The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson we cover the polar (hydrophilic) amino acids: Serine, Threonine, Tyrosine, Asparagine, Glutamine, and Cysteine. Main takeaway: many have pKr's; however, they are too high to make them acidic amino acids. Time Stamps: Serine, Threonine, and Tyrosine: (0:00) Asparagine, Glutamine, and Cysteine: (5:44) Comprehensive Amino Acid Playlist: https://bit.ly/3sMGBUG Check out Aratasaki, the beat maker behind my intro and outro: https://bit.ly/2Pma5v0 _____________________________________________________________________________ Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson, we cover the basic (polar) amino acids: Lysine, Arginine, and Histidine. One main takeaway: histidine is actually not positively charged at physiological pH! We also cover lysine acetylation (noting that arginine can also be acetylated). We also briefly cover the common question: is histidine aromatic? The answer is yes, but it is not commonly classified as aromatic due to its more important properties as a basic amino acid. Time Stamps: Lysine, Arginine, and Histidine: (0:00) Histidine Tautomerization: (9:46) Comprehensive Amino Acid Playlist: https://bit.ly/3sMGBUG Check out Aratasaki, the beat maker behind my intro and outro: https://bit.ly/2Pma5v0 _____________________________________________________________________________ Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson, we cover gender, sex, and sexual orientation. You might be familiar with much of this information already, but it is worth reviewing. One particular test topic you might see on test day is the Kinsey Scale. Major takeaway: it is a scale from 0-6, where 0 = heterosexual and 6 = homosexual. We also cover different terms like what LGBTQ+ and its variations mean, as well as what the fundamental difference between sex and gender is—which may or may not be something you already know, but nevertheless a good reminder of knowing the academic definitions for test day.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson, we discuss the nonpolar amino acids: Glycine, Alanine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Proline, Valine, Phenylalanine, and Tryptophan. Main takeaway: these can be further subdivided into aliphatic and aromatic amino acids. Time Stamps: Glycine, Alanine, Leucine, and Isoleucine: (0:00) Methionine, Proline, and Valine: (3:49) Phenylalanine and Tryptophan: (7:23) What Are the Aliphatic Amino Acids?: (11:14) Comprehensive Amino Acid Playlist: https://bit.ly/3sMGBUG Check out Aratasaki, the beat maker behind my intro and outro: https://bit.ly/2Pma5v0 _____________________________________________________________________________ Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson we cover the acidic (polar), negatively charged amino acids aspartate and glutamate. Main takeaway: know that they are very similar, and that each carries a net negative charge due to their carboxyl group.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson, we cover blood flow through the heart, paying special attention to the valves and points of common confusion, like the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein (which is which, again?)

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) NOTE: "operational conditioning" should be operant conditioning, aka instrumental conditioning. Today we cover the high yield MCAT concepts of escape learning and avoidance learning—and perhaps most importantly answer the question: What is the difference between escape and avoidance learning? This difference isn't something that is highly emphasized in many prep courses, but it should be! The AAMC does test this in its practice content.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) In today's MedCat lesson, we cover the surprisingly high yield topic of dishabituation. The main takeaway: it increases the response to a previously habituated stimulus. This requires habituation (an important topic on the MCAT) to already have occurred. This falls under the topic of non-associative learning, which also covers habituation and sensitization.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) Today we cover glucose absorption in epithelial cells, a topic that is quite integrative—just like the MCAT! One big takeaway is the difference between primary active transport (uses ATP) and secondary active transport (uses a gradient created by a primary active transport protein). *Note: these epithelial cells are also referred to as brush-border cells. If you want more info on the transporter on the basal side of the epithelial cell, check out our video on GLUT transporters.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) Today we go over GLUT transporters 1-4, covering their biochemical and physiological relevance. GLUT 4 and 2 and the most high yield, with GLUT 4 being slightly more important than GLUT2. The 2021 MCAT schedule is released! The normal length of the exam is back, which means good news and bad news: the good news is that you get a lunch break, the bad news is that the test is a marathon again.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) Today we cover the high yield MCAT topic of radioactive decay and simplify it to only what you need to know for the exam. MAIN TAKEAWAY: treat the decay process as if it were a chemical equation! That way you only need to know what an alpha particle, beta particle (electron), and positron are. An alpha particle is really, at the end of the day, a helium nucleus. A beta particle is really an electron, and a positron, is, well, a positron. A gamma particle is a light ray in the gamma wavelength (very short wavelength, high frequency)—if you have no clue what I'm talking about, look up the electromagnetic spectrum, another high yield MCAT topic.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Pre-Med and Medical Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (ad) Today's MedCat video covers the essentials of glycolysis, not going too in depth on the pathway, but rather focusing on concepts you are most likely to be tested on.

The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: https://amzn.to/390hG8W (Ad) Today's MedCat video covers the extremely high yield subject of famed psychologist Jean Piaget's stages of cognitive development: the sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operational stage, and formal operational stage.
