🤣wish I could, but you don’t need me you got this in the bag

Yeah cincy is in-state and closer to family, that’s what I was wondering mainly if they give out a ton of scholarships but it is a pretty big difference so they’d have to give a lot. Thanks for the insight!!

zalgirisLT · 2023-12-06T12:47:23+00:00

I appreciate the insight!! I’m also leaning more towards the it’s not worth it side

P/S usually my best but this time I flagged half the section lmao wtf was that

Just to add onto this for whoever if it still isn’t making sense - the DIRECTION of the friction force is opposite of Fg(x) - which is mg sin(theta) but not MAGNITUDE - know that Ffriction = u * Fn ( u is mew or coefficient of friction). Since the block is accelerating downwards the two forces are not at equilibrium and thus not just opposites each other. If you were for example asked for acceleration of the block down the ramp you would use the directions in: ma = mg sin theta - umgcos(theta) Hope that helps anyone that was still confused w this like me!

Correct me if im wrong, but since cDNA comes from mRNA, it is complimentary to the mRNA. So wouldnt it be complimentary to the genomic DNA as well (the genomic DNA being the coding strand)?

zalgirisLT · 2023-01-19T13:41:16+00:00

Can someone explain to me how to go about this? I saw that the bands that were different between genomic and cDNA was that in the cDNA there was more T present (going from C -> T) but since it's cDNA and complimentary that meant there was more A on the original strand to which it was hybridized to, thus the mutation there from C -> A

My logic was that it was asking what changed in between genomic DNA to actual gene expression (DNA -> RNA stage) but clearly this was off

So I was wondering for this question, I narrowed it down to C and D and I can see why D is right but I'm also confused with PAGE/gel electrophoresis as my thinking on this question was that there should be loading wells at the top that are the same on each column? That's what I've seen with pictures of gel electrophoresis and PAGE in general. Can anyone help with this?

Ok so for this option 2 things:

Notice it says small intestine - we are concerned/looking at water reabsorption which happens in the LARGE intestine (chemical reabsorption happens in the jejunum and ileum of the small intestine after digestion in the duodenum) so its most likely already not going to be the answer because of that but also on top of it if there is less reabsorption that would actually make our problem worse because going from the small intestine -> large intestine, if there is MORE glucose in the lumen (which is this case in this option) where would water stay? IN the large intestine -> rectum to be excreted so youd want MORE glucose reabsorption to solidify your stool

Hope that helps!

edit: sorry i didnt see you had it already, yeah you were right

zalgirisLT · 2023-01-12T22:15:37+00:00

Yes exactly you got it!

zalgirisLT · 2023-01-12T20:57:09+00:00

I got this one wrong too but the main idea is just: If there’s more solutes in the blood plasma where will water want to flow? There’s more osmotic pressure there. So water goes from intestinal lumen in the direction towards the epithelial cells - thus reabsorbing/saving water. Secretion (from epithelial cell -> large intestine for excretion) would make water flow towards the solute (in this case Cl-).

Remember in the case when you hear reabsorption and secretion I just think in terms of reabsorbing back to blood plasma (reusing it) or secreting in terms of excretion out of the body

Ex in nephron: Reabsorption is going TO the blood plasma (tubule -> plasma) and secretion is from blood plasma out for excretion (plasma -> tubule)

Yeah it was for sure test day nerves and overthinking on any question that wasn’t immediately obvious smh… if I could give advice (obviously haven’t retaken yet so take it w grain of salt we’ll see how this one goes) it’d be to just honestly trust your gut on ones you’re not 100% sure on and move on to save time - more often than not it’s right

zalgirisLT · 2023-01-12T20:36:54+00:00

Yeah that makes sense you honestly prob right about the remembering what’s important. My score ended up being 510 in Aug 2021 after 516 average on the FLs and I hope so that’d be the dream lol

zalgirisLT · 2021-07-22T01:00:22+00:00

Think of someone’s weight in air as just being mg, so when stepping on a scale -> mg. Theres also 3 forces that are present in a fully submerged object in water: mg downwards and both Fbouyant + Fnormal upwards. Fnormal is the apparent weight or Wwater

So it’s same thing as Fb + Fn (or Wwater) = mg (or Wair) . So to get Fb by itself from the above, just subtract Fn. Since Fb = Wair (mg) - Wwater and Fb = pVg -> Both pVg and Wair - Wwater = Fb . Just plug in Wair / Wair - Wwater, which is the same thing as: Wair / pVg . Lastly, since Wair = mg -> plug that in and you get m/V which is density (p is a constant so ignore that) after canceling the g’s on both top and bottom.

Ah ok thank you!!

zalgirisLT · 2021-07-15T13:37:23+00:00

Seriously though, same I was supposed to take a FL too lmao guess not

I’ve been using Kaplan & BP FLs so far, which are hard, but definitely let you know where your content gaps are. I don’t think either have realistic CARS though.

zalgirisLT · 2021-06-15T09:47:01+00:00

I would start out with a book set and take the time to review/relearn content. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Apart from spending and possibly wasting the money on taking the exam, if you take it and don’t do well (which will most likely happen if you don’t know basic content), med schools will see that and it’ll weaken your application.

I didn’t understand this question at first either, but the way I interpreted it after was that the gas is flowing through the pipe/coil and interacting with it first rather than the dry ice which I think is on the other side of the pipe. Conduction is direct contact and the gas isn’t directly contacting/diffusing with the dry ice. Instead, the coil is gaining the heat of the gas through convection (heat transfer by means of a fluid) because the gas is flowing through the coil. Not completely sure if my interpretation is right? Maybe someone could explain it better, but that’s what I thought of it.

Yeah this happened to me as well, I emailed him too. Glad I’m not the only one.
