class=\"mox\">Leukocyte NADPH oxidases are membrane-associated enzyme complexes that catalyze the production of superoxide (O2-1) via the one-electron reduction of dioxygen.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n2O<sub>2<\/sub> + NADPH \u2192 2O<sub>2<\/sub>&#8211; + NADP<sup>+<\/sup> + H<sup>+<\/sup>(Reaction 1)<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe O2- produced by reaction 1 is an ROS (reactive oxygen species) that causes oxidative damage to biomolecules such as DNA and serves as the starting material for the production of a vast assortment of other reactive oxidants such as oxidized halogens, free radicals, and singlet oxygen.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBecause of its reactivity, O2- has potent bactericidal effects, and when O2- is pumped into a phagosome en masse, any microbe the phagocyte has engulfed is quickly destroyed. Hence the presentation of a microbe to a phagocyte elicits the rapid consumption of O2 and production of O2-, a phenomenon known as a respiratory burst.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn order to quantitatively compare ROS production in neutrophils, monocytes, mast cells, and dendritic cells, a solution of 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) is prepared. H2DCFDA is a non-fluorescent, cell-permeable dye, which oxidizes to the fluorescent 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DSF) in the presence of a strong enough oxidant (such as a ROS).<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nTwo samples of each type of leukocyte are pipetted into different wells of a microplate and all eight wells are incubated with equal amounts of H2DCFDA for thirty minutes. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a compound known to induce a respiratory burst, is then added to one well of each leukocyte type. Fluorescence measurements are taken for all wells zero hours (i.e. immediately), one hour, and two hours following PMA addition. The results are shown in Table 1.<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Table 1   Fluorescence measurements for PMA-induced and control leukocyte samples<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/files\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-29-at-12.45.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"534\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/files\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-29-at-12.45.50-PM.png 534w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/files\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-29-at-12.45.50-PM-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>What is the minimum number of moles of NADPH required to produce 0.05 grams of superoxide by single electron reduction?<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><input type='hidden' name='question_id[]' id='qID_9' value='11' \/><input type='hidden' id='answerType11' value='radio'><!-- end question-content--><\/div>\n<div class='question-choices watupro-choices-columns '>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-11[]' id='answer-id-41' class='answer   answerof-11 ' value='41'   \/><label for='answer-id-41' id='answer-label-41' class=' answer'><span>6.2 \u00d7 10<sup>-3<\/sup><\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-11[]' id='answer-id-42' class='answer   answerof-11 ' value='42'   \/><label for='answer-id-42' id='answer-label-42' class=' answer'><span>7.5 \u00d7 10<sup>-4<\/sup><\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-11[]' id='answer-id-43' class='answer   answerof-11 ' value='43'   \/><label for='answer-id-43' id='answer-label-43' class=' answer'><span>5.0 \u00d7 10<sup>-2<\/sup><br \/>\n<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-11[]' id='answer-id-44' class='answer   answerof-11 ' value='44'   \/><label for='answer-id-44' id='answer-label-44' class=' answer'><span>2.8 \u00d7 10<sup>-5<\/sup><br \/>\n<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<p><!-- end question-choices--><\/div>\n<p><!-- end questionWrap--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class='watu-question ' id='question-10'>\n<div style=\"display:none;\" id='liveResult-10'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/wp-content\/plugins\/watupro\/img\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading...\" title=\"Loading...\" \/>&nbsp;Loading&#8230;\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<h2 class='watupro-category-header'>Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills<\/h2>\n<div id='questionWrap-10'  class='   watupro-question-id-12'>\n<div class='question-content' >\n<div><span class='watupro_num'>10. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mox\">Museums have always been about more than housing art, be it in the service of the work itself (how to bring out certain aesthetic qualities) or by making a broader social statement.  Yet, something less obvious than simply creating a distance between observer and the observed or curating the works of a specific artist is at play. What also informs the modern museum-going experience is the \u2018who\u2019 viewing the art and what exactly that person\u2019s expectations of the experience are.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFor much of the 20th century\u2014and really all of the 19th century\u2014to enter a museum was to be in the midst of Greatness. The requisite emotion was awe; the self was no longer the center of one\u2019s attention. It helped if museum-goers were familiar with the story of art, so that they could direct that awe appropriately. Yet, this story served an even deeper purpose, as the transformation of the museum in the last fifty years has shown. Museum-goers demanded to be edified by that story. But now that story\u2014that the past was a series of great masters to kneel before\u2014is itself becoming a relic. The public has changed and, so the notion goes, so too must the museum.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe progressive-museum-going experience has its beginnings in the end of the 19th century, and has, since then, steadily grown in the United States. The idea is not only about housing artworks under a roof but about being an agent for social change. The museum as subversive. Or, if that is too ambitious, the museum has become not so much a custodian of great art as an institution that caters to the museum goer\u2019s experience. But if that experience has become less about art, then what has it become more about?<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nOne argument is that the museum needs to be more attuned to how an individual sees him- or herself against the backdrop of Art. Spaces for easy congregation, whether at a museum caf\u00e9 or a large open area in between statues, are addressing this need. Installation art, in which there is no art in the traditional sense, but a space created ad hoc, where the museum goer is part of the experience, is another trend highlighting a shift away from \u201cunselfing.\u201d Some maintain this renewed focus on the self is alarming, and point out that museums are trying to attract younger generations by offering \u201cselfie spaces\u201d where individuals can use smartphones to take pictures of themselves standing next to the likes of the David. This is an extreme example, given that many museums are not focused on pandering to the popular masses, and perhaps points more to how its proponents are clearly reactionary. Many of these critics insist on clinging to the traditional model, the one in which museums have become little more than bastions of stuffiness, an old-world order frozen in time, deaf to the sensibilities of a changing public.