How to remember AP Biology Vocabulary?

How do you guys manage to remember the meanings of AP Bio Vocab? I still need to study Plants, Animals, 5-Kingdom, Ecology, and Cellular Respiration.

I'm trying to do Plants right now but I'm not sure if I should just rote memorize the vocab or find latin/greek roots (they really help me, but they take time to find). Does anyone know an easy way to get the root meanings from the vocabulary?

What order do you recommend for me to study? Thanks

Epistasis, episome, epiphyte and epinephrine all have epi in common but nothing else. So, no.

you forgot epidermis.

Well I guess it's a little late, but pr has a good list of words for every unit. also barrons study guide.

cliffs has bold words that you need to know.

or you can always skim the textbook for bold words

personally i feel like memorizing roots just is more confusing....
