AP Biology

AP Biology Unit 2 Study Guide featuring cell structure, osmosis, passive/active transport, and prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells.

XI. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Conservation biology: threats to biodiversity, endangered species, and conservation strategies Biogeography: patterns of biodiversity and distribution of species Ecosystem ecology: ecosystem processes and the impact of human activities on ecosystems

In depth AP Biology Unit 1 (Chemistry of Life) notes containing all the information you need for your quizzes, tests, and the final AP exam. The topics covered in these notes are the properties of water and macromolecules (the two main subjects of Unit 1). Knowing the information on these notes will cover everything you need to know for Unit 1, especially for the AP exam. I promise you, studying these and the other units I will post soon will get you at least a 3, with the majority of you scorin...
