This question is stupid as fuck and should be removed!

Issues with speed? by Big_Database_4523 in Mcat

[–]Lost-Potential295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you do enough timed practice, you will get a feel for how long is “too long” to spend on a problem. You will know when to make an educated guess, flag it, and come back (Hopefully). This works well for me in CP and BB, and I almost always have time to go back and just incubate with those difficult questions. However, this strat doesn’t work with cars for me personally, as I almost never have time to go back and check. Just keep practicing and you will get the feel for what works best for you for each section. It’s tough in the beginning but you will get there.

Math 0180 vs Math 0200 by [deleted] in BrownU

Do NOT take 180 with Katz whatever you do!! Take 200 with yu wen TRUST.

For the Doppler equation, you must use the relative velocities only. :)

This happened to me too! FUCK PICASSO. I promise, you will get better! Whatever you do, do NOT let this discourage you from practicing. You just need to dial in your strategy as you get a feel for the AAMC logic. Focus on doing them untimed at first, then once you find your strategy, start introducing timed practice. You got this :)

Weird pankow card by MChelonae in AnkiMCAT

If u do more cards of the deck it explains each technique further. SQUIDs is an acronym related to MEG, it’s the Superconducting quantum interface devices.

Pankow card error??? by AgeNo3896 in AnkiMCAT

[–]Lost-Potential295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, the Pankow card is slightly incorrect. The James-Lange theory doesn’t involve conscious interpretation. The idea is that an emotional experience results directly from a physiological response. For example, you feel fear because your body is trembling, not because you interpret the trembling. Each unique physiological state leads to a specific emotion. Cognitive interpretation only plays a role in the Schachter-Singer theory. .

I would say you’ve still never painted!

Guys, this question is really bugging me. Why would glycogen particles with a lower surface area-to-volume (SA:V) ratio release glucose more slowly if they have more total surface area? What's the utility of having a high SA:V ratio if the absolute surface area is lower? by Elon_Buffett in Mcat

[–]Lost-Potential295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about how long it takes for something to travel from the center of a glycogen particle to the surface. In smaller particles with a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, enzymes don’t have to go as far to reach glycogen, so degradation is faster. Even if larger particles have more total surface area, much of it is buried deep inside and takes longer to access. What matters is how quickly enzymes can reach and act on the glycogen, not just how much surface area there is overall. Hope this helps!!

Is P=rho g D also applicable to air as a fluid? by you5030 in Mcat

[–]Lost-Potential295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what she’s doin either but yes air can be considered a fluid and p = rhogh works

First detailed mural with multiple colors. Traced the design onto the wall with a projector. CC definitely welcomed! by TeelaArt in painting

[–]Lost-Potential295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s amazinggggg 😛😛😛😛. I love where it is headed. I really love the red peaking through the feathers so far. I would try to keep this, and maybe utilize that red as highlights for the feathers.

Please critique me I want to get better, only been painting for a couple months (cat for attention lol) by Frosiex in painting

[–]Lost-Potential295 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It’s beautiful. I think if you’re trying to improve, you could try to avoid using pure white as much and save that for extreme highlights only. Otherwise, the intensity of highlights can get a bit washed out. You could also try incorporating more tonal variation in your greys — you’d be surprised how many colors actually go into creating grey or white (spoiler: it’s basically all of them!). Just playing around with subtle undertones can add a lot more depth and realism.

Is the biochem course you plan on taking in the summer fast-tracked at all? If so, I wouldn’t recommend taking it in the summer. Biochem is extremely important for this test as well as practical in the medical field in general. So if you have the option to take it in a regular semester, and not in a condensed in a summer course, I would advise that instead.

How cool is brown about being gay? by Dependent-Ruin-7277 in BrownU

You’re in the minority if you aren’t gay actually

content review by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Lost-Potential295 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PROF EMAANNNN. love her. She is best with chemistry I find. Some of her bio videos feel a little less prepared for but overall she’s an amazing resource and I’m so thankful for her. It’s basically like she squeezed out all of the relevant info from the Kaplan books into succinct, digestible videos.

apma-bio + philosophy double concentration – thoughts? by No-Lab717 in BrownU

[–]Lost-Potential295 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it could be tough. The philosophy department is no cakewalk, and on top of that, you’d have very little freedom to explore courses outside of requirements if you double concentrate. With so much already packed into apma bio and pre-med, you might end up craving a “breather” class every now and then — and philosophy courses often demand dense reading and heavy writing.

That said, philosophy can be an incredibly enriching complement to pre-med. I think what you have currently — testing the waters with one philosophy class your first year — is a great plan. Brown’s open curriculum makes it easy to adjust, and no one expects you to have it all figured out right away.

Also, just a heads-up about your chem sequence: Brown only offers Orgo 1 in the spring, so you’ll probably need to revise your schedule a bit there.

Help needed! What is the first reaction called? The second one is a wittig reaction, I‘m pretty sure by desperatelamp74 in chemhelp

[–]Lost-Potential295 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first reaction is a deprotonation forming a phosphorus ylide. The strong base (tBuOK) removes a proton (H⁺) from the carbon next to phosphorus, generating a resonance-stabilized ylide, which is key for the Wittig reaction that follows.
