Biology has been the most interesting and appealing subject I have taken. Taking the course as a freshman‚ and the AP course as a junior‚ has really influenced my choice of a potential major. The course taught me how to be more studious and efficient with the information I retain. It is a puzzle‚ in which you piece together process by process‚ step by step. AP Biology also enhanced my collaboration skills. The course is very rigorous and challenging‚ and I struggled often trying to do it all by myself

Chapter 10 – Photosynthesis – Homework 1. Write the basic equation for Photosynthesis (Ps). 2. Some students define Ps as the process by which plants use light energy as food. Discuss if this is a correct statement that would likely be accepted by an AP Biology Exam Reader. 3. Contrast and compare an absorption spectra versus an action spectra for Ps. 4. Discuss why is the narrow area of electromagnetic radiation between 380-750 nm is the best choice to power a process like Ps

Conclusion I predicted that if the decolorization of DPIP is caused by photosynthesis and not cell respiration and spinach extract containing chloroplasts and mitochondria is incubated with DPIP‚ then the rate of DPIP decolorization should be higher if in bright light verses dark light because DPIP is reduced by photosynthesis and not by the mitochondria or any other cellular function. If DPIP was only decolorized by chloroplasts‚ then the percent transmittance of chloroplast suspensions would be

AP biology FRQ Courtney DeMane 1.22.13 block 7 A). The chemical composition and structure of proteins seems quite confusing at first but one it is broken down into levels it is much more understandable. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and they contain amino‚ carboxyl and R groups. These R groups that are in the amino acids are what determine the properties of the specific amino acids. For structure‚ there are 4 levels. The first one being the primary level. These are made
