Biochemistry pathways, molecular biology, and organ system physiology all collide on the MCAT's Biological Foundations section, and knowing each topic in isolation isn't enough. Rhea's biology degree and pre-med coursework at the University of Chicago mean she can connect amino acid chemistry to pro...

Amino acid structures, metabolic pathways, and molecular biology techniques dominate the Bio/Biochem section, and Zachary's undergraduate work in biochemistry and biophysics means he can unpack these topics from firsthand academic experience rather than secondhand review. He teaches students to trac...

As a current medical student who studied Global Health at Duke, Samantha is actively immersed in the biochemistry, cell biology, and organ systems that dominate the MCAT's Biological and Biochemical Foundations section. She breaks down dense topics like enzyme kinetics, amino acid structure, and met...

This section is where Tony's background lines up most directly — his Yale biology degree covered the biochemistry, molecular biology, and organ systems physiology that form the backbone of the Biological and Biochemical Foundations section. He digs into amino acid structures, metabolic pathways like...

This section is where David's neuroscience training pays off most directly. He digs into the molecular biology, biochemistry, and organ-system physiology that dominate the Bio/Biochem section, from DNA replication and gene expression to metabolic pathways and nervous system signaling. Students get s...

Amino acid structures, metabolic pathways, DNA replication mechanics — the Bio/Biochem section of the MCAT covers an enormous amount of content, and knowing how to prioritize what matters is half the battle. Laura teaches students to build concept maps linking molecular biology to organ-system physi...

Benjamin's neuroscience degree at Vanderbilt means he didn't just memorize biochemical pathways and cellular mechanisms — he used them daily to understand how neurons signal, how drugs cross membranes, and how genetic mutations cause disease. That background translates directly to the MCAT's Biologi...

As a Harvard chemistry graduate heading to Columbia Medical School, James recently prepared for this exact MCAT section — and knows which biochemical pathways, enzyme kinetics concepts, and amino acid properties the exam hammers hardest. He connects molecular-level detail to biological systems so th...

Having studied biochemistry and molecular biology at Rice before completing medical school, Sanjay knows the Bio/Biochem section of the MCAT from both the academic and the test-taking side. He tackles high-yield areas like amino acid chemistry, enzyme regulation, and metabolic integration by linking...

Scoring well on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations section means connecting amino acid structures to enzyme function, understanding signal transduction pathways, and recalling organ system physiology — all while interpreting experimental passages at speed. As a medical student who has taught...
