Cracking the SAT II: Biology E/M, 2001-2002 Edition (Princeton Review: Cracking the SAT Biology E/M Subject Test)
The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Biology E/M exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about biology--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam.There's a big difference. InCracking the SAT II: Biology E/M, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:* Score higher by reviewing key biology concepts* Earn more points by becoming familiar with the format of the test* Safeguard against test traps that can lower scores* Perfect skills by practicing review questions in each chapter*** This book includes 2 full-length simulated SAT II: Biology E/M exams. All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained.Contents Include:I IntroductionPoint 1: Approaching the Test StrategicallyPoint 2: Teaching You the Biology You Need to Know to do Well on the ExamII The Exam Format, Question Types, and StrategiesThe FormatClassification QuestionsFive-Choice QuestionsLaboratory Five-Choice QuestionsStrategy 1: Study the Right Stuff the Right WayStrategy 2: Practice the Right Stuff at the Right TimeStrategy 3: Easy Stuff FirstStrategy 4: Take a Guess, but Guess SmartStrategy 5: Choosing the "Wrong" Answer--Least/Except/Not QuestionsStrategy 6: I, II, III--You're Out!Strategy 7: Avoid the Camouflage TrapStrategy 8: Avoiding the Temptation Trap--Predict an AnswerStrategy SummarySpecial Tips for Laboratory Five-Choice QuestionsIII Cracking Cellular and Molecular BiologyBiologically Important Macromolecule #1: ProteinBiologically Important Macromolecule #2: CarbohydrateBiologically Important Macromolecule #3: LipidBiologically Important Macromolecule #4: Nucleic AcidEukaryotic Cell StructureWhat Goes On in the Cytoplasm: Chemical Reactions and EnzymesTime to Talk about Cellular RespirationGlycolysisThe Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC)The Krebs CycleElectron Transport and Oxidative PhosphorylationWhat Happens if Oxygen is NOT Available?DNA Replicates ItselfChromosomesHow chromosomes Govern Protein Synthesis: Transcription and TranslationMore About TranslationHow Translation Works, Part 1: tRNAHow Translation Works, Part 2: The RibosomeHow a Whole Cell Reproduces Itself: MitosisIV Cracking GeneticsRemember Why Chromosomes are ImportantThe Formation of Gametes: MeiosisLet's Get Back to GeneticsPhenotype and GenesMating and CrossingPunnett SquaresSex and Sex-Linked TraitsPedigree AnalysisV Cracking Evolution and DiversityThe Origin of LifeEvolutionGetting Organized: PhylogenyKingdom MoneraKingdom ProtistaKingdom PlantaeKingdom FungiKingdom AnimaliaVI Cracking the Structure and Functions of OrganismsControl of the Body, Part 1--The Nervous SystemControl of the Body, Part 2--The Endocrine SystemTransport Within the Body--The Circulatory SystemBlood TypingThe HeartVentilation and Gas ExchangeBody Processing, Part 1--The Digestive SystemBody Processing, Part 2-- The Urinary systemSupport and Protection of the Body, Part 1--The Skeletal SystemSupport and Protection of the Body, Part 2--The Muscular SystemSupport and Protection of the Body, Part 3--The SkinReproduction and Development, Part 1--The Male SystemReproduction and Development, Part 2--The Female SystemReproduction and Development, Part 3--Fertilization, Embryology, and Fetal DevelopmentThe Structures and Functions of PlantsBehavior, Learning, and CoexistenceThe Structures and Functions of MicroorganismsVII Cracking EcologyWhat is a Population?What is a Community?More about the Community--Who's WhoLet's Talk about Ecological SuccessionGetting Bigger--The EcosystemWhat Goes Around Comes Around--Nutrient CyclesGetting Bigger Again--BiomesVIII The Princeton Review SAT II: Biology E/M Subject Tests
