<p>I cant believe they post grades on BearFacts Thurs o O</p>
<p>when do they post 1al grades up?</p>
<p>wow…</p>
<p>still no replies…</p>
<p>that bad, huh? lawl.</p>
<p>It was okay. just Rine’s section… major ***.</p>
<p>yeah that was the part i know i ****ed up too…what was the answer to the H1n1 /doctor with best bio 1a Q, lol?</p>
<p>and the one that was like which best represents a series of reactions that finally results in a negative change in entropy (that had life as an answer choice)</p>
<p>I put the doctor that told you to rest/study because I didn’t remember him mentioning transfusions and I thought vaccines were useless/pointless if you’d already been infected with the same strain. I stopped webcasting toward the end of Rine’s section though, so I could be wrong.</p>
<p>I put ribosomes because they result in a decrease in entropy from amino acids –> protein. Not sure how they self-replicate, thought they were made in the nucleolus.</p>
<p>i thought the vast majority of it was really fair, though some tough questions toward the end on firestone’s part (manageable, just had to think a little bit) doudna’s was pretty much 1/2 the first midterm with some changes.</p>
<p>rine’s section…that was just ridiculous. i’m not sure how I did overall, but I am sure that I missed most of my points on his questions.</p>
<p>i put life, btw. on the whole, it replicates and is a localized decrease in entropy. ribosomes don’t self replicate, since most of it is rRNA that is just transcribed. i’m not sure though, strange question indeed.</p>
<p>we’ll all see thursday, i suppose</p>
<p>Not sure how life would ever be considered a localized decrease in entropy. Maybe I was just thinking of it too narrowly in terms of humans, but we break down the foods we ingest and undergo cell respiration (increase in entropy) and sexual reproduction produces recombinant gametes (increase in entropy).</p>
<p>i said life too!!!</p>
<p>yeah-i was so glad i decided to redo Doudna’s midterm again at 4:30 this morning…there is no way i would have gotten any of her q’s right if i hadnt looked at that thing</p>
<p>I could mash a bacteria up and wind up with some carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur. But could I take a mix of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur and get life? Not in a billion years. There is a virtually limitless number of ways to arrange those molecules. Only a few of those arrangements of chemicals will create an entity which will use other chemicals it comes across to replicate itself, or what we call life.</p>
<p>So um… do you guys have any advice for Rine’s section for the final? I totally bombed his midterm… :/</p>
<p>haha weird seeing this thread bumped. im SO glad i am not you guys right now.</p>
<p>hmmm…definitely go over his test again because they reused Q’s from the Midterm on the final as i said above. his section was the one that ****ed me over big time in that class, so i totally feel you.</p>
<p>chin up :)</p>
<p>Good to know they reuse questions! :)</p>
<p>do you know of any resources other than the 1 final that they offer us so that we can do more practice tests? i also really need to do well on this final</p>
<p>But what about stuff like the life question you posted? like what the heell kind of a question is that…</p>
<p>how do we study for firestone’s section? his practice questions were felt too easy…</p>
