Found some old notes from last year when I was studying for General Biology 1. Also, I just finished my final exams for degree Y1S1 yesterday! It was quite tough + intense cuz I had to sit for 2 heavy subjects’ papers, which were Human Physiology + Chemistry 1 in one day. Currently, I’m on my sem break now (yaaaaaaaaay). I’ll be back in campus in January + will be posting more before then! :D
Made these Biochemistry & Metabolism notes from last semester for my final exam :) It was my first time taking a 5 credit hour subject. Honestly, there were tons of stuffs + terms to memorize, especially the metabolic pathways. The nucleotide biosynthesis topic was really tough for me b/c I’ve never learn it before + I also had to memorize the diseases + syndromes along with how they affect the associated pathways. Well, I’m just glad that I got a GPA 4.0 for my Biochemistry & Metabolism! Hard work does pay off :)
electron transport chain / oxidative phosphorylation
Designed + drew this electron transport chain(ETC)/oxidative phosphorylation diagram for my Microbiology assignment! The criteria was to draw a diagram based on one of the topics given regarding microbial metabolism + explain it to children in a primary school. It was quite fun to brainstorm ideas for the design + it took me 3 days to complete it. I tried to use food as my theme b/c no kids can resist sweets + snacks right? Hahahah
I had replaced:
- Protein complexes I, III + IVasboba teas/bubble teas
- Protein complex II as a cake
- Cytochrome c as a cake as well
- ATP synthase as a combination of two cakes linked together by a biscuit stick
- Hydrogen ions as the golden (honey) bobas
- Hydrophilic head of phospholipid bilayer as hard-boiled eggs
- Hydrophobic tails of phospholipid bilayer as fries
PS: I used some pictures from laoren-chen and a few textbooks as references! So, credits to them :)

Here’s a short time lapse video (this is my first time recording + editing a video haha) of me studying for my quiz on this coming Friday. Was reaaaaaaally busy with all the assignments + lab reports that I’ve finally managed to find the time to study for my Structural Biochemistry quiz, which will be covering 6 chapters + here I am on the first chapter (yes, I’m going to be so dead soon hahahaha).
