MCAT Chem/PhysGenerally, how are proteins formed? The connecting of a string of amino acids via peptide bonds and the folding of this string to create a completed protein. The folding is determined primarily by the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic nature of the amino acids. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, and other intramolecular forces. Peptide (Amide) Bonds These are formed when the n-terminus of one amino acid attacks the carboxy terminus of another amino acid. Water is ...

AAMC Exam 4 FL ReviewLimestone does NOT decompose when heated to 900 K because, at 900 K, ΔH is: A. positive and less than TΔS. B. positive and greater than TΔS. C. negative and less than TΔS. D. negative and greater than TΔS. - correct answer B. positive and greater than TΔS., the reaction does not occur, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS > 0. From inspection of the reaction, it can be concluded that ΔS > 0 (a gas evolves). Consequently, ΔH > TΔS explains why the reaction does not occ...

MCAT 2023Phase Diagram - correct answer a graph showing the conditions at which a substance exists as a solid, liquid, or vapor a line separates the regions that correspond to the solid and liquid phases. For most substances, since the solid phase is denser than the liquid, this line has a positive slope. This indicates that it is possible to convert the liquid substance into solid by increasing pressure. Since the opposite is true for water, however, the line between these regions has a nega...

Fl5 AAMC [511][Incorrect - Misread the least likely and started backwards so assumed that it wanted the most likely] Question 2 - Passage 1 Based on Figure 1, which patient is LEAST likely to benefit from therapy with immunosuppressors? A patient whose transplanted kidneys are associated with miRNA expression patterns characterized by: A. high levels of miR-155 B. low levels of let-7c. C. high levels of miR-30a-3p. D. low levels of miR-10b. - correct answer C. Least likely to b...

MCAT Psych/Sociology from 132 ScorerBiopsychosocial approach to health and illness - correct answer Illness is determined by a variety of influences, rather than a single cause. The causes and effects of illness can be examined at multiple levels in the life of an individual, and no single level provides the whole picture. Collecting info about psychosocial context is key to the understanding of physical health and illness. Biomedical approach to health and illness - correct answer Disease is...

Question 2 During well-women visits for 21- to 29-year-old sexually-active women who report more than 1 sex partner within the past 6 months, all of the following are appropriate screening tests except: Question options: 1) Pap smear. 2) ...

Next Step FL 5 C/P1. If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher than the rest of the baseball field, at what height would the catcher need to hold his glove to catch the pitched ball? (Note: neglect air resistance, estimate the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, and assume the pitcher is only throwing the ball horizontally.) A. 2.0 m above the ground B. 1.8 m above the ground C. 0.5 m above the g...

Practice Test Missed Questions - AAMC New Exam 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? (Note: The arrow indicates the movement of the protein through the gel.) (Chem/Phys, Question #19) Graph (D) As is consistent with proteolysis -- the number of lower molecular weight bands will increase with time and the original protein band at the highest mole...
