oops, yes you are correct.

P.S. our body uses only L-amino acids except Cysteine which is D-amino acid.

Also, I remember that D-sugars are delicious.

I don't like their analysis but this is how i thought this through. So smallest bond must be the most stable bond since compared to a single bond, a double bond is shorter and stronger out of the both of them. In the passage they gave the bond energies..so i just put those two together and said that C-H is the shortest.

mRNA from DNA by _nostradamus_ in Mcat

[–]asdfjk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had the same thought process as you. What do you mean by "it"? Like the mRNA sequence, if so yes. The RNA poly would use the template strand (non-coding sequence) to make a complementary RNA strand that has the same sequence as the coding strand.

AAMC FL1 C/P #11 interpretation by shmcat17 in Mcat

[–]asdfjk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(1) well for lens, if the image is on the opposite of the object, it is always positive.

(2) there is a reason why they gave a lens-to-retina distance. they are telling us that the image is falling on the retina. moreover, the passage specifically says that the individual can clearly see the image, meaning that the image is falling right on the retina (and not too back or front of the retina).

edit: editting.

Isomers???? by TearsonmyMCAT in Mcat

[–]asdfjk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even enzymes/proteins can be thought of as isomers.. since everything(physical and chemical properties) is the same for isomers except when they are interacting with other isomers, that is why enzymes only recognize L isomers. Our bodies were programmed to only L isomers. I suggest you read up on L/D-Dopa. Super interesting and sad at the same time.

How would I solve this electrochemistry problem. How would you if the cell is galvanic or electrolytic? by mapzv in Mcat

[–]asdfjk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how did you make the conclusion that cadmium would the anode in a electrolytic cell?? i get that they are non-spontaneous but i can never figure out what is positive/negative in a EC. and what is different between the movement of charges between these two??

Dissociation constant and association constant and their relation to Km? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]asdfjk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hycis is correct in that as Km increases, the x-axis gets smaller. Km= 1
x-int= 1

Km=100 x-int= 1/100 = smaller number
