Transposons are different from episomes, no? This note on this AnKing card seems contradictory and also incorrect

This card also says “Episomes are plasmids that integrate into the genome”.

I’m not sure if that part is correct either bc google is telling me not all episomes are plasmids so clarification on that would be helpful too!

Kaplan has a problem at the start of Bio Ch 1 where it claims that the SER does transport of proteins. Other sources say this incorrect. Which is correct?

Kaplan Biology Ch 1 #6 claims proteins in the rough ER can cross into the smooth ER, where they are secreted into cytoplasmic vesicles and transported to the Golgi Apparatus.

Is this true? I can’t find much online about it, seems like it’s more the detox and the lipid synthesis?

Dumb Q but how does finishing AB remove AB resistant bacterial population?

Obv I’ve heard that you need to finish your AB course bc otherwise the population that comes back will be more AB resistant than the original.

But I’m trying to understand the exact conceptual logic.

Bc if there was already a subset of the population that was AB resistant, then why would finishing the course do anything? Wouldn’t that subpopulation be chilling either way? What is the benefit of finishing the course in a logic exercise sense?

Can’t figure out how to add photo only video so attaching vid of excerpt in comments

H-Bonding Clarification in Tertiary and Quaternary structure?

So from reading the Kaplan book, I’m a bit unclear on what kind of bonding is happening exactly for tertiary and quaternary. Also googled some stuff and used ChatGPT

So for tertiary, it sounds like the hydrophobic interior’s h bonding is mostly backbone-backbone interaction?
But the hydrophilic exterior has both backbone and r groups contributing to h bonding?

And then quaternary also has both backbone and r groups contributing to h bonding?

Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding?

Why is the Kaplan book talking about side-chain interactions regarding holding together alpha helixes and beta pleated intact?

I thought specifically its R groups that interact for 3• and 4• but backbone interactions for 2•, no?

This is 1.6 in Kaplan, denaturation.

Do alpha helices only have alpha turns? Are they named after that? Or are they separate and just use the same greek naming/counting scheme?

I don't think I ever learned about turns before in bio. How exactly are they connected to the secondary structure? Do alpha helices specifically have alpha turns?

How do the multiple foot massage/spa businesses on TO Boulevard stay in business?

I don’t really see much foot traffic to them (pun intended) I haven’t really heard anyone talk about going to them.

How do those businesses survive so long while others close down?

For the Hwacha, with its Splash Ability, do fortifications/district defense count as “units”? Does the district defense take splash damage if I attack another enemy unit adjacent to the district?

Just trying to better understand the way the ability works. Thank you.

Should I restart save or continue where I left off

So for context, I’ve beaten the game already including a 100% playthrough. So it’s not a new game to me.

However, I haven’t touched the game since July 2025 so a bit over a year ago.

Not sure if I should try to pick up where I left off or just reset.

I’m in Ch3 but already at 49% completion: Have Legend of the East Satchell, finished Explorer and Gambler(!) challenges, did a ton of side content like side missions and bunch of legendary animals and camp upgrades and whatnot.

So I’m conflicted if I should continue bc I did so much already in this save that it seems a shame to throw it away, especially with a lot of the housekeeping things finished, but at the same time, it’s been so long that the world state won’t feel super familiar this long later. I mean I know the story and world pretty well after beating it multiple times but still it’s been a long time since.

So not sure

Thoughts from some RDR2 super fans?

How do Meru work?

Specifically regarding the +2 happiness on natural wonder tiles. Does that stack and does it apply empire wide? Meaning if I have 3 Meru in my civilization, does that mean each natural wonder tile gets +6 happiness, even if in a separate settlement?

Is there a way to choose between victory type if both are counting down in sync?

Military and Culture both counting down in sync. Was hoping for culture bc I’ve never won culture victory before but the game gave me military which is what I’ve usually won with.

Is there a way to choose or does military always take precedence?

Is Exam Krackers still viable in 2026?

My friend who took the MCAT back in 2021 used EK for content review and swears by it but it seems like nowadays everyone uses Kaplan.

Seems people used to fall into one of 3 groups: Kaplan, Princeton Review, and EK.

But on here it now seems like it’s pretty universally Kaplan. Is EK not the move in 2026?

How does XP work with Aerodrome Commander vs Squadron Commander?

Haven’t been able to play in the modern era as much as the other two.

How does XP distribution work? Bc can’t squadron commander go on the same tile as aerodrome?

So how does the XP work if they’re together on the same tile?

Does using say carpet bomb from aerodrome commander vs using carpet bomb from squadron commander change who gets the XP between the two of them when on the same tile?

And what if I don’t use any abilities from either and just manually attack using the airplane units themselves? Who gets the XP then, assuming the commanders share a tile?

Question regarding Avenue Unique Quarter

So the description says that it boosts +2 happiness on quarters in this “city”

But it can be built in towns it looks like.

So does that mean you just don’t get the happiness boost from the unique quarter since it’s a town? Only get the Jacobin training?

Having issue with deadlifts form, need help

Hey so I’m having an issue. I feel like when I get too far from the bar, I have to lean way forward and it hurts my back. But then if I get too close to the bar, now I’m constantly hitting my knee and having to like pull my knee out of the way each rep, which makes it feel shaky and uncomfortable.

I can’t seem to find a middle ground, probably bc I have to bend my knees a lot cuz I have long legs proportions-wise and also bc have to bend my knees a lot bc my hips aren’t very flexible.

Not sure how to fix this but feels like I’m rising injury either way I go.

Doing on smith machines (my location has no squat racks). Advice welcome please. Thank you.

There’s a bunch of jobs by me that I applied to over a year ago. I have new job experience since then. But it won’t let me reapply to them as the posting is the same as the one I applied to before. How can I work around this?

I know this job posting is looked at though, it’s not just some dead one. I got interviews off of it, so I think they just keep it up long term (it’s the kind of job people do as a gap year position so I think they just keep it up since there’s decently high turnover).

I’d like to reapply with my new job experience but Indeed won’t let me.

How can I work around this in the most efficient way?

Thank you
