#hunterbiochemistry I enjoyed taking this online biochemistry course and it helped me to learn the most difficult concepts at my own time and pace. Also, the extra resources provided and PeerWise questions, helped me to connect the ideas and to better understand the topics.
@bsullivan1044#hunterbiochemistry Hi Brianna!! Thanks for sharing this video, I checked it out and it was super interesting to learn the citric acid cycle with the help of this video!!
@alexgbiochem21#hunterbiochemistry Hi Alex!! I completely agree with your post about the connections between biology and biochem. In biology, I learnt about the term metabolism while in biochem I explored the term metabolism by deeply understanding all parts of it.
@NelaMar84833956#hunterbiochemistry Hi Nela!! I completely agree with you on how much this class helped me to learn in depth about the common concepts that I learned before in my biology, organic chemistry and other classes.
@IsotopeCraze727 @peerwise#hunterbiochemistry Hi Ian!!! This is a great question on electron transport chain, it helped me to memorize the functions of all four complexes of the electron transport chain!!!
@BiochemistryPb #hunterbiochemistry This is a great question, which helped me to revise the citric acid cycle again. Looking forward to the full explanation!!
@Ajo1018UNHM#hunterbiochemistry Hi Abbey!! The topic of amino acids was always difficult for me to learn but with the help of this class and the extra resources and videos that we were provided, it made this topic a lot more easier and fun to learn.
I have learned more in biochemistry about the characteristics of amino acids. I was first introduced to amino acids in Bio 1&2 (which I had taken a while ago) and knew only the basic structures and what they were. This class helped develop my understanding. #hunterbiochemistry
@ayabio5@peerwise#hunterbiochemistry Hi Aya!! This is a great question!! Looking forward to read the explanation. On the basis of the modules that we have learnt in the class, catabolism have 3 stages: Digestion, release of energy and storage of energy.
#hunterbiochemistry Pyruvate is a precursor of alanine which can be easily synthesized by transfer of a nitrogen from an amine donor, such as glutamic acid. Pyruvate can also be converted into oxaloacetate by carboxylation in the process of gluconeogenesis.
#hunterbiochemistry This article connects to pathways of glucose metabolism, including glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis that we learned in metabolism module.
@kbw1010#hunterbiochemistry Hi Kaylee!! This is a wonderful article on one carbon metabolism which connects to our class by connecting to other processes linked to metabolism in human body.
@GabrielleLheu#hunterbiochemistry This is a great article about Warburg effect which also explains several signaling pathways implicated in cell proliferation.
