Advanced Placement (AP) Program

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!

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.

bring your parents...

I also want to get out of an AP class... Im so pissed off!

I had an amazing teacher! About a month before the test, we started reading summaries of each unit and taking tests on them. Every day one week we had a test! Hard work, but it paid off! I got a 5. I also bought the Princeton Review AP World book and carried it with me everywhere and read it when I finished my work in other classes. I also read it and took the practice tests at home! A great tool. So just reread your notes, buy a review book, and take advantage of any study sessions your teacher has.

The Readers Digest Association Ltd.put out quite a good overview of w.w.2 in 1989,Called "Reader's Digest Illusrated History 0f World War 11."or a very similar poduction by R.D. called "The World at Arms", I'm sure you will find either of them interesting. there are obviously many,many, others books out there covering the period. There is a great 14-part TV series by British Movietone News called "World War II: The Complete History". It obviously can't go into too much detail as it's only a TV series, but it still provides a tremendous amount of background on the war, as well as a fair bit of detail on many specific campaigns during the war that you otherwise don't get to hear about - like the war between Finland and Russia, the island of Malta, the Germans in Crete, the Japanese in China, and so on. It's very high on narration and low on fluff, so it's a very informative show. World War II for Dummies will give you a fairly accurate picture without boring you to death.

The score system for AP testing runs 1-5, with 5 being the best score possible.

5 - Extremely Well Qualified

4 - Well Qualified

3 - Qualified

2 - Possibly Qualified

1 - Not Recommended

Most schools will only accept AP credit if you get at least a 3 or 4, sometimes just a 5.

No, Ap course are a help though. Ap courses are actually college level courses offered in high school. This means that taking Ap will look amazing on your college application and can allow you to "skip" a year in some courses. For example German 5 is a ap course in high school and is offered in first year college.

Placement evaluation in education might be comprised of a series of tests to determine the level of a child's learning. If a child is overly advanced that his peers, he might be advanced to a higher grade or placed in harder classes.
