plant T/f. I put true

@ericisbae I didn’t get anything either. It’s probably just a screw-up on the website–don’t worry

lol usually they do it two days before as a previous poster said right?

@staticjava Nope, but do you remember what you put for any of the questions @avocadoapple888 and I have been discussing? Same with @theflyestMC<4

@avocadoapple888 I don’t remember that question exactly but plants definitely do use action potentials for mechanotransduction

ok thx!

Lol yeah so if anyone remembers any other questions or their answer to questions we’ve already discussed pls post here lolol

yeah lol

Hey just a reminder if anyone is still interested in joining the google doc to message me. There hasn’t been much discussion lately and it’d be awesome if we could get more consolidated answers on the doc. Thanks!

guys wb the one with human vs. bird erythrocyte evolution? how did birds compensate for their mitochondria in red blood cells

@avocadoapple888 What was the exact question and some of the answer choices? I only vaguely remember this question

lol it was like while human erythrocytes have no mitochondria, birds do. Which of the following evolutionary facts can explain why?
There was a choice was like Mammals evolved during Triassic period
then there was one with like birds evolved efficient lung systems to compensate for that.
