Exam Info

Nearly done!

The exam will be 100 multiple choice and four open response.  The multiple choice will cover the entire year, but not to the level of depth that the regular unit tests covered.  The topics on the open response will be

• one question covering photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and how these processes relate to ecosystems
• one question on genetics and protein synthesis (review the processes of transcription and translation)
• one question on experimental design and human body systems (review the main functions of systems, detailed processes not included)
• one question on ecosystems and populations

The best place to review will be the unit reviews from earlier this year.  We will spend our last class reviewing for the exam.
