We had a test today. I feel as if I did pretty well on it. Looking at the answers, half of my wrong answers were just stupid mistakes, which I should have gotten correct.
I am not a big fan of bio tests, but I did learn some things while looking at my wrong answers. For example, the rate of photosynthesis levels off after a while, no matter how much light is being shined onto a plant. I thought that both would go up at an equal rate indefinitely. Another thing I studied but forgot on the test was the definition of granum. It is, according to Mr. Wong, a "stack of thylakoids."
I was surprised that there were no questions about Melvin Calvin, the discoverer of the Calvin cycle, on the quiz. He has a big role in the science of photosynthesis, so I thought he deserved at least one question.
