2021年度IGEM竞赛的结果已经出了,有错过这场考试的小伙伴想知道2022上半年有没有还有没有同类的biology比赛,那大家可以关注下4月份考试的USABO生物竞赛,(也叫BIO USACN)。考好它,也能助力G5藤校之路哟。
USABO生物竞赛含金量
美国生物奥赛的主办方为美国CEE为挑选和培训生物奥赛国家队参加世界生物奥林匹克竞赛 (IBO)。美国生物奥赛成为美国学术性和影响力兼备的理工科竞赛之一,每年超过 10000 名美国孩子参加。
2016 年,ASDAN 中国办公室与 CEE 合作,首次将美国生物奥赛引入中国。2020年,共有239所国际高中和重点中学的学生代表参加该项赛事。
💫 竞赛优势
作为IBO美国预选赛,赛事难度和含金量都较高,在国际相关领域内的认可度也不容小觑。
部分知识点涵盖大学课程,出题难度也高于高中生物课程水平,备考学习经历能够帮助学孩子更好地应对biology课程。
对于计划申请医学、生物医学、生物基因的相关学科的申请者,在高中阶段能够在美国生物奥赛中取得优异成绩的,无疑增加了极大的申请优势。
📚 考试范围
USABO生物竞赛考试内容基本包含了美国生物课程的所有内容:细胞生物学、植物解剖学及生理学、动物解剖学及生理学、动物行为学、遗传与进化、生态学、生物分类学。
⚠ 竞赛规则
个人形式参赛,英语卷笔试,不设施实验考试。需要完成50道选择题,考试时长为50分钟。
📆 竞赛时间
报名截止时间:2022年3月30日

3.Which of the following correctly describes how the lifespan of a protein is regulated?
A.The part of the sequence coded for by the UTR tags it for destruction.

cell for a certain time.
