AAMC MCAT Practice Exam 2 2024 with 100% correct answers C/P: What expression gives the amount of light energy (in J per photon) that is converted to other forms between the fluorescence excitation and emission events?

MCAT Chem/PhysGenerally, how are proteins formed? The connecting of a string of amino acids via peptide bonds and the folding of this string to create a completed protein. The folding is determined primarily by the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic nature of the amino acids. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, and other intramolecular forces. Peptide (Amide) Bonds These are formed when the n-terminus of one amino acid attacks the carboxy terminus of another amino acid. Water is ...

MCAT Biochemistry Review Amino Acid - correct answer Dipolar compound containing an amino group and a carboxyl group Amino Group - correct answer -NH2 Carboxyl Group - correct answer -COOH Alpha Carbon - correct answer Central carbon atom in amino acid Attached to amino & carboxyl groups, H atom, and side chain Side Chain - correct answer The variable component of an amino acid that gives the amino acid its identity and chemical properties also called R-group Chiral - correct a...

MCAT supercritical fluid - correct answer any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist the lowest frequency corresponds to the highest/lowest period? - correct answer highest (pay attention to the question, dumb mistake) constructive interference vs destructive interference - correct answer constructive makes it bigger, amplifies. Destructive goes against, flattens the wave. Review R/S Stereochemistry - correct ...

MCAT Study Setcovalent bond formed via the sharing of electrons between two elements of similar EN bond order refers to whether a covalent bond is a single, double, or triple bond. As bond order increases, bond strength increases, bond energy increases, bond length decreases ionic bonds formed via the transfer of one or more electrons from an element with a relatively low IE to an element with a relatively high electron affinity - cation: postiive - anion: negative elect...

MCAT Organic ChemistryWhat are the four rules for writing resonance structures? - correct answer 1. Atoms must not be moved. Only electrons. 2. All resonance atoms must lie in the same plane. 3. Only valid Lewis structures are allowed. 4 . The number of unpaired electrons must remain constant. What are the two conditions for resonance? - correct answer 1. An atom must have a P orbital or a lone pair of electrons. 2. It must be single bonded to an atom that has a double or triple b...
