A punk-rocker walks by a listener with a portable stereo playing music at full volume. The pitch of the recording will seem lower: I. as the punk-rocker moves away from the listener. II. as the listener moves away from the…
As an MCAT instructor, I’ve seen students fall victim to countless misconceptions that negatively impact their MCAT performance. One of these misconceptions is more prevalent than almost any other: the MCAT is similar to undergraduate science courses, and – by…
The standard reduction potentials for Zn and Cu are given below: Zn2+(aq) + 2e– → Zn(s) E°= -0.76 V Cu+(aq) + e– → Cu(s) E°= 0.52 V What is the standard state cell potential for the following reaction? Zn(s) +…

Although linked at the same carbons as starch and glycogen, cellulose is indigestible to humans. This is a result of the: alpha-linkage from carbons 2 to 6 of D-glucose. beta-linkage at carbons 2 to 6 of D-glucose. alpha-linkage at carbons…
At atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide undergoes sublimation at -109.5°F. How does the entropy change when CO2 undergoes deposition? A. ΔS>0 B. ΔS<0 C. ΔS=0 D. cannot be determined Click for Explanation Deposition is a phase change from gas directly to…
The snapdragon is a plant demonstrating incomplete dominance in the flower color phenotype. If homozygous snapdragons have either red or white flowers, what color are the heterozygotes? A. red, because the white coloring reflects all incoming light wavelengths in flowers…
On the MCAT, you will frequently encounter questions where you have to think about why something might happen, or why a given answer choice might support, refute, or explain a set of experimental findings. These questions can be challenging for…
While viruses are incredibly simple structures composed of little more than a protein coat and some DNA, some viruses require enzymes to be packaged in with their genetic material. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an example of a retrovirus. In…
