MCAT Biology Practice QuestionsHyperbaric oxygen may be used as a treatment for certain types of bacterial infections. In this therapy, the patient is placed in a which the partial pressure of oxygen is significantly increased, increasing the partial pressure of oxygen in the patient's tissues. This treatment is most likely used for infections with: A. obligate aerobic bacteria B. facultative anaerobix bacteria C. aerotolerant anarobic bacteria D. obligate anaerobic bacteria - correct an...

MCAT BiologyCentral Dogma - correct answer DNA → RNA → Protein Purines - which bases? - how many rings? - correct answer Pyrimidines - which bases? - how many rings? - correct answer Remember: "Pyrimidine" has a "y" in it; so does "cytosine" and "thymine." Phosphodiester Bond - correct answer Joins one nucleotide to the next; between the 3rd C of one ribose and the 5th C of the other to create the sugar-phosphate backbone Directionality of DNA (convention) - correct ...

MCAT: Cell BiologyCell Theory - correct answer 1) All living things are made of cells 2) Cell is the basic functional unit of life 3) Cells are formed from other cells 4) Cells contain DNA (genetic information) Are viruses living organisms? - correct answer No. They dont contain DNA (they have RNA), and they are not able to reproduce on their own (violates 3 and 4 of cell theory) Eukaryotic cells vs Prokaryotic cells - correct answer Eu: Nucleus. Pro: No nucleus Nucleus - correct ans...

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 ...
