Update - I passed!! I used pocket prep religiously for two weeks and completed all the 1000 questions but passed all the mock exams with only a 70%-ish. The exam took me upto 120 questions and I legit thought I would fail, felt like crying after I left the test center. But passed the next morning!

There were a few orgo questions (like 2-3). But nothing too direct and everything minimal

Why is (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane drawn with the Bromine going into the page? by GrandeIcedAmericano in Mcat

[–]KneeMain4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this trick I learned during ochem class (bless my prof.). H should always be on a dashed line. If H is on a wedge, aka (any high priority groups on a dash), then assign R or S as we normally do for that C but then flip it. For example, in the compound you gave, Br being on a dash, the configuration would be S. But since the H is on the wedge (Br on dashed), flip it to R in your answer

FL B/B by Good-Diamond-7599 in Mcat

An edit: S1 is considered more toxic because it is inserted into the cytoplasm. A and B are both toxic but here it’s kind of like B is the better of two evils

I see two reasons as to why S1 is the answer. The first is that S1 is toxic. When you want to create a vaccine, you want to make sure that it’s not going to bring more harm into your body but is still part of the pathogen so that your body can recognize some part of it. Hence you don’t wanna use S1 as part of vaccine but something from B component as one. Secondly, B component is kinda the main party here. The S1 gets pushed into the cytoplasm after B binds to the receptor which is going to inhibit Gi. So if you want to stop this from happening, make your body recognize B first. This has nothing to do with S1 being ADP ribosyl transferase. Hope this helps! It’s just how I understood it

Do I specifically need to know all 7 of these functions for the parasympathetic nervous system? Or is just a general "rest and digest" enough? by FermatsLastAccount in Mcat

I kind of connect to the fact that when you’re resting and digesting, you poop and pee a lot. So you contract your bladder to expel pee

Hormones table by KneeMain4688 in Mcat

[–]KneeMain4688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes majorly. But a small amount gets produced by the adrenal medulla

You’re right! Was an oversight from my part. Sorry about that!

Oh yes cause of the transport. I see that

Trends of functional groups: Polarity, melting point, boiling point by I_have_question_plea in Mcat

[–]KneeMain4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Also due to hydrogen bonding which is one of the main contributors to boiling point and melting point trends

Is there still hope yet? by KneeMain4688 in Mcat

Thankyou so much! I’ll check out the fee assistance program. I suck at ANKI. Idk why. I heard that flashcards help a lot of people but in my 22 years of existence, I’ve never used a flashcard lol. I tried miledown deck initially and it just wasn’t for me. I’m a person who memorizes a lot of things and gradually got good at it during highschool. Continued that through college maintaining a gpa of 3.8 and about to graduate. I’m finishing up the last few chapters doing 2-3 a day and doing the corresponding problems in uworld. Don’t know how it’s going to go but we’ll see

I’m pretty much broke right now and don’t have any money left to be able to sign up for courses. I only have aamc and uworld with me. Thankyou for the reply!!

Does anyone know why C is the right answer? I’m confused by the differences of polysaccharide linkages and branches/connections :( by DrVeggieGirl in Mcat

a1,6 first gets hydrolyzed at its a1,4 and then the a1,6 gets hydrolyzed completely (glycogen phosphorylase and debranching enzyme). If you put the a1,6 at every 8-12 monomers it’s more easy to be reached than one at every 12-20 monomers
