Advanced Placement (AP) Program

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math here. Okay, so, like, if you have "ab" plus "ab," you're basically just adding the same thing twice, so it's like adding two apples plus two apples - you end up with four apples. So, "ab" plus "ab" equals "2ab." Math can be weirdly simple sometimes, right?

Water is essential for biological processes in living organisms. It serves as a solvent for chemical reactions, aids in the transport of nutrients and waste products, and helps regulate body temperature. Additionally, water makes up a large percentage of the cells in all living organisms.

yes i am also giving nda exam and it is compulsory. (bad for me as i don't have bio)

First off, you shouldn't wait until the last week. As soon as you know you're in the class you should get a Baron's AP Human Geography book. Then set aside some time to completely read the book and have it done a month before the test. While reading, some how make reference to EVERY vocabulary word and EVERY model and concept. Be sure to know different names for vocabulary and who made the models as well, apparently there was a difficult question on the CRQ's in 2008 because it referenced the model's maker instead of the models name. However, it was discussed by a few teachers and students afterwards and those students who didn't use logic to find out how the model referenced by name was similar to the model referenced by maker felt stupid in front of a bunch a friends who used logic. During the last month, do reviews.

You should not completely study by yourself. Make sure to pay attention to your teacher and do exactly as they ask. This way you get the same knowledge twice so you can learn it better.

Another good thing to do is to take a practice test. My teacher had one, so I imagine your teacher should have one also. Once you finish and have the correct answers, go through and "justify" why the answers are correct. This way, you can know why some of the ones you guessed on are right.

The week before the test do a bit of physical activity (although you should do that already anyway :P) and get a good nights rest. The most important night is TWO nights before the test, and the second most important is the night before the test. Don't overload on your studying either. Cramming is not the best idea if you have actually prepared. However study that way that is the most effective for you, but find out that by taking a practice test as serious as the real thing.

Good Luck!

Generally, biology comes in three levels in high school: general biology, honors biology, and AP biology. They vary on how difficult the presented material is.

General biology is, by far, the easiest. The course is meant for those that either can't handle the challenge or do not want the challenge. There will be homework (the amount depends on the teacher), but the level is not too difficult. General biology teaches you biology on a simpler level, eliminating the many details that come with the various units (i.e. protein synthesis, cellular respiration, etc.).

Honors biology is the intermediate level. The course is meant for those that want more of a challenge, as it provides a more in-depth look into the various units. There will generally be more homework than in general biology, and the level of comprehension will be more difficult.

AP biology is, by far, the most difficult level. An AP class is always a top-notch class in terms of difficulty, as AP stands for Advanced Placement. The point of an AP class is to prepare you for the AP test, which shows colleges how well you have mastered the difficult class. The course provides a very in-depth look into many areas of biology. This class is often taken after either general or honors biology (depending on the school), and thus, the units are usually further in-depth on the ones that have been discussed in previous classes or are completely new units (but still very in-depth).

Overall, AP biology is not for everyone. Because either general and honors biology are usually taken first, it is best to determine how you did in that class. If you did average in a general biology class, AP biology probably isn't for you. If you did excellent in a general biology class or fairly well in an honors biology class, AP biology may be for you. If you did well or excellent in an honors biology class (high test scores, high grade, etc.), AP biology is definitely an option for you.

Short answer: They're similar, but Calculus AB covers a bit more (and goes more in-depth) than Calculus 1.

Long answer:

The AP Calculus AB test covers differentiation (taking derivatives) and early integration (taking antiderivatives), including the concept/applications of an integral and integration by substitution. In college, Calculus 1 covers mostly differentiation and Calculus 2 covers additional strategies for integration and series.

I like to think of it like this:

A = Differentiation

B = Integration

C = Series

So Calculus AB covers differentiation and integration and Calculus BC covers integration and series.

College is more like:

Calc 1 = A

Calc 2 = B&C

Of course, this depends on how much you cover in high school and college.

You will have to make it through medical school to be a gynecologist. Any advanced training you can get early on is going to be an advantage. That is because you will have been exposed to advanced concepts and will know how to learn similar subjects.

You can receive all 12 AP Biology labs at apanswers.webs.com. They have a whole year's worth of AP Biology labs. I used the site last year to pass AP Biology and the AP exam at the end of the year. It'll only cost 14 bucks, but it's well worth it because they get the labs straight from the Collegeboard handbook.

