What knowledge has connected with past knowledge?
Most of what has been taught in class so far has connected and reinforced past knowledge very well. It expanded on the more chemistry side of biology which to me made more sense than general chem because i could apply it to past knowledge. It is always good to cover things like structures and chemical bonds over and over so when using it in a future job or in future research it will be like second nature and it will be much easier to pick out if for example a lipid bi layer is loose because of double bounded tails on a fatty acid when it should be rigid and tightly arranged.
Even if it seems like the information is redundant its the best way to learn it and master it. This class helps to pull together my past classes including Biology 1+2, Genetics, Organic Chemistry, and surprisingly psychology. Many diseases are formed by chromosome malfunctions and deletions.This class is a strong foundation for all science classes and as it seems at least one of the social sciences. It gives a good understanding to what structures and compositions the body has that makes it work properly.
I like how your blogs are very straight forward and to the point. You have very good points throughout your entry. I like how you said that the information is redundant but it is the best way to learn and master it. I completely agree with you, though it may be very tedious, it is the best way to fully grasp a certain subject of study. I think that all science classes, especially Biochemistry, are good foundations for understanding the structures, compositions, and functions of the human body. Good job!
