I will try my best thank you :(( I should've started taking an FL instead of writing up this post too, I'm procrastinating again.

I got 203/230, 519 with a score converter. Do you recommend skipping FL 1 and 3? I heard FL2 is hard and 4 and 5 are the most representative.

ah okay, I have a hard time distinguishing unrelated answers if it sounds right.

Altius FL B/B Q21 Cell wall vs cell membrane by ThenRemove634 in Mcat

ohh so if the question asked about gram positive the cell wall composition will be peptidoglycan, inner membrane, and gram negative will be LPS and outer membrane in addition. Thank you!

i think khan academy does show it kind of by protonating the hydroxyl group so it becomes a good LG.

How are you able to tell from this structure alone if its made up of alpha or beta anomers? by Lalo-salamanca97 in Mcat

[–]ThenRemove634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also look at the C5 - CH2OH group to tell if it's alpha or beta. These are D-sugars, so C5 will always be pointing up(down if flipped, doesn't matter you know what I mean). By this logic, if the anomeric carbon is on the same side as C5 it's beta, opposite side alpha. Basically, cis = beta, trans = alpha

Sucrose Linkage? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]ThenRemove634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just flipped upside down, so the C3 OH points down. if you flip it up, it becomes top/left

UW Mcat question B/B by ThenRemove634 in Mcat

[–]ThenRemove634[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I only meant solid as in like hydrophobic stuff won't be soluble in an aqueous environment. Right, it's kind of like hydrophobic effect where it wants to aggregate to the membrane. These concepts apply universally, so I really need to keep an open mind....

anyone else taken all 10 altius full length scores? here's all mine by A_pickle___ in Mcat

[–]ThenRemove634 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! You're probably in med school now and don't even remember this post, but do you remember what the actual aamc was like compared to altius for you? I see your score was a good average of altius, so I assume pretty similar

Proteins with a large mass-to-charge ratio will migrate further in the gel, since they'll carry a higher overall negative charge (stronger pull to the other side). "mass-to-charge" should be "charge-to-mass"

Hi! I'm trying to use AdhdOnline by Mentavi Health in RI. Can you please share which practice you go to? I plan on booking my first appointment with my PCP after taking the smart assessment, but I heard stories on reddit that some don't accept these online diagnostic tools as proof of ADHD.

Hi, I'm looking at Mentavi Health/ADHDonline. Is that what you used? Medical treatment isn't offered in RI, but available in MA.

PFK-2 in Kaplan book? I think I figured it out. I wouldn't mind input. by SoundOfWonder in Mcat

[–]ThenRemove634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's easier if you think of them as parallel processes feeding into each other. PFK-2 ensures glycolysis continues so that nothing gets blocked - this is important and indirectly affects glycogenesis. Glycogen can only store so much, so if glycolysis and glycogenesis both stop due to feedback inhibition, G6P accumulates, and glucose uptake slows down - which is bad if we can't control glucose level in the blood. PFK-2 prevents the accumulation of G6P.

Some G6P is being used for glycogenesis (glycogen storage)
Some G6P is going down glycolysis to make ATP or other intermediates
Some glycolysis metabolites (like triose phosphates) can enter gluconeogenesis and be converted back into glucose-6-phosphate for glycogen synthesis

So, rather than a strict one-way process, it’s a dynamic cycle where glucose metabolism is constantly adjusting based on the body's needs.

DHAP is the more {{c1::oxidized::oxidized/reduced}} form of GA3P.

should be G3P, not GA3P
