yea. think of it like this - saturated lipids = "saturated carbons with H's". you can tell the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids based on the # of H's .. if there's a double bond somewhere in there, the maximum # of H's isnt being allowed, so its unsaturated.

Are labs really that big on the exam? Last years didn't have it (form b did) But even then, it was one part to the question.

Punctuated equilibrium- evolution occurs in short bursts; in between these short bursts are periods of little change.

anyone annoyed that cliffs does not have an index like a test prep book should?

punctuated equilibrium- periods of evolutionary history consisting of geologically long periods of stasis with little or no evolution, interrupted, or "punctuated," by geologically short periods of rapid evolution (cliffs)

Last year, I felt the most unprepared for AP Bio out of any of the classes I studied for, and it wound up being the easiest test.

No labs were featured on the exam (which was good, because we did less than half of them in class), and 40% of the multiple choice involved matching terms to definitions.

A friend of mine wrote an entire FRQ essay on how cephalization is the method in which an animal learns via observation, and he still got a 4.

Y'all will do fine.

Edit: And for the free response part... I had never written an essay for an AP Bio test until I sat down to the exam. And having taken it and received a 5, I must now ask what ahmadh007 means by 'form a' and 'form b' -- I honestly can't remember... is it something like AP Stat, in which one FRQ essay counts a lot more than the others?

And please, follow Neinebu's words of wisdom.

I honesty don't know myself, but there are 2 forms of the test at collegeboard. Maybe form b is the makeup version.

Anyways, the online cliffs version has a nice search function.

Pm me

LOL. That's true..CC is probably host to some of the brightest students in the nation. Which excludes me =P

Anyway, someone care to help explain this 5' and 3' thing for DNA, and what it means? I think I've reread PR's explanation like 5 times, and I still don't get it. It's 5' because it ends something something 5 carbon what?
