<p>It does make sense. Well, they use some complex formula that we’ll never understand anyway.</p>

<p>For the “whats true for all ecosystems” im pretty sure its the more energy for the producers than the consumers.</p>

<p>I might be inclined to agree. Heat loss is inevitable in all ecosystems that include producers and consumers. The question does not mention anything about ecosystem health or self-sufficiency. Then again, we run the constant risk of over-analyzing the question.</p>

<p>What was the inverse thing for the DNA?? Is it just 2 nucleotides switching places? :S</p>

<p>Oh and did any one get like 4 B’s in a row at the start of the M section?</p>

<p>i skipped that one, im not sure what an inverse is. Maybe its the sequence backwards?</p>

<p>What was the problem?</p>

<p>I got like 4 B’s or something too. I don’t remember if that was at the start of the section tho…</p>

<p>It gave you a DNA sequece like 5’ ATTGC 3’ and then asked you what sequence would result in a single inverse or something -_-</p>

<p>the problem cant be described online because it gave u a nucleotide sequence and asked u to match it to its inverse.</p>

<p>Genetics- Inversion: A chromosomal defect in which a segment of the chromosome breaks off and reattaches in the reverse direction.</p>

<p>Yes, the terminology is confusing, but I think it is talking about the reverse and not the complement.</p>

<p>…Damn. Got that one wrong then. Ahhh.</p>

<p>it was the one that started with “TTA”</p>

<p>where are the grasshopper’s reproductive organs?</p>

<p>Wait, the fish was mutualism…the anemones (or whatever) ate the remnants of the fish’s food, while the fish got shelter. The one with the ants on the tree was also mutualism because they got shelter while the tree was protected…and the one I don’t remember was commensalism (moss on a tree?).</p>

<p>Wait, did that answer choice get used twice? [TTA one]</p>

<p>yeah, I used it twice</p>

<p>SCORE I guessed correctly</p>

<p>Guess I was mistaken then. You guys know a lot more than I do :)</p>

<p>What about the Darwin and Mendel questions? What were the answers to those?</p>
