<p>We get our scores back June 25th I think, and I they change the curve every year so it’s hard to tell. It was harder this year than others so they might make the curve more leniant.</p>
<p>wait can somebody explain to me this “curve”? I never knew there was a curve</p>
<p>Anybody want to discuss any questions?</p>
<p>cellomaster there are a list of compiled answers somewhere earlier in the thread, regarding about the curve, basically it’s just how many chances you get for the score 800. Sometimes its higher sometimes its lower.</p>
<p>Complied Answers June 2010</p>
<p>**=not unanimous </p>
<p>-have circular DNA bacteria
-crayfish have gills
-antenna butterfly
-no antenna scorpion
-2 germ layers hydra
-the oxygen byproduct of photosynthesis comes from water
-plasma is mostly made of water
-biome with fires chaparral
-data shows least likely absorbed was urea
-vestigal organ in snakes pelvic bone
-plant diagram: xylem was on left (innermost),
part in between gave rise to both xylem and phloem, phloem was on right;
outermost ring/arrow on far right was for water retention
-large intestine for water and electrolyte reabsorption
-moss living on tree commensalism
-orchid pollinated by one species of insect coevolution
-C6H12O6 cannot tell atom structure
-molecule Z came from pancreas
-anemone and clownfish mutualism
-rattle snake was snake IV
-more energy to producers thanto primary consumers
-homologous chromosomes separate anaphase 1
-the conclusion about the moths showed birds were better at spotting light colored moths
-the hypothesis about the moths was correct
-prokaryotes and eukaryotes both contain ribosomes
-humans cannot breakdown cellulose because we lack the proper enzymes
-sickle cell anemia is caused by abnormal folding caused by the wrong protein being synthesized
- had nothing to do with water moving up xylem soil pH
-Kansas Hill Shales (sp) and other location Hill Shales fossils showed that they had similar geological ages
-Snail fossils showed that rapidly changed in only 1 mil years supported punctuated equilibrium - graph of hormone was estrogen
-graph of hormone targeted uterus
-graph of hormone showed that hormone attached to receptors in cytoplasm that carried it to nucleus
-insects with enzyme and insecticide AA vs. aa I. ability to metabolize
II. survival from the spray; III. equal successof AA and aa; I, II, and III
-plants have but not animals plastids
-animals have but not plants centrioles
-something about FSH, LH, and anterior pituitary ovary
-black fur dominate over brown
-snake venom would first affect the nervous system
-seeing that there are light and dark moths observation
-the two types of plants on the mountain I and II Only
-rooster would have small testes - rooster with testosterone injections had longer combs
-part of diagram represented mineral homeostasis inorganic salts
-does not happen during angiosperm fertilization transferring of ovules
-vaccine worked because smallpox and cowpox are similar
-slow moving organism looked like fast moving organism mimicry
-sperm/meiosis graph height of line doubled and then fell below original line by half - centromere allowed the plasmid to attach to the mitotic spindle
-black/brown fur and short/long tail cross example of independent assortment
-place on diagram’s data to look for diabetes mulletis glucose
-cobra was snake IV
-you could replace IV with heat sensing pit
-rose variation-HUMAN SELECTION (not sure about that one)
-the experimental design of the daphnia lab could determine the role of algae in the outcome of competition</p>
<p>pls someone discuss</p>
<p>the the rose variation human selection one, I put incomplete dominace. I’m not sure if it’s the same question though…was it something about purple/blue/red flowers?</p>
<p>Also for the phloem plant labeling, i remember it said “storage of glucose”. Is that different than transport of glucose? does phloem store glucose? In any case I still put the phloem as the right structure.</p>
<p>There was a question about rabbits in the E section. So what happens when all the rabbits from australia are eradicted? what will refute the scheme? I put too many empty niches, not sure if thats correct</p>
<p>those compiled answers look good but i have a question. about the daphnia one, there was a question about which experiments were used to show how they competed. anyone remember the answer to that??</p>
<p>^^ i thought for the tree/mountain set it was I-III… only one person said it was I and II >.></p>
<p>yeah I put I-III as well…
does anyone remember what they were? climate variation, something about soil…and what else?</p>
<p>@DitzyDino</p>
<p>I think your talkign about a diff’t question…</p>
<p>my rose question was: which LEAST contributes to variation</p>
<p>I put human selection, but a lot of people put self pollination :p</p>
<p>and I put 1 and 2 for the moutnain one because if climate at diff’t elevations effects the slope (which was the 3rd answer choice), then the plants/shurbs/trees would have been divided with horizonatl lines (at diff’t elevations) rather than vertical lines as it was in the diagram</p>
<p>water retention (this was the 3rd choice)</p>
<p>the first two choices made sense…it was the third that i dont think is true cus they mentioned diff’t elevations</p>
<p>@sevonkong</p>
<p>Oh I totally remember that question now. I also put self pollination for that one, which was a guess :/</p>
<p>the rose one i narrowed down to human selection and something else. human selection is essentially controlled cross pollination, so i think it was some other answer</p>
<p>yeah idk…i wud expect with human selection the variation to eventually diminish, whereas self pollination wud stay the same forever…idk agree disagree?</p>
<p>with human selection, you’re essentially choosing one trait over the other basically diminishing the variation dramatically, with self pollination and a large population, the gene pool should not change</p>
<p>idk i think it should be tossed. if self pollination was a choice than thats right because it said genetic variance i think</p>
<p>Anymore questions? I kind of wanna discuss this lol.</p>
<p>@almostsk8tr, i am very nervous, im only a freshman, but what score do you think a freshman should get on this? i studied like CRAZY NO JOKE! EVERY WEEK FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. but im nervous still. 
i want this curve to be rly lenient! :(</p>
