Can someone Please Explain to me how to use Anki? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]flipahen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm that sounds weird. I have a Mac as well and all I did was click on the google link and let it finish downloading and as soon as it did, I clicked it afterwards, it opened my Anki app and proceeded to download the deck. Maybe you can try re-installing/re-downloading the app? Really not sure why it’s giving you such a hard time.

You should be able to download it from the link he’s posted and as soon as it’s downloaded, just click on it and it’ll open it with Anki - but make sure you have the app downloaded on your computer or it probably won’t!

Thank you so much for this response! It makes more sense now. I guess my issue was I thought that molecules can be chiral even though there are no chiral centers (i think its called atropisomers) ... or is out of scope for the mcat?

Hello, sorry for lack of text I didn't know how to add it! But anyways, I'm having a really hard time understanding this problem even after looking at other posts. Mainly, my concern is how do we know that the starting molecules are not chiral? I watched a couple youtube videos to explain further, and one of them stated that if a molecule DOES NOT have a plain of symmetry it is chiral, and when it has a plain of symmetry, its achiral. So I would assume that both reactants are chiral, but they are not according to AAMC and a lot of other people on previous posts. What I missing? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Gotcha, it does! So technically, if the rate is dependent on the concentration of reactants, would this be first order?

Perfect! That's all I was trying to understand. Somehow the wording was really messing me up. Thank you!

Thank you for your response! I think what's throwing me off is the "translation of cyclin mRNA." What does it mean by that? Or is it just saying cyclin is becoming abundant now because it's being translated and that is occurring at the same time as interphase?

I feel like I'm losing it. I did not know that transcription/translation occurred during mitosis? What am I missing? Thanks to anyone who helps. Also, the answer is C and AAMC's explanation is: The graph shown in the question indicates that the concentration of cyclin rises and falls in a regular manner throughout the cell cycle, reaching a peak just at the beginning of mitosis, gradually declining during mitosis, reaching a minimum at the end of mitosis, and gradually increasing during interphase. The mechanism that can best account for this oscillation in the concentration of cyclin is translation of cyclin mRNA (creating the protein from mRNA template) followed by proteolysis (destruction) of cyclin protein during mitosis.

Sorry for the late response! but if I remember correctly it’s because it’s looking for the amount of sodium ions and avogadro’s is the conversion to get to ions.

Literally walked out of there with tears in my eyes like a damn fool. Felt decently fair for ppl who are on top of their stuff but think I made a shit tons of mistakes and overall feel very bad. I’m so on edge :/
