June 2012 SAT II Biology

<p>ummm wait a minute … I got -3 :frowning: agghhhh that would equal a like uhh -3.6 which goes up to a -4 NNUUU D:</p>

<p>i mean 3.75 LOL</p>

<p>^ That’s still a guaranteed 790+. If you’re lucky, that’s an 800.</p>

<p>Yea if Im lucky T_T</p>

<p>Which ones did you get wrong?</p>

<p>Diet for rats. I put same litter. I put synapse instead of chemical signal LOL i freaked out last moment but i had electrical signal so it doesn’t matter. And the accumulation of greenhouse gases im pretty sure I put CFC so yea :(</p>

<p>Synapse? LOL. And darn, that sucks ><; well hopefully CB thought this test was hard too like some of the people on this thread and decided to give it a nicer curve xD</p>

<p>Haha yea >.> Idk I think I was thinking too much on the synaptic cleft so I was like IT MUST BE CALLED SYNAPSE!!! And I changed my answer :< but oh well it was wrong anyways =.= And yea CB GIVE A LENIENT CURVE PLEASE D:</p>

<p>Hey everyone, could someone please explain to me why coral reef has more biodiversity than the Benthaic Ocean? I put the ocean, because according to Barron’s, “The marine biome is the largest and most stable biome”. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey mang, don’t complain, I omitted 2 to start with -_-</p>

<p>Ameyazing, the coral reef is part of the marine biome.</p>

<p>Benthic ocean refers to deep ocean. If you look back at Barron’s, it says that most ocean life occurs on the coasts (where there is shallow water). Since coral reefs are present in shallow water, and are clearly diverse, it was the correct answer.</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthic_zone[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthic_zone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@ameyazing The benthic ocean biome is the lowest part of the ocean; thus, not many organisms live at such depths. Check out this for more: [Benthic</a> zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthic_zone]Benthic”>Benthic zone - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>In contrast, the coral reef is part of the marine biome and one of the most diverse biomes in the world. It is stated here: [Coral</a> reef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef]Coral”>Coral reef - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Yup, it’s hard for light to penetrate deep ocean, so there aren’t as many photosynthetic organisms, which takes away a huge amount. The AP Bio book also explicitly states that coral reefs are one of the most diverse areas in the world.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question about the companion cells? Just looking for clarification. I think it started out with something about the phloem. Then it contrasted it with cells that have organelles or something… I think the answer was companion cells because they are parenchymal?</p>

<p>Very vaguely do I remember that question Piano68. I believe I put something to do with phloem, as phloem are made up of sieve tube elements and companion cells.</p>

<p>Unless it was on the E, then idk LOL</p>

<p>It was definitely in the general section or M section. I’m really not sure of the question. Lol</p>

<p>I believe it was on the M section. I put companion cells.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I remember the question now. I put whichever answer had to do with companion cells.</p>

<p>Ok, phew lol. That’s what I put.</p>
