Your BCP is the most exclusive of the two: it only calculates your gpa in biology, chemistry, and physics courses. Your science gpa is more inclusive and includes the above three categories plus mathematics and other coursework classified as science but doesn't fall in the category biology.

hey i got a question. Since i was AP'd out of college physics so i m not going to plan on taking another phsycis, how will this work in the BCP gpa calculations??

Each of those courses fall under one of the three categories in the BCP calculation and are included in your science one as well. If you have a question about a class look to the department under which it is listed - zoology falls under biology, and so on.

I'm not sure about AP physics and how it would/might fulfill the physics requirement at dental schools. My gut tells me 'no' although I would check with the schools you are applying to in order to get a straight answer.

I believe it is counted in your science gpa.
