Key ideas to know
Start with the relationships between ideas. Then close the notes and explain each one from memory.
- 01
The Science section has 50 total questions, 44 scored questions, and 60 minutes.
- 02
Eighteen scored items cover human anatomy and physiology.
- 03
Nine scored items cover biology.
- 04
Eight scored items cover chemistry.
- 05
Nine scored items cover scientific reasoning.
- 06
Homeostasis keeps regulated variables within workable ranges through feedback.
- 07
Cell membranes regulate movement between intracellular and extracellular fluid.
- 08
Chemical reactions conserve atom count and net charge.
- 09
A controlled investigation alters an independent variable and measures a dependent variable.

Homeostasis keeps every variable perfectly constant
Regulated variables fluctuate within ranges.
A theory becomes a law after enough evidence
Laws describe patterns, while theories explain patterns.

2How much time is allowed for Science?Show answer +
60 minutes.
3Which Science area has the largest scored count?Show answer +
Human anatomy and physiology, with 18 scored items.
4What is homeostasis?Show answer +
Regulation that keeps internal conditions within workable ranges.
5What does a cell membrane do?Show answer +
Regulates movement between the cell and its surroundings.
6What must a balanced chemical equation conserve?Show answer +
The count of each atom and net charge.
7What is an independent variable?Show answer +
The factor deliberately altered by the investigator.
8What is a dependent variable?Show answer +
The measured outcome.
Explain it in your own words
Use the answer as a check after you have written or spoken your response.
01Why does sweating cool the body?
Evaporation removes thermal energy from the skin.
02How can a cell placed in a hypotonic solution respond?
Water may enter by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
03Why does a catalyst speed a reaction?
It provides a reaction route with lower activation energy.
04What does a control group provide?
A comparison for estimating the effect of the tested variable.
05Why does correlation not establish causation?
Direction may be unclear, and an unmeasured variable may influence both measured variables.
