AP Biology Exam Instructions and Sections Overview

These flashcards cover key concepts and terminology related to the AP Biology exam structure and information presented in the lecture notes.

AP Biology Exam

A standardized test administered by the College Board to assess knowledge in AP Biology.

Multiple-Choice Section

The first part of the AP Biology Exam consisting of 69 questions that accounts for 50% of the total score.

Free-Response Questions

The second part of the AP Biology Exam consisting of 8 questions that also accounts for 50% of the total score.

Exam Proctor Responsibilities

Ensure that all exam materials are collected and accounted for before and after the exam.

Section II Reading Period

A 10-minute period to read the questions and plan answers before writing begins.

Chi-Square Test

A statistical test to determine if there is a significant difference between expected and observed frequencies.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

A principle used to calculate the expected frequencies of alleles in a population at equilibrium.

Null Hypothesis

A statement that there is no effect or difference, which can be tested in statistical analysis.

Gibbs Free Energy Equation

$riangle G = riangle H - T riangle S$, where Gibbs free energy is influenced by enthalpy, temperature, and entropy.

Water Potential Equation

$ext{Water Potential} (Y) = Y_P + Y_S$, where Y_P is pressure potential and Y_S is solute potential.
