Review Guide - Exam #2 (Spring '09)

General:
     The exam will be similar in format to our first exam; it will be a mixture of objective (e.g., multiple choice, definition, fill-in-blank) and subjective (non-objective) questions.  The subjective questions could include completing/analyzing diagrams or experiments, short answers (require a few sentences), definitions, and matching.  The multiple choice questions will be scored electronically so you will need to bring & use a pencil.  The subjective questions can be answered using pencil or pen (I strongly recommend pencil).  The exam is designed to last one hour.  In general, the exam could include:  (1) anything covered in class; (2) items in textbook that pertain directly to concepts covered in class; (3) lecture notes on-line pertaining to material covered in class; (4) study sheets, handouts or other materials used/assigned in class; and (5) questions from videos seen in lecture (i.e., video worksheet).    On the first exam review sheet I provided some study hints that you may want to check out.   Below is a brief summary of the main topics that are "fair game" for the exam. 

Study Hints:
    Check out the Study tips, More Study Tips, and Advice from last semester's students.  The website for the textbook has lots of great stuff.  And, I have posted a copy of a sample exam to study.

Plant Nutrients & Acquisition:  This unit surveys the main nutrient elements required by plants and how they are obtained.

Animal Transport (Circulation):  This unit highlights the operation of the circulatory systems used by animals for transporting materials through their bodies.

Gas Exchange in Animals & Plants:  This unit highlights the various mechanisms used by plants and animals to exchange gases with the environment.

Transport in Plants:  This units highlights the mechanism by which plants take up water by the roots, transport water from root to leaves, and transport solutes in the phloem
