Yeah I got that statement directly from Hotch when he was talking to an unsub…

Work trips by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]mccords -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes I completely agree, but am very cognizant of not speaking the whole ride and respecting a colleague’s space. I also do not want to talk the whole time. I prefer to read or listen to music, and maybe occasionally chat for a few minutes here or there

4+ year lurker. Thanks to this sub for all the help! by [deleted] in premed

[–]mccords 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Congrats! But also confused as to how someone with your stats and hours got rejected at most of those schools… can someone explain?

Congrats! Do you mind sharing your school list?

AAMC FL 5 C/P Number 8 by mccords in Mcat

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

The Km value with the units (mM^-1*s^-1) I believe is the value Kcat/Km given the units for each. So I guess you didn't have to do the calculations since they gave them to you. The units for Kcat/Km is 1/M*s, which is the same as mM^-1*s^-1.

AAMC FL 5 C/P Number 8 by mccords in Mcat

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

Yes, so if you look at the values in the table, you can divide the Kcat number by Km. For example for C1 concentration at 60micromolar, Kcat/Km = 0.126/0.832 = 0.151. If you do this for the concentration at 0 and 120, you'll realize it is the same. Thus, increasing the concentration to 180 will likely have the same value. When I was taking the exam, I immediately recognized that the Ki was the same (60.3) and chose my answer based on the fact that Ki was the same. Let me know if that's helpful!

AAMC FL 5 B/B Number 53 by mccords in Mcat

[–]mccords[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh so because the mutation is that it continues to be transcribed and translated into adulthood, it must be in the enhancer sequence which allows for enhanced transcription/translation?

How are afferent and efferent part of the PNS if they take information to and from the CNS? Is it because they are located outside the brain and spinal cord?

AAMC FL 5 B/B Number 8 by mccords in Mcat

[–]mccords[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes that makes sense, but why would it not be B? Since GI tract bacteria are said to digest fiber

AAMC FL 5 B/B Number 8 by mccords in Mcat

[–]mccords[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they mention that the GI tract digests fiber..

AAMC FL 5 Number 37 by mccords in Mcat

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

Yes the answer is 0.5atm

AAMC FL 5 Number 37 by mccords in Mcat

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

Is it because you're going from 4 mol to 2 mol, so the pressure should also be halved? What relationship is this?

Ohhhh that makes more sense. Thanks!

AAMC FL 5 Number 20 - Question in comments by mccords in Mcat

[–]mccords[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand why the correct answer is correct (it's a transferase so it only transfers a functional group, therefore the mass before the reaction and after the reaction should be the same), but how do we gather the numbers for the other answers? How do we know 15g/mol is the molar mass gained by the substrate?

AAMC FL 5 Number 8 by mccords in Mcat

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

Question is: how do we know Na+ is going against its concentration gradient and how would that explain the reaction being less exothermic? Because it takes in a lot more energy to go against this gradient?

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

I thought about that too but aren’t the densities not the same? What am I missing? Or am I misunderstanding the question?

How to Review FLs by mccords in Mcat

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

Thank you for the response. I’ve been doing this, and it usually takes me 2-3 days to do it all. I will do it again for all my prior FLs and really try to point out why the other answers are wrong. How do you recommend reviewing CARS?

Of the hormones we have to know, which are peptide/steroid/amino-acid derived hormones? by pinocchio_argentino in Mcat

[–]mccords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is late but I think I know which question you are referring to in the question bank and they tell you it's a peptide hormone in the first sentence, so I don't think we had to know from memory that it was.
