  1. AP BIOLOGY

  2. Testing Information Date: Mon. May 11,2015 Content: Four Big Ideas • Evolution • Energy and Living Systems • Processes of Living Systems • Interactions

  3. AP BiologyTopics • Chemistry • Cells • Cellular Respiration • Photosynthesis • Cell communication • Cell Division • Heredity • Molecular Biology • Evolution • Biological diversity • Plants • Animal Form and Function • Animal Reproduction and Development • Animal Behavior • Ecology

  4. Big Idea 1: Evolution Evidence for evolution Natural Selection Variation Mutation Gene Flow Genetic Drift Sexual selection and nonrandom mating Hardy-Weinberg Modeling Speciation Phylogenetic Analysis Origin of Life

  5. Big Idea 2: Energy and Living Systems Cell Structure and function Cell membranes Homeostasis Respiration and Photosynthesis Biological Diversity Plants Animal Form and Function Animal Reproduction and Development Animal Behavior Population Ecology and Community Ecology Energy flow through Ecosystems Biogeochemical Cycles

  6. Big Idea 3: Processes of Living Systems Cell Communication Cell cycle and Cell division Heredity Molecular Biology of Eukaryotes Replication and Protein synthesis Mutations Bacteria and Viruses Gene regulation and Expression Biotechnology Plants Animal Form and Function / Animal Behavior Animal Reproduction and Development

  7. Big Idea 4: Interactions Chemistry Cell Structure and Function Respiration Photosynthesis Plants Animal Form and Function Animal Reproduction and Development Population Ecology Community Ecology Energy flow through ecosystems

  8. Format of AP Biology Exam Section 1: Time=90 min. Section 2: Time=80 min. Free response (8) Long free response (2)- approx. 20 min. per question -weighted 25% of exam Short free response (6)- approx. 6 min. per question -weighted 25% of exam • MC (63)- approx. 1 ¼ min. per question • Grid in (6)- numeric approx. 2 min. per question -weighted 50% of exam score • Reading period- 10 min. before section 2

  9. Helpful Hints • #2 pencil for MC and grid in section • Blue/black pen for free response section • Calculator with 4 functions and square root

  10. Score range Scores range from 1-5 Most colleges/universities will give credit for scores of 3-5