Originally, it was generally believed that life was not subject to the laws of science the way non-life was. It was thought that only living beings could produce the molecules of life (from other, previously existing biomolecules). Then, in 1828, Friedrich Wöhler published a paper on the synthesis of urea, proving that organic compounds can be created artificially.[1][2] The dawn of biochemistry may have been the discovery of the first enzyme, diastase (today called amylase), in 1833 by Anselme Payen. Eduard Buchner contributed the first demonstration of a complex biochemical process outside of a cell in 1896: alcoholic fermentation in cell extracts of yeast. Although the term "biochemistry" seems to have been first used in 1882, it is generally accepted that the formal coinage of biochemistry occurred in 1903 by Carl Neuberg, a German chemist. Previously, this area would have been referred to as physiological chemistry. Since then, biochemistry has advanced, especially since the mid-20th century, with the development of new techniques such as chromatography, X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, radioisotopic labeling, electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. These techniques allowed for the discovery and detailed analysis of many molecules and metabolic pathways of the cell, such as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle). Another significant historic event in biochemistry is the discovery of the gene and its role in the transfer of information in the cell. This part of biochemistry is often called molecular biology. In the 1950s, James D. Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins were instrumental in solving DNA structure and suggesting its relationship with genetic transfer of information. In 1958, George Beadle and Edward Tatum received the Nobel Prize for work in fungi showing that one gene produces one enzyme. In 1988, Colin Pitchfork was the first person convicted of murder with DNA evidence, which led to growth of forensic science. More recently, Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello received the 2006 Nobel Prize for discovering the role of RNA interference (RNAi), in the silencing of gene expression. Today, there are three main types of biochemistry as established by Michael E. Sugar. Plant biochemistry involves the study of the biochemistry of autotrophic organisms such as photosynthesis and other plant specific biochemical processes. General biochemistry encompasses both plant and animal biochemistry. Human/medical/medicinal biochemistry focuses on the biochemistry of humans and medical illnesses.

F1 refers to the first generation of offspring (children) of two individuals. It can refer to many different organisms, not just animals.

P would be used to indicate the 2 parents, and F1 are their children (and F2 would be the second generation of offspring of P, so P's grandchildren and F1's children, and so on)

These P and F terms are terms from the field of genetics, used in the study of natural populations and crossing experiments. A famous example is the crossing experiments with peas by Gregos Mendel, who was the fouder of these types of studies.

The word lysosome is derived from the Greek words 'lysis' which means 'to loosen' and 'soma' which means 'body'. It is a membrane-bound organelle that is found in animal cells but is not in red blood cells. Lysosomes are chemically spherical and they contain hydrolytic enzymes which aid in the break down of things like proteins and carbohydrates. Belgian biologist Christian de Duve discovered lysosomes in 1949.

Assimilation- Piagetian concept of the incorporation of new concepts into existing schemes. Assimilation (linguistics), a linguistic process by which a sound becomes similar to an adjacent sound. Assimilation (biology), the conversion of nutrient into the fluid or solid substance of the body, by the processes of digestion and absorption. Cultural assimilation, the process whereby a minority group gradually adopts the customs and attitudes of the prevailing culture. For cultural assimilation of Native Americans in the United States see Americanization (of Native Americans).

Biology is the bestest ever. Hands down.

Biology is the best... Better than precalculus and chemistry, that's for sure. You can do a lot of fun stuff in biology, like dissect pigs. Very cool. I love it. Bio major here. Cheers. Dumb... or cool. Whatever you like!! If you like animals and big words, then maybe it is for you!!! I like it.

The mortarboard's historical roots can be traced to the mediaeval square biretta worn by both clergy and laity to indicate social status. As the affairs of the Church and academe became separated over the centuries, so did their hats. The biretta was modified and became the headwear of the clergy, and the mortarboard (or flattened square tam) became the hat of the academic.

Ap is Welsh and is equivalent to the Mc in Scotland or the O' in Ireland. It means son of. In some cases the ap became part of the following name eg Price is a corruption of ap Rees and Bevan is a corruption of ap Evan.

Yes, home schooled students can take an AP class from a parent/teacher who has had a course syllabi approved by the college board. Any home school student can decide to take a class that follows an approved course syllabi or just simply study for an AP exam on his or her own. Any student can sign up to take an AP exam each Spring whether or not the student has taken the course for which the AP exam is designated.

ap is better because it gives you higher graded work and its your normal class too!In gt you only stay for about 30 minutes and it gives only 1 grade higher work! GOO AP!

Enter door 8 from the basement level and your answer will await you

AP classes mean Advanced Placement classes, which are more difficult than regular classes, but also count for more. If you take them in high school, you have the option to take the AP test, which, if you do well, will allow you to exempt part of your college course for that subject AP is short for Advanced Placement. After taking an AP class you can take a test that, if you score high enough, can give you college credit.

yes it will definitely help you for BC next year.

Beginning with the 2011 exam the College Board no longer deducts points for incorrect multiple choice questions, so yes it is beneficial to guess.

If a student needs the answers to the 1998 AP Chemistry Free Response questions because they have trouble knowing the answers it is best to ask the teacher for help. The answers are not online, and obtaining help online may provide the student with incorrect information.

I took it in May 2008 and I went into it thinking it would be really tough and I ended up with a 4. On all of the practice tests we took in class I ended up with 3's at best... I think the teachers just want to psych you out a little bit before taking the exam. Just make sure to take it seriously and do your best on the day of the exam.
