Newton’s three laws of motion are essential concepts for the Chemical and Physical Foundations section of the MCAT. In this episode of MCAT in the Car, we explain how forces affect movement, why mass and acceleration are connected, and how Newton’s laws apply to everyday situations and human physiology. You’ll learn the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces, understand the equation F equals m times a, and practice two MCAT-style questions without needing complicated calculations.
Enzyme kinetics is one of the most important biochemistry concepts tested on the MCAT. In this episode of MCAT in the Car, we explain how enzymes accelerate chemical reactions, what Km and Vmax tell us about enzyme activity, and how competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors change reaction rates. You’ll also learn how to recognize common MCAT questions about enzyme inhibition without getting lost in complicated equations.
Glycolysis is one of the most important metabolic pathways tested on the MCAT, and understanding it is essential for mastering cellular energy production. In this episode, we break down how glucose is converted into pyruvate, why ATP is both consumed and produced, and how NADH contributes to cellular metabolism. You’ll learn the three key regulatory enzymes, the net ATP yield, and the differences between aerobic and anaerobic conditions. We also explore common MCAT exam traps involving enzyme regulation, energy calculations, and metabolic pathways, helping you recognize the concepts that frequently appear in passage-based questions.
One of the most intimidating aspects of MCAT chemistry is stoichiometry. Students see chemical equations, unfamiliar numbers, and multiple conversion steps, and suddenly a relatively simple problem feels overwhelming. But stoichiometry is really about understanding proportions. Once you understand the relationships between substances in a chemical reaction, the calculations become much more manageable.
Understanding lipid digestion requires connecting biochemistry with gastrointestinal physiology. This episode examines triglyceride hydrolysis, bile salt emulsification, micelle formation, and intestinal lipid transport. Discover how enterocytes reassemble triglycerides and package them into chylomicrons for transport through the lymphatic system. Review essential biochemical mechanisms and their clinical applications for the MCAT.
