AP Biology 8.2.A: Strategies for Acquiring and Using Energy

Practise AP Biology 8.2.A questions by linking metabolic and thermoregulatory strategies with energy balance, growth, reproduction and homeostasis.

Exam points

distinguish endothermic and ectothermic strategies using internal temperature, metabolism and environmental data
connect net energy gain or loss with energy storage, growth, reproductive output, mass and survival
explain how nutrient availability and energy budgets influence metabolism, thermoregulation or reproductive strategy
