AP Biology

This course is equivalent to a college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. Some AP students are permitted to undertake upper-level courses in biology as a fresher or to register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite. Some students attend a laboratory Science course and undertake other courses to pursue their majors.

Primary emphasis in an AP Biology course is on development of an understanding of concepts rather than on memorizing terms and technical details. The design of the AP Biology course is such that students can take it after finishing off first courses in high school Biology and Chemistry. It is aimed to impart students with concepts, knowledge and analytical skills.

AP Biology can be broadly described under following:

I. Molecules and Cells (25%)

Chemistry of Life (7%)	Cells (10%)	Cellular Energetics (8%)
Water Organic molecules in organisms Free energy changes Enzymes	Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Membranes Sub-cellular organization Cell cycle and its regulation	Coupled reactions Fermentation and cellular respiration Photosynthesis

II. Heredity and Evolution (25%)

Heredity (8%)	Molecular Genetics (9%)	Evolutionary Biology (8%)
Meiosis and gametogenesis Eukaryotic chromosomes Inheritance patterns	RNA and DNA structure and function Gene regulation Mutation Viral structure and replication Nucleic acid technology and applications	Early evolution of life Evidence for evolution Mechanisms of evolution

III. Organisms and Populations (50%)

Diversity of Organisms (8%)	Structure and Function of Plants and Animals (32%)	Ecology (10%)
Evolutionary patterns Survey of the diversity of life Phylogenetic classification Evolutionary relationships	Reproduction, growth, and development Structural, physiological, and behavioral adaptations Response to the environment	Population dynamics Communities and ecosystems Global issues

AP Biology: Assessment

The AP Biology Exam tests a candidate's knowledge and comprehension and provides an opportunity to earn college credits before getting done with high school. The AP Biology Exam is of three hours duration and covers a full-year introductory college course in biology with laboratory.

Sections	Description
Multiple Choice	100 Multiple choice questions 120 minutes 60% of total AP Biology Marks Negative ¼ points for every wrong answer No negatives for leaving a question unanswered Based on the 12 recommended AP Biology laboratory investigation
Free Response Questions	4 Essays types questions 1 hour 30 minutes 40% of total AP Biology Marks one question on molecules and cells one on genetics and evolution two on organisms and populations
Reading Period	10 minutes td>

Calculators are not allowed during AP Biology exam.

Lab component in the AP Biology course

The AP Biology course includes 12 suggested lab exercises. Some of the multiple-choice and at least one of the mandatory free response questions on the AP Biology Exam investigates the students' knowledge of the topics and objectives associated with these 12 labs.

Customized packages for AP Biology preparation

Based on a candidate's availability and performance in the diagnostic test, we create a customized package for our candidates. TransWebTutors.com provides online tutors who are experts in analyzing a candidate's strengths and weaknesses, and thus design the package so that students can master every section.

Testimonials

Online tutoring was never a positive word for us; it always signified negative until it happened to our daughter Katherine who's in 10th grade. The service from TransWebTutors was so good and cheap that our connotation of online tutoring has changed completely now. Smith family My son was not doing well in his studies, particularly mathematics and science; I couldn’t afford the $60-70 per hour online tuitions that were available in the market. I then came to learn about TransWebTutors offering online tutoring. I thought of giving it a try and today I am a happy and satisfied man. Mr. Bishop, father of an eighth grader at Chicago Katie was a good sportsperson, but she was not particularly good in her studies. She wanted to devote her evenings to her passion for sports and her school classes were not enough for her. She had started lagging in math but didn’t want to part from her evening sports. Online classes with TransWebTutors late in the evening were what we could have asked for. Now she can pursue her passion along with her studies and it's easy on our pocket too! Ms. Rosemary, mother of Katie I love to see my daughter enjoying studies these days. Thanks to her online tutoring sessions with TransWebTutors which have now become even more affordable for me. She enjoys the new model which is flexible for her and economical for me. Nancy, mother of a fifth grader "Thanks to TransWebTutors, my sons can be flexible about their tutorial timings and I can be relaxed about my spending on their tutoring. It has even reduced the costs for me without compromising on the quality; I am a happy man now.” Mr. Clark, father of two school going kids “I do not care if the teacher teaches my son online! As long as my son can understand and score good grades in his exams using the tuitions, I am least bothered. TransWebTutors is a boon for parents like me who can’t shell out exorbitant money on their ward’s tuitions.” Mr. Johnson, father of a fifth grader “Being a working woman and a single mother I could neither take care of my daughter’s studies myself, nor could I hire a private tutor for her. I was constrained by money. I found out a solution in terms of TransWebTutors. Its giving results and is light on my pocket too.” Ms. Jones exclaims "My sons grades in school have changed from D to A since he joined TransWebTutors. I am proud of my child. I can see he’s getting more interested in studies mainly because he can study whenever he wants and as much as he wants." Mrs. Lutherans
