The New AP Bio Test Format
The 4 Big Ideas!1) The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life2) Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis3) Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes4) Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties
