Hungry Minds, 2001. - 419 p. - The Advanced Placement Program is
designed to encourage students to take challenging courses in high
school and receive college credit for their efforts. Many high
schools offer classes especially designed for the AP program, but
any course or program of study, whatever it is called, is
appropriate if the content is college level. This book helps you to
prepare for the Advanced Placement Examination in Biology. A major
difference between an AP biology course and a regular high school
biology course is the emphasis on detail. In many cases that detail
derives from a description of the molecular structure of molecules
and the chemistry of metabolic reactions. It is the understanding
of biological processes at the molecular level that provides you
with a more thorough understanding of biology.
