Basic principles in organic chemistry: Functional groups
List of functional groups in organic chemistry
The knowledge of some basic functional groups and how they react would give us tremendous leverage to tackle the problem of predicting chemical reactivity in organic chemistry. Following is the table of the common functional groups you will encounter in organic chemistry.
How To Memorize The Strong Acids and Strong Bases
You’ll not only have to recognize the weak acids and bases, but MEMORIZE the standard list of strong acids and bases listed on the cheat sheet below.
There are only a few (6) strong acids, so many people choose to memorize them. All the other acids are weak. The strong acids are hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, perchloric acid, and chloric acid.
When it comes to cellular reproduction/division on the MCAT you must be very familiar with Mitosis and Meiosis. This includes what occurs in each of the phases, the products of each pathway, and the key differences between mitosis and meiosis.
| Process | Number of Daughter Cells | Genetic Diversity | Phases | Chromosomes Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitosis | 2 | None | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase | Condense, align at center, pulled apart, decondense |
| Meiosis | 4 | High | Meiosis I, Meiosis II | Pair up and exchange genetic material, divide again |
This MCAT study guide cheat sheet is meant to serve as a visual guide to help you understand each pathway. If you find it helpful please share with your friends using the social media buttons above.

Ever the professional, Targalski calmly continued on without acknowledging his feline headwear, although he did have to manually move Lisio’s tail away from his eyes several times.
Targalski is known for having his beloved cats present during interviews and has done so many times.
