MCAT AAMC REVIEW NOTES.
Pressure (fluid) - Answers-pgh
density x g x change in height
Nearsighted (myopic) - Answers-Diverging lens; image is focused in front of retina
Farsighted (hyperopia) - Answers-Converging lens; image is focused beyond the retina
Index - Answers-Speed of air (Vair) / Speed of medium (Vmedium)
Ratio of h(image) to h(object) - Answers-f of image/ f of object
Ratio of O/I distance = Ratio of O/I height
Mass of O/mass of submerged - Answers-density of O/ density of fluid
Mass of O = 15, Mass of fluid loss = 5
15/5 = 3 = ratio of density of O/density of fluid
density of fluid = 0.7 -> density of O = 0.7 x 3 = 2.1
Hydrostatic pressure - Answers-The pressure at the bottom of a tube of height h filled
with liquid of density = pgh due to the weight of the liquid.
Speed of a WAVE - Answers-v=f(lamda)
Unknown O = 31.6N
Apparent weight = 19.8N
specific gravity of sample? - Answers-Unknown O force / Liquid displaced force
32N / (32N-20N) = 32/12 = 8/3 = 2.66
Apoptosis - Answers-Cytochrome C release from MT
Cell shrinkage and blebbing
Caspase activation
Specific activity of a protein - Answers-Measure of the enzyme units per mg of total
protein in a solution
Provides a measure of the purity of an enzymatic mixture
Disruption of 2 S-S bond - Answers-2 molecules of NADH (reducing agent)
, Sociological concept of Medicalization - Answers-A problem becomes described in
medical terminology and treated by medical professions
Behavior problem (alcoholism) becomes described and treated as a medical condition
when it was not previously conceived in that way
Social stigma - Answers-an attribute that is devalued
Derived from symbolic interactionist perspective in sociology and calls attention to how
certain individuals or groups face social disapproval. Often, the social disapproval is
associated with a behavior, identity, or other attribute that is considered deviant by
others
Looking-glass self - Answers-Self concept as a product of social interaction, emerging
out of the way an individuals perceives others to view him or her
More than the product of self-reflection
The way in which people see themselves is based on how they believe others perceive
them during social interaction
Social epidemiology - Answers-The social determinants of health and disease
Dramaturgical approach to social interaction - Answers-An individual will modify his or
her front stage self in response to the perceived audience
Dramaturgical approach - Answers-Front stage self
back stage self
Impression management
Communication
Validity - Answers-to the extent to which a measure reflects the phenomenon being
studied
Role strain - Answers-Stress experienced from contradictory demands of the same
social role
Ex) physician
demand of extending life with interventions while accepting the reality of death
Ethnographic research - Answers-Observing social interactions in real social setting
Actor-observer bias - Answers-Actor's tendency to explain his/her own behavior by
situational factors whereas the observer tends to explain the actor's behavior by internal
stable traits
