Behavioral ecology
This lesson is about behavioral ecology. Behavioral ecology is the study of the evolutionary basis for animal behavior due to ecological pressures. Most probably during olympiad you will get a situation and you will have to determine what kind of behavior is in the problem. For example, The answer is B …
Biostatistics Part 2
To continue our topic on biostatistics, here I will post some good stuff to learn. Firstly, HERE you will find amazing tutorial. Take a look. Below you will find a simple introduction to chi-square. http://www.dpisd.org/cms/lib4/TX01001079/Centricity/Domain/1059/ChiSquarePractice.pdf http://staff.orecity.k12.or.us/kate.fisher/Ms._Fishers_Website/AP_Biology_files/X2%20Practice%20Problems%20Key.pdf https://sharepoint.ocsarts.net/student/academic/rima_semaan/honors_biology/Lists/Announcements/Attachments/422/Ch%2011%20Genetics%20and%20Statistics%20(Chi%20Square).pdf http://www.colby.edu/biology/bi164/Lab/Lab%204Genetics&ChisquareANSWERKEY.pdf
Biostatistics Part 1
After some break, I came back and would like to suggest you reading about biostatistics. Even though in biology olympiads this comprises only a small part of testing, however, you should know t-test and Chi-square very very well. To begin with, bellow you will find a comprehensive textbook of biological statistics. http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/HandbookBioStat.pdf, A good summarize on P-VALUES AND HYPOTHESIS TESTING. …
Enzyme kinetics
Here you will find some stuff about enzyme kinetics. The study of the rate at which an enzyme works is called enzyme kinetics. http://web.campbell.edu/faculty/chazotte/ http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/EnzymeKinetics.html http://www.columbia.edu/itc/chemistry/chem-c2407/hw/ENZYME_KINETICS.pdf www.glutxi.umassmed.edu/grad/GradKinetics.pdf
pH changes
Below you will find a handout with pH calculation theory and problems to consolidate your knowledge. http://web.campbell.edu/faculty/chazotte/Courses/PHARM_304/Materials_304/Biochemistry%20Basics.htm
Acids, bases, titration curves
One more good manual for buffering and titrating problems: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/courses/chm333/Spring%202013/Lectures/Spring%202013%20Lecture%202%20-%204.pdf www.ssag.sk/SSAG%20study/CHE/acid-base5.pdf
Titration curves
If you have already read about buffers in Theory section, it’s time to learn a bit about titration curves. www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/questions/q-phcurves.pdf http://www.learningace.com/doc/5727008/923a81c3eda76a1b3179eb8bd9f2d01d/4124lab2
Biochemistry: Exam Practice Problems
Here you will find some biochemistry problems WITH answers. http://personal.denison.edu/~kuhlman/courses/
Buffers
Here you will find theoretical material about buffers. According to Wikipedia, a buffer (more precisely, pH buffer or hydrogen ion buffer) is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it and thus …
Biochemistry: Exam 1 Practice Problems
Here you will find some biochemistry problems WITH answers. www.personal.denison.edu/~kuhlman/courses/biochem/302_Exam1_Q.pdf
Dicot and monoct root anatomy
Below you will find some notes with cross sections of dicot and monocot roots. Quite often you may be asked to make a cross section and view it under the microscope during olympiad and then answer the questions associated with your sample. http://teacher.sanjuan.edu/webpages/dkaragianes/files/dicot_monoct_root_anatomy.pdf
Buffer Practice Problems
Bellow you will find some buffer problems. Before start read about buffers in Theory section. http://www.biochem.arizona.edu/classes/bioc462/ Another one problem set is bellow: http://personal.denison.edu/~kuhlman/courses/biochem/samples/aqueous_eq_buffers.pdf.
