Biology 2010 Prep

<p>^ I ditched learning all that. </p>

<p>If it’s an MC - skip it.
If it’s an FRQ - hope you did really well on all your other responses.</p>

<p>I’m just memorizing basics-actually, a table in my review book. Whether it’s a deuterosome/protosome, acoelomate/pseudocoelomate/coelomate, symmetry, number of germ layers.</p>

<p>Circulatory systems…Systolic blood pressure vs Diastolic blood pressure. Systolic is when it’s going out to the capillaries, and diastolic is as the blood fills back into the heart right?</p>

<p>^Yup. Also, remember systolic involves contraction of the ventricles.</p>

<p>chaperone proteins, cAMP, temperate deciduous forest, cladogenesis, visceral mass, bryophytes, pistil, ultramichrotome, schwann cells, phycobilin, casparian cells made from suberin, pyrogens, cyclin, bulk flow, NADPH, cyclin, hemocoels, RFLPs, GABA, TATA box, sclerenchyma cells, rhizobium, erythrocytes, facultative anaerobes, chemiosmosis, micropyle, alternation of generations, photolysis, hardy-weinberg equilibrium, karyotype, lacteal, guttation, sarcomere, operant conditioning, allopatric speciation, halophiles, spiracles, oxytocin, major histocompatibility complex, adenosine triphosphate, refractory period, meristem, poikilotherms, mullerian mimicry, loop of henle, thrombocytes, polyploidy, imprinting, nondisjunction, gibberellins, taiga, avery macleod and mccarty, plasmolysis, mycorrhizae, acetylcholinesterase, gene flow, barr body, cyclin dependent kinases, ribulose biphosphate carboxylase, amphipathic, cytochromes, glycocalyx, leucoplasts</p>

<p>any questions?</p>

<p>Does anyone know how the online Sparknotes AP practice test compares in difficulty to the actual exam?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t know half of these… I’m screwed.</p>

<p>No, the answer is .67 according to this old AP. </p>

<p>The complete question is:</p>

<p>Assuming that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the G locus, what percentage of the gray moths that emerged in 1980 were heterozygous?
A)0
B).25
C).33
D).67
E)1</p>

<p>Frequency of G Allele in Population in 1980 = .5</p>

<p>@sciencefrenchie
It’s a good thing you need to know only 1/10 of that stuff.</p>

<p>Here were my notes on muscle contraction… (i put it in my own words). Think of anything to add?</p>

<p>Myosin and Actin.</p>

<p>Myosin uses ATP to move along Actin.</p>

<ol>
<li>Begins with Myosin attached to Actin.</li>
<li>ATP binds with the myosin head</li>
<li>Myosin releases Actin. (ATP still on)</li>
<li>ATP —> ADP + Pi. + energy. <em>hydrolyzes</em> “***** the myosin to high energy shape” (Still have ADP and Pi)</li>
<li>Phosphate releases from myosin. Causes myosin to push on the actin (top of golf swing comes down)</li>
<li>ADP is released. </li>
<li>This “cycle” repeats again — ATP attaches again. </li>
</ol>

<p>Chemical Energy (ATP) —> Mechanical Energy</p>

<p>leucoplasts, cladogenesis, chaperone proteins, ultramichrotome, phycobilin, poikilotherms, can you explain them please, and is visceral mass eye anatomy?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Wait uh, so 50% of the total population is either homozygous dominant or heterozygous and 67% of the total population is heterozygous?</p>

<p>Edit: Oh now I see it</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think I get it.</p>

<p>Total percentage of the gray moths, also taking the homozygous dominant into consideration (GG and Gg) = 0.25 + 0.50 = 0.75</p>

<p>0.5/0.75 = 2/3 ~ 0.67</p>

<p>@BordeauxTwist: chaperonins fold proteins. That’s the only one I recognize in your list…</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!
I’m gonna crash…pretty pointless to study at this point
But I’ll cram a little bit more when I get there lol</p>

<p>did surprisingly well on the 08 release… i’d say this is about my range for tests that i haven’t seen before : 16 wrong 1 skipped and 83 correct.</p>

<p>i reckon i need half of the FRQ for a 5?</p>

<p>I don’t think I need to know all those terms that thehulk88 listed, I don’t think AP would be that specific…</p>

<p>^^ Not even. You only need 13 more points on FRQ (~4 pts/question) - you’re pretty much set for a 5.</p>

<p>Even less than that, if you go by last year’s curve.</p>

<p>I would aim for 10-15% above last year’s curve though, just to be safe… :/</p>

<p>Edit: this was in response to a few posts back, not to xxrunningonempty</p>

<p>Lol, I’d aim for 2 points on the FRQ to get a five.</p>

<p>Using last year’s curve, if you got 95 MC right, none wrong, and didn’t do the FRQ at all, you could have gotten a 5…</p>
