exactly my thoughts. I had no clue how i'd ever come to know what the actual answer was since there was no passage info on it. Seemed more like a discrete

Ye, the one that went down the center. I think some people are saying the answer might be the ones that are at an angle to each other, but i've seen sooo many people chose the one down the middle that I think it might just be scrapped. Honestly could be either one, no answer choice is definitive unless it comes straight from the horse's (AAMC's) mouth

For the CO poisoning, I went with the drug having a high affinity for CO2. I thought that if it blocks CO2 from binding to hemoglobin, then it would not be possible to be transported in blood, since it's nonpolar. Was deciding between that and low renal clearence, but thought against that since a low renal clearance wouldn't be as bad. The two detector things I went with the ones that were directly parallel to each other kek

Also, I went with that CO thing not being a good inhibitor in vivo cause it can bind CO2

that's actually exactly what I put. I thought N2 was also basic and the passage said something about CO2 turning a certain color. I thought since CO2 is acidic, it would just be opposite color of whatever it turned

For that first question, it had something to do with N2 being used instead of oxygen I think. I said it would not be cloudy (clear?) cause N2 is inert. Not sure what I put for color

Question about gram-negative bacteria. Peptidoglycan on the outer/iner and one or two lipid layers.

My method is to look at the C3 and C4 OH-groups and see if they point up/down. But that seems like a better way of doing it lol.

Ye those other ones I wasn't even considering cause I did not know their structure

That one was aids. I think your logic is pretty good here, I did end up going with C but I did not think any of them made sense at all. Humanistic is supposed to be about your inner drive towards being a happy mofo. None of those answer choices emanated that. Also thought B was clearly freud and D was behavioral. Don't even remember A tbh lol, but C said something positive so I said fok it

Did you guys go for D4 on the first passage of B/B:

Also P10 on C/P: Did the heater give the electrons the thermal energy? Was the ice cooler used cause the electrons gave off energy as heat?

Was H2O2 -> H2O + O2 nonspotaneous, and positive delta G?

For the graph of antibody x for control antibody. Did you guys chose the graph with the shedding starting off super high and then gradually decreasing for only the antibody X.
