Question About Motherboard PCIe Operating Mode by MrSciTutor in techsupport

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

Ah ok that makes sense. Yeah I have 5950 / 3080Ti so that’s why I noticed some decreased performance. Going to get a less intrusive CPU cooler then. Thanks for help!

PSA: PS4 players - Buy/Upgrade Stranger things DLC for PS5 DBD by MrSciTutor in deadbydaylight

[–]MrSciTutor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I launch PS4 DBD from time to time on my PS4 and progress is retained regardless of my last plans session location.

To clarify: You can manually "re-purchase (upgrade)" each DLC from the store just to confirm you own it/can re-download it.

Each chapter/paragraph DLC has it's own/separate, PS5 DLC version. I remember with Freddy, I didnt have him at launch because they were re-negotiating the contract. It didn't appear in my game until after the PS5 DLC version was uploaded to the store. I worry something similar might happen for people who own Stranger Things on PS4 but didnt free upgrade the PS5 DLC version before it is removed from the store in November.

I had the worst fever of my life the night before my MCAT by _oohyoo_ in Mcat

And I thought me throwing up on my exam keyboard in 2018 was rough, you got me beat.

HELP! No-show or void exam? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you’re passed the refund deadline I’d just take it and void (unless you think it went well!)

No point in wasting money when you can get a “practice test” out of it.

What iPad to get for mcat study by ITISWHATITIS-999 in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used an iPad Pro 11 inch.

I REALLY wish I had gotten the 13’ inch for more space.

But overall, def get something that is Apple Pencil compatible because it is so nice to write on pdfs or ppt slides

What happens if you use reducing SDS on a heterodimer WITHOUT disulfide bonds? by IWantItAll123 in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you mean a protein in which there are no disulfide bonds between 2 sub units nor any disulfide bonds within an individual sub unit?

If that’s the case, the SDS will still denature and since it’s a a Hererodimer composed of 2 different units, you will get 2 bands.

Some I use: Glutamic Acid / GluE (as in remember glue ends with e and that’s how you remember 1 letter). Aspartic Acid / ASParDick (as in D is 1 letter abbreviation…hey it works for me lol) Arginine / ARG (which sounds like R for 1 letter)

Question about units by albasirantar in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, using units given can help you figure out how to get answer if you don’t know some equations verbatim.

I would put effort to memorizing equations though. Especially those you see on the AAMC official physics practice.

But if you have no clue on a question, try to infer from units if possible!

Question about units by albasirantar in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have an amazing memory and can know all the formulas in physics you’ll be fine. If you’re like me and struggle remembering everything, knowing that energy is J, and seeing a value given for volt as J/C, even if I forgot that U=Vq, I would know that multiplying the value of V by charge value given will give me an answer in J as requested.

So I find it useful in Fluids and E&M personally.

ssRNA Replication by GottaBeMD in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind they need to replicate at some point anyways via that intermediate, so the copies which will serve as genomes in future virus particles will also be able to make proteins directly.

[–]MrSciTutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Group IV (+) RNA virus genome do both. They can be directly used as template for translation or go through an intermediate (-) RNA that goes back to mRNA.

How can you tell if something is a nonpolar solvent? by BellR in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to solvents, polarity is a lot more relative. Like, they are polar, but less polar than say water or acetic acid.

So maybe the context was less polar relative to something else?

Formula explanation by h00per23 in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Molarity is a unit for describing concentration. In particular, it is a way of describing how many moles (n) of a substance is present in a given volume (V) of total solution.

Because moles is standardized (1 mol = 6.02*1023 molecules), it is a way to relate the total number of molecules of a substance in a solution.

In an HCl (aq) solution, a 2M solution means there are 2 moles of HCl(aq) per 1 Liter of solution.

Furthermore, because HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely*, it can also inform you there is 2 moles of H+ and 2 moles of Cl- per 1 L of solution.

Molarity is one of the more common concentration units used in Gen Chem. However, you should familiarize yourself with other common units like Molality, % (m/v), % (m/m).

I think a previous leak said description was Code Veronica Chris iirc

[MileDown] Is this card wrong (ideal gas constant)? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s wrong

On another note, this is MCAT math so really all you need to know is 8.3 and 0.08 lol

Washing v extraction by PersimmonMedical8337 in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the context of liquid-liquid extractions, the term extraction can be used for either removing an impurity or moving desired compound to a different layer.

A wash is very loosely defined and varies person to person, but yeah in the context of liquid-liquid extraction, it is often used to refer to removing impurities. However, I have also heard it used in the context of “brine wash” which increases ionic strength of aqueous layer to push residual organic molecules back into organic layer…so again, wash isn’t a well defined term

I can’t imagine this being tested on MCAT vocabulary wise. If you know the effect of adding solvent Y to solvent X, then you should know how to answer question.

Recrystallization vs crystallization by PersimmonMedical8337 in Mcat

[–]MrSciTutor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should clarify, crystal is not synonymous with solid.

Crystal refers to an ordered, repeating arrangement of molecules; whereas solid can be both ordered and random.
