the E refers to Ecology, which emphasizes populations, behavior and things of that nature. The M which refers to Molecular contains questions about cell structure, organic/inorganic compounds and human anatomy. Although there is are 60 questions that must be answered for both tests, you will able to pick E or M after the 60 questions and answer 20 more which focuses on the subject you picked. In my opinion the Biology E would be a better test to take if you did not study as much as you liked to as it involved more reasoning rather than factual information. If you're confident in your knowledge of biology, you should take Molecular as they're straight forward know it or don't know it types of questions.

The SAT Biology E exam focuses more on ecological, organismal, and population biology, while the SAT Biology M exam focuses more on molecular and cellular biology. Students can choose to take either exam depending on their strengths and interests in the field of biology.

Do earthworms use Malpighian tubules?

No. "Malpigian tubules are structures found in insects, like grasshoppers, that aid in excretion. They excrete nitrogenous wastes wastes into the digestive tract and from there, out of the body." -According to the Barron's SAT Biology E/M subject test book. There was a practice question that asked "Which of the following are matched incorrectly?" The correct answer was Malpighian tubules-earthworms.


What differences between Ecoli and pseudomonas sp on MacConkey agar?

On MacConkey agar, a key difference between E. coli and Pseudomonas spp. is their ability to ferment lactose. E. coli ferments lactose, producing pink/red colonies due to acid production. Pseudomonas spp. do not ferment lactose and therefore appear as non-lactose fermenting colonies that are colorless on MacConkey agar.


What is the main difference in cell structure between E. coli and Elodea cell?

The main difference in cell structure between E. coli (a bacterium) and Elodea cells (a plant) is the presence of a distinct nucleus in Elodea cells, which contains the plant's genetic material (DNA) and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. In contrast, E. coli cells do not have a true nucleus, but rather a nucleoid region where the genetic material is located. Additionally, Elodea cells have cell walls made of cellulose, while E. coli cells have a cell membrane and cell wall made of peptidoglycan.


What are are dichotomous keys?

Dichotomous keys are tools used in biology to help identify unknown organisms based on a series of choices between two characteristics. Each choice leads to a new set of characteristics until the specific organism is identified. These keys are often used in fields such as botany, zoology, and ecology.
