The following is a sample of the type of exams that I will be giving in class. Try completing this exam in 45 minutes. This should be roughly half the size of your exam. Nick 1) Which of the following pairs is mismatched? a) immunologist – studies ecology of Legionella pneumophila b) virologist -- studies human immunodeficiency virus c) Microbial ecologist -- studies bacteria that degrade oil d) Microbial physiologist – studies fermentation of sourdough bread e) Molecular biologist

AP Biology Introduction and Summary AP Biology is among the most popular advanced placement tests put forth by College Board each year for high school students. The test was designed to challenge and motivate students to further expand on their passion for the subject of biological sciences. AP Biology Course Goals According to College Board‚ the structure for designing a proper AP Biology course should focus on the following topics: • Molecules and Cells: 25% • Heredity and Evolution:

cytoplasm to repolarize. When the membrane potential reaches a specific level‚ the voltage gated potassium leak channels close as well. The sodium potassium pump works throughtout this process‚ by pumping Na+ ions out and K+ ions into the cells (using ATP‚ by a process called active transport).Ca2+ ions are pumped back into the SR by means of active transport. The membrane potential is then restored to the resting potential of

AP Bio p. 6 December 8‚ 2011 AP Biology Lab 5: Cellular Respiration Introduction/Lab Objective: In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature‚ and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical

Cells are not smaller that 0.1 um because within the cell all the necessary components have to take place‚ cellular metabolism‚ reproduction‚ photosynthesis and there has to be a sufficient amount of space for that to

it was not until my first test in AP Biology‚ that I realized I actually had to go the extra mile and put forth maximum effort into studying and reviewing. I needed a biology mentor like Mrs.Ciasulli to bring out the best in me because she knew of my aspirations to work in the medical field. Although she attempted to make my life as difficult as possible‚ she made me fall in love with the material and gain much more appreciation for the study of biology. AP Biology then became the class I was most
