FL 5 AAMC MCAT question with
complete solution 2023
What is the chemical structure of a component found in four of the five cofactors used by Na+-NQR? -
correct answer says it is composed of flavin
structure is a nucleotide base
structure B could be
structure C also could be
structure D is an amino acid
down between B and C
to help, look at the captioned note on the table. it says Fl represents flavin which is the redox active
center in four of the five cofactors of Na+-NQR
C has an ubiquinone AND HERE IS IS MENTIONED THAT UNIQUINONE IS IS A SUBSTATE
What is the ratio of cation to enzyme in the spectroelectrochemical experiments described in the
passage? - correct answer cation : enzyme
passage says Na+NQR was diluted to a final concentration of 0.75 mM in 0.150 molar of the cation ions
cation .15 M:
The reaction between NADH and ubiquinone is exergonic, but the reaction, when catalyzed by Na+-NQR,
does not generate much heat in vivo. What factor accounts for this difference? - correct answer
Conservation of energy, it is not created nor destroyed but merely changes forms
A. Is not possible, Even if it was heat generation would be larger for a catalyzed rection.
C. is impossible, reactants have to be close together to react
The movement of a charged particle against its concentration gradient is energetically costly.
Two open flasks I and II contain different volumes of the same liquid. Suppose that the pressure is
measured at a point 10 cm below the surface of the liquid in each container. How will the pressures
compare? - correct answer pressure=pgh
,g=10
p= density (same liquid so same density)
h= 10 cm
both have same height so pressure will be the same-- if heights were different pressure would be
different
Question
Which of the following substances is polar? - correct answer If there is a net dipole it is polar
Question
If all else is held constant, which of the following changes would NOT double the volume of a gas? -
correct answer pv=nrt
What is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom used to produce laser radiations? - correct
answer 86Kr+ laser
86= mass
Kr has proton number as 36
86-36=50
the cation or anion charge with any element is indicative of the charge aka electron count
What is the molecular formula of the heterocyclic aromatic compound pyrrole? - correct answer passage
says its a tetra pyrrole so there are 4 carbons
The radiation of wavelength 605 nm CANNOT be used to produce the fluorescence radiations depicted in
Figure 3 because: - correct answer Maybe if you read the passage for once in your life and not get
confident then maybe you wouldn't have to take the exam for a third time
Not D because look at the passage
not C because of E=hc/lambda (high wavelength low energy)
, Approximately how many moles of Kr+ are contained in the laser tube at 0°C and 1 atm? - correct answer
Have to recognize STP conditions of 0 C and 1 atm (22.4 L)
Volume in PV=nrt is in L
1cm^3=1mL
The CD spectroscopy signal that was used to generate the data in Figure 1 arises from the chirality of the:
- correct answer look for what is chiral
B is not
C is not
D- most beta carbons are not chiral
Samples from various time points of the proteolysis of TPMTwt were subjected to SDS-PAGE under
reducing conditions. Which figure best depicts the expected appearance of the gel? - correct answer -
For proteolysis, the protein is expected to be broken up over time
- Small fragments will travel faster in the SDS-PAGE
A and B show that they are building up or oligermizing
If the combined mass of the TPMT substrate and cofactor was determined before the enzymatically
catalyzed reaction and then compared to the combined mass of the product and the cofactor after the
reaction, the net change in molecular weight will be: - correct answer Passage says that TPMT is an
enzyme (methyltransferase)
can also think about the conservation of mass
balance equation on products and reactants
The structure of Compound 2 is shown.
Compound 2
What structural feature(s) is(are) most important to the functioning of this compound as described in
the passage? - correct answer - Compound 2 helped extract the receptor
- Receptor is MPR (progesterone) steroid is hydrophobic so probably has to do someting with that
