    Free MCAT & DAT Practice App

    Hey guys! I created a free DAT and MCAT studying app that is based in practice multiple-choice problems. The app currently has primarily biology questions but more are added frequently. To speak to the "ethos" of this app, I scored in the 99.7 percentile of the DAT and the students helping...

    KA CARS v. Kaplan CARS

    Hey guys, Does anyone else find KA CARS super easy? I'm wondering if I'm just getting lucky and if should continue practicing their passages. Also, do you guys find Kaplan CARS significantly harder? Which is more like the real thing?

    Oxidative phosphorylation and electrochemical gradient

    Complex I results in oxidation of NADH to NAD+ and two electrons flow from the mitochondria matrix to the complex that is embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. I am trying to find an explanation to why 4H+ are pumped to the intermembrane space. Is it because electrons left the...

    Rate-limiting step of TCA

    I am confused because my biochemistry notes say that citrate synthase is the rate limiting step and the kaplan book says that isocitrate dehydrogenase is the rate limiting step of the TCA. Which one is the correct one? Thanks

    Kaplan 3E vs 2E practice tests?

    So by a (happy) accident, I got access to both the Kaplan 3rd Edition and 2nd Edition online practice exams. Does anyone know if the exams differ enough from version to version that taking all six exams instead of just the three from the 3E would be useful?

    2,3 BPG and lung oxygen saturation

    Hi! I had two questions: 1- 2,3 BPG allosterically binds to Hemoglobin changing it to its T state so it has lower affinity for oxygen. I am confused on how the percent saturation of oxygen in the lungs is still able to reach 100% if Hb cannot bind to oxygen as readily? 2- Since fetal...

    Glut2/Glut4

    - How come glut2 is said to be insulin independent if it senses the release of insulin to store glut2 in hepatocytes? - I understand that glut4 has a Km similar to the concentration of glucose so it gets saturated fast but how come glucose influx can still occur if the glut4 receptors are...

    Pulmonary surfactant and lung collapse

    Nodes of Ranvier

    correlation - Alpha level and Power of the study

    Power is defined as the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis (alternatively, the probability of detecting true difference/effect). A smaller level of alpha will make it harder to reject the null hypothesis. For example, we need to see something more extreme to make us reject...
