Hi all!

Quick question, since someone mentioned this to me.

So apparently some people have posted in their breakdown that there are like "new math bio" q's, that arent HW or the genetics stuff...could anyone elaborate on what that entails? Or whats it about?

I would really appreciate it..my test is on tue!

Thanks in advance!!

There is Beer's law equation A= ebc
That you may see on DAT bio section. You should be familiar with this.

This law allows one to determine how much light can a solution absorb based on its concentration, while the solute is dissolved in a solvent that does not absorb light.

Hope this helps.

Interesting...at least it's something I already covered from the gen chem. My brain can only stuff so much more before this exam!

Thanks as always!

Just wait for the math that is on the Reading Comprehension section! And no, I am not lying lol.

Few things that I can think off top of my head that has to do with math and biology are Nerst's equation, cardiac output, and filtration rate.

There may be more, but I think the common ones would be the first two that I mentioned.

Oh yeah, don't forget about stroke volume formula as well. Here is an example question that you might find on the biology section of the DAT. It isn't hard, but if you do not know the formula then it might can lower your biology score.

If a heart fills up to 200ml of blood before contraction, and leaves
50ml in the heart after contraction, what is the stroke volume? If
heart rate was 80 beats per minute, what would the cardiac output be?




Answer is:

a) 150ml/beat
b) 12 L/minute

Isn't cardiac out put sv*heart rate

 

[RuffDay]

Isn't cardiac out put sv*heart rate

That's correct. 12,000 mL/beat = 12L/beat

 

[510586]

That's correct. 12,000 mL/beat = 12L/beat

Oh woops brain fart mb

Sweet thanks for that example. Not too bad, but like you said, w/o the formula, it's hard to get that right!

These were still in Feralis notes. The people that wrote the breakdown said it was more outlandish

Hmm interesting...do you remember any specific breakdowns by chance?

The guy with the Mulan avatar and one more said there were strange maths on it. I don't have it right now but can check later

These people both did phenomenally, but they each touched on some maths that were not hardy weinberg. There could be more but these are the breakdowns that came to mind. I might be overanalyzing, but I feel that if theres something that wasn't covered in destroyer or feralis, it ought to be taken into account. Both of these posters used those resources.
