AP Biology

Wednesday: Midterm Exam (Multiple Choice) (homework)
November 17, 2010
**This is your last day to play Greed for extra credit. My classroom will be open before school and during PAT/Lunch.

**You will have 75 Multiple choice questions to answer for this portion of the exam. See the study suggestions below to adequately prepare for the exam.


1. Review your bell questions for this unit.
2. Review/study your notes. We took notes on the following topics: "Cells", "Plasma Membrane", "Cell Transport", "Photosynthesis: Overall Reaction", "Photosynthesis - Light Rxn",
"Photosynthesis - Dark Rxn", and "Cellular Respiration".
3. You should have already read the three chapters in the Cliff's AP Guide, "Cells", "Photosynthesis", and "Cellular Respiration" as well as practiced all of the questions at the end of each chapter.
4. Review AP Lab 1, AP Lab 4, and AP Lab 5. Focus on the questions asked at the end of each section of the lab. You should also be able to understand each of the graphs.
5. Review the Practice Multiple Choice Packet (#1-94). PLEASE NOTE: This packet does not provide review questions for water potential. To review water potential, your best bet is review the Water Potential portion of AP Lab 1 (Part C & D).