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nWhat needs redefining is the simplistic dichotomy between upholding the value of Art and catering to the whims of the public. It misses the subtle dynamic of how the museum-going public both engages and disengages with conscious curatorial and structural adaptations. For instance, the public&#8211;underscoring the trend in placing the self at the center of the experience&#8211;has become more demanding of an interactive experience, not surprising given how digital technology itself is predicated on an individual-mediated response to the intake of information. One idea a museum could play with, if some have not already, is for the docent to go online, allowing the individual to \u201ccurate the experience\u201d as she walks past works of art chosen with this end in mind. Museums might also experiment with other approaches; whether these involve classic works or collections outside of the western canon, or whether they can be described as installation art is besides the point. Saying that any of these approaches are compromised presupposes that there is only one experience. In fact, museums in the stuffy mold should still exist, but they should also be content with their diminished status.<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Which of the following most captures the author\u2019s attitude towards museums that cater to the \u201cmodern museum-going experience\u201d?<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><input type='hidden' name='question_id[]' id='qID_10' value='12' \/><input type='hidden' id='answerType12' value='radio'><!-- end question-content--><\/div>\n<div class='question-choices watupro-choices-columns '>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-12[]' id='answer-id-45' class='answer   answerof-12 ' value='45'   \/><label for='answer-id-45' id='answer-label-45' class=' answer'><span>It is a trend that has become too popular and is threatening to undermine the traditional museum.<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-12[]' id='answer-id-46' class='answer   answerof-12 ' value='46'   \/><label for='answer-id-46' id='answer-label-46' class=' answer'><span>It is one of many possible approaches but lacks the significance of exhibits centered around masterworks.<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-12[]' id='answer-id-47' class='answer   answerof-12 ' value='47'   \/><label for='answer-id-47' id='answer-label-47' class=' answer'><span>It represents one side of an overly simplified dichotomy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-12[]' id='answer-id-48' class='answer   answerof-12 ' value='48'   \/><label for='answer-id-48' id='answer-label-48' class=' answer'><span>It is not an unwelcome development provided it does not become representative of all museums.<\/span><\/label><\/div>\n<p><!-- end question-choices--><\/div>\n<p><!-- end questionWrap--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class='watu-question ' id='question-11'>\n<div style=\"display:none;\" id='liveResult-11'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/wp-content\/plugins\/watupro\/img\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading...\" title=\"Loading...\" \/>&nbsp;Loading&#8230;\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div id='questionWrap-11'  class='   watupro-question-id-15'>\n<div class='question-content' >\n<div><span class='watupro_num'>11. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mox\">Museums have always been about more than housing art, be it in the service of the work itself (how to bring out certain aesthetic qualities) or by making a broader social statement.

Bio and biochemistry topics not directly related to behavior appear here: everything from amino acids to organ systems. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems<\/strong><br \/>\nLove chem and\/or phys? This is your section! Plan on answering questions related to everything from light-matter interactions to water properties here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior<\/strong><br \/>\nThis section of the MCAT tests topics related to behavior. This includes everything from how we make sense of the environment to characteristics of demographics. If you have a talent for social science, this is your section!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS)<\/strong><br \/>\nHere, you can expect to see verbal reasoning questions. But don&#8217;t be fooled by the familiar format\u2014this is a <em>next-level<\/em> reading comprehension section! It&#8217;s crafted to test your reasoning skills through critical analysis of passages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4D2079\">MCAT Question Format<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve taken another standardized exam in the United States, like the SAT or the GRE, you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that the AAMC (the MCAT test-maker) has made <em>one<\/em> thing easy on you: the question format. All MCAT items are multiple-choice questions.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you can expect the format of the questions you see on the exam to be exactly like what you&#8217;re seeing in these MCAT sample questions. They&#8217;ll each have a prompt. Sometimes this is just a single sentence, sometimes it comes with a complex illustration of a scenario. It depends on the section. <\/p>\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll have four answer choices to choose from. These are always labeled A, B, C, and D. Even better news? There&#8217;s <strong>no wrong-answer penalty<\/strong> on the test. So if you&#8217;re hesitating between two choices and you&#8217;re running out of time, pick your favorite letter and move on.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of <em>what<\/em> the questions test, that&#8217;s a whole different ballgame! You can expect to see hugely varied content on the MCAT exam, which probably doesn&#8217;t come as a surprise at this point. After all, an MCAT biological foundations question will necessarily be totally different from an MCAT psychological or sociology question.<\/p>\n<p>Before test day (and hopefully before you go too far into your full-length MCAT practice tests!) you should take a quick look at an overview of <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/mcat-topics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what&#8217;s on the MCAT<\/a> to know what you&#8217;re dealing with!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#contents\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/mcat\/files\/2020\/12\/100x27-Back-to-Top-button.png\" alt=\"Back to top button - Magoosh\" width=\"100\" height=\"27\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1778\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a id=\"more\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">Where to Find More MCAT Sample Questions<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve seen what types of questions you&#8217;ll face on the MCAT, it&#8217;s time to get a better understanding of how the exam tests different kinds of knowledge.
