AP BIOLOGY AP EXAM REVIEW Q&A
Associative learning - Answer-occurs when animal learns that two or more events are
connected
trial and error learning/ operant conditioning - Answer-when an animal connect its
behavior to an environmental response like pain
Spatial learning - Answer-when an animal associates attributes of a location with the
reward it gains by being able to identify and return to that location
Habituation - Answer-a learned behavior that allows the animal to disregard
meaningless stimuli
Observational Learning - Answer-when an animal copies the behavior of another animal
without having experienced the prior positive reinforcement with the behavior
Insight - Answer-when an animal, exposed to a new situation and without an prior
experience, performs a behavior that generates a desirable outcome
Kinesis - Answer-undirected change in speed of an animals movement in response to a
stimuli
Taxis - Answer-directed movement in response to a stimuli
Migration - Answer-long distance, seasonal movement of animals
Pheromones - Answer-chemicals used for communication
Releaser pheromones - Answer-chemicals that cause immediate and specific
behavioral changes
Primer pheromones - Answer-Chemicals that cause physiological changes
Types of communication in animals - Answer-chemical
visual
auditory
tactile(touching)
Foraging Behaviors - Answer-optimize feeding
types of foraging behaviors - Answer-herds
flocks
schools
packs
, types of social behavior - Answer-agonistic
dominance hierarchies
territoriality
altruistic
Agonistic Behavior - Answer-aggression
originates from competition for food, mates, and territory
Dominance Hierarchies - Answer-indicate power and status relationship in a group
minimize fighting
Territoriality - Answer-active possession and defense of territory in which animals live
Altruistic Behavior - Answer-unselfish behavior that reduces fitness of an individual
an animal risks it safety for another animal
Ways of regulating enzymes - Answer-allosteric effector
competitive inhibition
noncompetitive inhibition
cooperativity
Competitive inhibition - Answer-substance the enzyme by occupying the active site
Noncompetitive inhibition - Answer-substance inhibits the enzyme by binding to a
location other than the active site and changes the shape of the enzyme
Where does the Kreb Cycle occur - Answer-Mitochondrial Matrix
Where does ETC occur - Answer-Intermembrane Space
Reactants of Photosynthesis - Answer-CO2, H2O, and light
Products of Photosynthesis - Answer-Glucose and O2
Calvin Cycle - Answer-converts CO2 to glucose
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur - Answer-stroma

Another name for light reactions - Answer-Noncyclic Photophosphorylation
Another name for the Calvin Cycle - Answer-Cyclic Photophosphorylation
Chromosomes - Answer-tightly coiled bodies of chromatin
