Monday, August 20, 2012 - A Day

Objective:
Students will gain an overview of the course rules, procedures and routines in order to maximize their experience in AP biology. 

Warm Up:
Questions 31-32 refer to the data presented in the graph below of tobacco cells grown in tissue culture. The numbers on the curves indicate the concentrations of indoleacetic acid (IAA) in milligrams per liter.

 

31. The optimum concentrations of hormones for promoting maximum tobacco cell growth are:

(A) 27 mg/liter of IAA alone 
(B) 27 mg/liter of IAA and 2.56 mg/liter of kinetin
(C) 27 mg/liter of IAA and 0.64 mg/liter of kinetin 
(D) 24 mg/liter of IAA and 0.64 mg/liter of kinetin
(E) 21 mg/liter of IAA and 0.64 mg/liter of kinetin 

32. The purpose of the experiment is primarily to determine the 
(A) effect of IAA on the growth of tobacco cells 
(B) amount of hormone normally released by tobacco cells in tissue culture 
(C) response of tobacco cells in tissue culture to synthetic hormones 
(D) response of kinetin to various concentrations of IAA only 
(E) response of tobacco cells in tissue cultrure to combinations of IAA and kinetin
