a) Motor Neuron, Neuromuscular Junction,
b) Animal behaviors
c) Vaccines differences –
d) plant behaviors
Pfizer-BioNTech:
Dosage: Two shots, 21 days apart
How it works: This is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine, which uses a relatively new technology. Unlike vaccines that put a weakened or inactivated disease germ into the body, the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine delivers a tiny piece of genetic code from the SARS CoV-2 virus to host cells in the body, essentially giving those cells instructions, or blueprints, for making copies of spike proteins (the spikes you see sticking out of the coronavirus in pictures online and on TV). The spikes do the work of penetrating and infecting host cells. These proteins stimulate an immune response, producing antibodies and developing memory cells that will recognize and respond if the body is infected with the actual virus.
How well it works: 95% efficacy in preventing COVID-19 in those without prior infection. The researchers report that the vaccine was equally effective across a variety of different types of people and variables, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, and body mass index (BMI)—or presence of other medical conditions. In clinical trials, the vaccine was 100% effective at preventing severe disease.
Moderna:
Dosage: Two shots, 28 days apart
How it works: Similar to the Pfizer vaccine, this is an mRNA vaccine that sends the body’s cells instructions for making a spike protein that will train the immune system to recognize it. The immune system will then attack the spike protein the next time it sees one (attached to a real SARS CoV-2 virus).
Common side effects: Similar to the Pfizer vaccine, side effects can include chills, headache, pain, tiredness, and/or redness and swelling at the injection site, all of which generally resolve within a day or two. On rare occasions, mRNA vaccines have appeared to trigger anaphylaxis, a severe reaction that is treatable with epinephrine (the drug in Epipens®). For that reason, the CDC requires vaccination sites to monitor everyone for 15 minutes after their COVID-19 shot, and for 30 minutes if they have a history of severe allergies.
How well it works: 94.1% effective at preventing symptomatic infection in people with no evidence of previous COVID-19 infection. The vaccine appeared to have high efficacy in clinical trials among people of diverse age, sex, race, and ethnicity categories and among persons with underlying medical conditions (although as mentioned above, the efficacy rate drops to 86.4% for people ages 65 and older).
Johnson & Johnson:
Dosage: Single shot. In November, Johnson & Johnson announced it would launch a second Phase 3 clinical trial to study using two doses, two months apart, to see if that regimen will provide better protection.
Common side effects: Fatigue, fever headache, injection site pain, or myalgia (pain in a muscle or group of muscles), all of which generally resolve within a day or two. It has had noticeably milder side effects than the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, according to the FDA report released in late February. No one suffered an allergic reaction in clinical trials for the vaccine, according to the company.
How it works: This is a carrier vaccine, which uses a different approach than the mRNA vaccines to instruct human cells to make the SARS CoV-2 spike protein. Scientists engineer a harmless adenovirus (a common virus that, when not inactivated, can cause colds, bronchitis, and other illnesses) as a shell to carry genetic code on the spike proteins to the cells (similar to a Trojan Horse). The shell and the code can’t make you sick, but once the code is inside the cells, the cells produce a spike protein to train the body’s immune system, which creates antibodies and memory cells to protect against an actual SARS-CoV-2 infection.
*In April, the CDC and FDA issued a joint recommendation for states to halt use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine “out of an abundance of caution” during an investigation into reports of six rare, but serious clotting problems among women ages 18 to 48, occurring six to 13 days after vaccination (the recommendation fell short of an order to stop using the vaccine, leaving final decisions to the individual states).
Transpiration – Plasmodesmata – symplastic vs apoplastic
a) Root positive pressure
b) Negative pressure of the evaporation of the water
Transpiration in concert with guard cell regulates water flow to provide 2 important things for plants
a) electrons for Photosystem II
b) Turgid Cell – plants have no skeletal system, need water for constant support!

WE START OUR REVIEW PROGRAM TODAY!!!
We will take previously released AP Biology Exams using the same timed restrictions as the test day and I will grade it as an AP Reader and give you a AP Grade of 1 – 5.
Today we will begin with the Part 1 (MC) of the Practice Test 3:
The Test normally has 63 Multiple Choice questions with 6 grid – in questions which are math questions
and the time allotted is:
90 minutes / 69 questions = 1.3 minutes per question
These released tests have 11 questions removed in the MC so based on the 1.3 question per minute
pacing established from Actual test you have the following time for part 1:
58 questions x 1.3 questions / min = 75.4 minutes for PART 1
4/15 – Thursday – “B” Day Homework –
1. Please complete your google form on Neurons!
End of Thursday..
4/16 – Friday – “C” Day – period 7C, 8C -I 7(C) 8(A,C) AP BIOLOGY – (double period Lab)

Yesterday we completed 66 minutes of the part one of the Practice test 3.
1. Complete MC section of practice test.
2. Enter your answers into the form posted yesterday.
Please review with the Practice Test 3 Review Video in the Review Web Page.
To determine what AP Grade you are on pace for according to statistics given out for this test:
78% – 100% = AP Grade = 5
62% – 77% = AP Grade = 4
43% – 61% = AP Grade = 3
23% – 42% = AP Grade = 2
0% – 22% = AP Grade = 1
3. Start the Free Response Section.
I will grade and email your part 1 score. You job is to review ALL of your incorrect answers with me below. Please view in youtube and click in the description to go to the timecode to go to your questions that you want to review.

You will need to be signed into your google account associated with your email above to gain access. Last year students had to also sign into their youtube account with their email address above as well. Not sure if that is the same.
4/16 – Friday – “C” Day – Homework
1. Please review every incorrect answer to your part 1 of Practice Test 3 using the video posted above that is linked to your gmail acount.
2. If you have completely finished reviewing Practice Test 1 then please begin with 2019 part free response questions:
Directions:
2019 – Part 2 practice – It will be counted as a quiz grade.
Complete the Part 2 section of last years test (2019). Pretend that you have just sat for 90 minutes finishing the multiple choice section of the test. You will be given a 10 minute break and then Part 2 (Free Response Section Begins). Please do all of this on the shared google doc that I emailed you today..
Multiple choice = 50% of the test
Free Response = 50% of the test
Question 1: 10 points
Question 2: 10 points
Question 3: 4 points
Question 4: 4 points
Question 5: 4 points
Question 6: 3 points
Question 7: 3 points
Question 8: 3 points
Now you will need to write or upload images of your work in the shared google doc that I will send you today for the part 2 section.
You will not have any space to answer the questions in between the questions. Make sure you label appropriately on your lined paper!!
Example: Question 1:
a) (i) Your work
(ii) Your silly work
Do not make it hard for the AP reader to FIND your answer and do not make it hard for them to Read Your answers (make it legible!!)
a) This section is a timed section and will be 90 minutes long BUT I DO NOT want you to time yourself. Please go through this methodically. Answer every question no matter how long it takes to complete the entire 8 questions.
THERE ARE NO OMISSIONS! WE HAVE COMPLETED THE COURSE!
b) Once you complete this part 2 section please review to see how many points your earned for each question WITH the AP Central Key then Review with my Key to understand how complete each question. I wrote my key days after the AP questions were released last year.
