Read the first 6 GAMSAT Biological Sciences and Chemistry flashcards as text

  1. Which section of the GAMSAT primarily tests knowledge of biological and physical sciences?

    Answer: Section III

    Section III of the GAMSAT covers reasoning in biological and physical sciences, including chemistry and biology.

  2. In the context of GAMSAT biology questions, which process describes the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low to high solute concentration?

    Answer: Osmosis

    Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane.

  3. Which of the following best describes the role of ATP in cellular biology, a common GAMSAT topic?

    Answer: It stores and transfers chemical energy

    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, storing and transferring chemical energy for metabolic processes.

  4. On a GAMSAT chemistry question, what is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L?

    Answer: 4

    pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1 × 10⁻⁴) = 4.

  5. Which type of chemical bond is formed when two atoms share electrons, a concept tested in GAMSAT Section III?

    Answer: Covalent bond

    Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

  6. In GAMSAT biological science, which organelle is responsible for producing proteins via translation?

    Answer: Ribosome

    Ribosomes are the cellular organelles where translation occurs, converting mRNA sequences into proteins.
