MCAT Review Questions with Answers Graded A+
1. cell differentiation is involved mRNA
in what kind of signaling?
2. correspondence interference it's when someone recognizes a trait/behavior of yours and
theory assumes other characteristics based on that one trait.
3. trypsin lyses peptide bonds
4. adrenal medulla medulla = epi, norepi (catecholamines)
vs adrenal cortex cortex = cortisol and aldosterone
5. volt units J/C
6. farad units C/V, electric charge
7. when BP increases, what hap- both increase
pens to pulse and urine?
8. in the urinary system, what oc- high BP
curs when there is high blood more blood pushing, greater blood volume
pressure? increase urine output
9. for urine, what is the ideal com- no protein, just HUNK (hydrogen, urea, nitrogen, potassium)
position?
10. what part of the brain controls brain stem (medulla oblogata)
HR?
11. math tip for solving logs switch sign of exponent
take exponent and add or subtract it by first number moved
back a tenth

12. hydrogen bonds: donor vs ac- donor = H
ceptor acceptor = electronegative atom
13. columns on the periodic table same properties due to their valence electrons
have the same what? therefore, you can compare elements based on their column
14. fractional distillation + bubbles superheating
=? bubbles break surface tension and lower pressure
15. color in organic chemistry extended pi system with alternating double bonds
d orbitals**
16. ADH antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
makes collecting duct more permeable, body reabsorbs wa-
ter, makes you pee and concentrates urine, BP increases
17. when you see cancer, think of ? mutation
18. BP equation resistance x CO
CO = HR x SV
19. vasoconstriction narrows vessels
restricts flow
increases BP
20. what occurs when you faint? decrease of BP, vasodilation
21. large Ka strong acid
22. buffers want to stay at pka = pH
23. do indicators affect reactions? no
24. mitochondria
