Question

How do you study for AP Biology? like if the questions are all application and sometimes they aren't in the textbook or aren't prominent in the campbell 8th edition textbook. Where can you find questions about photosynthesis, cellular respiration ( including oxidative reaction, and etc. ), and enzymes

Answer 1

uhhhh campbell biology details respiration and photosynthesis very well

try other cell bio text like Lodish etal, Becker's World of Cell or cell and molecular bio by Karp

Answer 2

it is a matter of re-reading the material and trying your hard to comprehend them
biological concepts are easy to grasp, but the mechanisms can be overwhelming

the whole of campbell biology is just scratching the surface - that is just an introductory

Answer 3

@nincompoop are there any books or places with practice problems that focuses on application? or other materials that will help go more in depth

Answer 4

I don't think you need more in-depth material. The questions in AP-bio are good BECAUSE they are application-focused. This requires you to actually understand the lesson contents and then apply your knowledge to an actual problem.

There are things a person can teach you way better than a book. For example: the scientific way of thinking. And since you almost exclusively need that for the AP-bio questions, I advise you to either meet up with fellow students to discuss the questions, or to look for real help here. We *can* help you properly, but it will take longer than a simple 'answer B is right'.

If you learn to think out your problems, you will discover that wikipedia is actually 'deep' enough until university. :-)

Answer 5

learning and teaching are not about which way is better
textbooks, in-class lesson, laboratory experiments, video tutorials all compliment each other.
look for the textbooks I've mentioned as those are the most common textbooks used in introductory to cell/molecular biology and they are exhaustively detailed. biology isn't just something you automatically understand, so keep reading and re-read if you don't quite fully grasp.

Answer 6

thank you.
