Task Verbs and Formula Sheet:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Tips:
Write in complete sentences.
Avoid bullet points, lists, outlines, and drawings.
Don't obsess over perfect grammar and spelling.
For FRQ long questions:
Don't restate the questions.
Review experimental design
-null hypothesis vs alternative hypothesis
-controls + and -
-controlling all variables (consistency with set-up)
-independent (factors the the experimenter controls... often on x axis) vs dependent variable (depends on the independent variable...often on y axis )
Avoid words like love, prove, and absolutes like always or never.
Make sure that your response makes sense.
Be specific, if you are asked to compare, explain what specific elements you are comparing. For example, don't just say longer....say longer than, and how much longer.
Answer specifically what the question asks....no more, no less.
Round to the specific place value asked. Example, tens, hundredths, thousandths, 10 thousandths etc..

Here's the rest of the review unit guides. Today we will continue working on review guides.
You will notice that not all of the information that is in the review guide was covered in class (there is no way to cover everything!) but I would rather expose you to as many possible topics before the exam than only focus on what I taught you directly.
I will interrupt you periodically this period to share out questions and highlight content that needs extra review or clarification.

Combustion and cellular respiration are similar. Both react carbon based molecules with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. It is lucky for us that cellular respiration takes place in small intermediate reactions and releases ATP as free energy rather than one reaction like combustion. Our bodies would not be able to handle the immediate release of heat (entropy) that occurs during combustion!

Formula Sheet These formulas will be given to you during the AP Exam. Chi-square is one of the statistical tests that is on the formulas sheet and you will need to be able to use it.
Chi-square = a statistical test to compare observed with expected results.
Null Hypothesis = The observed results are different than the expected results.
Give the of null hypothesis for the following predictions:
-Taking a vitamin B supplement will have an effect of fingernail growth.
-Tomato plants will exhibit a higher rate of growth if planted in compost.
-Cats fed a particular brand of cat food will gain more weight than cats fed their usual brand of feed.

Explain what happened with the Pocket Mice using the the following concepts:
-evolution = change in gene frequency of a population over time.
-natural selection = the process by which organisms having adaptations best suitable for their environment allows them to survive and reproduce
-variation = genetic differences among organisms within a population
-adaptations = traits that provide an advantage for a particular environment
-fitness = ability to survive and reproduce fertile offspring
-heritability ability to pass on an adaptation to successive generations
-ecosystem stability determines the rate of evolution
How do genetic variation and environmental changes influence evolution?
