AAMC FL 1 Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
How will the rate of a catalyzed reaction be affected if the solid catalyst is finely ground
before it is added to the reaction mixture? - CORRECT ANSWER The rate will be
faster because a greater surface area of catalyst will be exposed.
Which of the following most likely will occur if a homogeneous catalyst CANNOT be
separated from the products at the end of a reaction? - CORRECT ANSWER The
products will be contaminated.
Gamma decay occurs when a nucleus emits: - CORRECT ANSWER a photon
Which structure represents a phosphorylated subunit of glycogen as described in the passage?
- CORRECT ANSWER Phosphates added to C2 and C3
The production of a variety of opsins functions to:
A.increase sensitivity to low light.
B.enable the detection of different colors.
C.ensure fast recovery of 11-cis-retinal after exposure.
D.increase refractive index of the eye lens. - CORRECT ANSWER The wavelength of
light absorbed by a molecule depends on its structure, and so the production of a variety of
structurally related opsins functions to enable the detection of different colors.
Assumptions of Ideal Gases - CORRECT ANSWER No intermolecular forces and
occupy no volume
Which of the following types of orbitals of the central atom are involved in bonding in
octahedral compounds? - CORRECT ANSWER d2 sp3
Why is the velocity of blood flow slower in capillaries than in arteries? - CORRECT
ANSWER The total cross-sectional area of capillaries exceeds that of arteries.
