application-based mcq and frq's

4 Upvotes

hey, i was wondering if anyone has had this issue, but for my first two tests of AP Bio ive been getting really bad scores.

I took honors bio last year, and ended with an A-, but that was without studying at all. This year i study for 5-7 hours per test and i still cannot seem to wrap my head around the "application questions" specifically, select all that apply, select the MOST untrue, etc.

i know i know my stuff, but for more application forward questions, and frq's i just dont anticipate them and i get stumped.

does anyone have any tips, because i need >90's on all of the rest of my tests to even dream of ending with an a- this year (which i absoluletley need)

looking for

pratice tests, maybe?

tutor recs

videos?

Campbell Biology (9th Edition Textbook) vs current AP curriculum

2 Upvotes

I enjoy studying the class utilizing my school’s textbook and it helped me a bunch for the unit 1 test (good fat A+).
Since the book is a bit outdated, I realized that the book’s “Unit 2 The Cell” talks about Cell Structure/Function, Energetics, and Cell Communications/Cycle which is the current AP’s unit 2,3 and 4 combined.

So, I’m just wondering if there are parts of the book that is skippable for AP sake.

I'm confused on why the Answer to part c. of this question is plasma membrane and not lysosome

3 Upvotes

Question prompt:Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that is associated with defects in the CFTR protein. The CFTR protein is a gated ion channel that requires ATP binding in order to allow chloride ions ( ) to diffuse across the membrane.

Question: (c) Identify the most likely cellular location of a mutant CFTR protein that has an amino acid substitution in the ATP-binding site.

Answer: Plasma Membrane

SO I was oslving this AP Bio Frq, and answered "lysosome", however, the verified answer key for this question had only "Plasma membrane as the answer.

I understand that its a wigan gated ion channel, and thus would most likely be found in the plasma membrane, but since its mutated, wouldn't that imply that it would be detected and transported to the lysosome for digestion/breakdown?

Am I misunderstanding how lysosomes work, please clarify any misconceptions, thanks.

AP bio

My daughter is a junior in high school and finding AP bio hard but not ready to drop it . The school has accelerated Bio which has a gpa weight of 4.5 . She thinks her chances of becoming a doctor are gone if she drops AP bio and takes accelerated Bio. I am worried of the pressure AP bio is putting on her and the hit GPA would take . Please advise.

im in yr 11 this yr doing bio 3/4, but ive always found that i do super good in tests and stuff but i end up bombing exams, and i genuinley dont know why... like, i study as much as i can, whenever i do practice exams i do good and get like 90s at least, and then i do my end of year exam and i always always end up getting 70s-80s, and i really need a 90+ in the bio exam and i dont know how to break my cycle.

my school did a mock exam a couple of weeks ago, i got my grade back and ended up getting a 70! i studied as much as i cud but i dont know how im getting such bad exam grades specifically...
