Blog post 5 - A subject I'm enjoying this semester

 

It was very difficult to choose one subject since I like all of them equally, but this time I will say that my favorite one this semester is biochemistry (molecular and cellular bases).

In classes, we see different types of reactions that will help us understand the processes that occur in organisms, for example: how some types of diseases are produced, how food is transformed into energy, how some vaccines act, etc.  They show us slides and videos that help us imagine things. The main contents we have seen so far are: nucleic acids, different types of cycles, energy metabolism, proteins (their structure, their functions, their quantification), signal transduction, among others.

I like this subject because I think it is very interesting, I have always liked chemistry, however, I must admit that it is very difficult and the little time we have to memorize things is what complicates it the most. I think that if this pressure did not exist I would like it more.

It’s difficult to talk about the teachers since many of them teach us at the same time, however there are some who are kind and willing to help and I am grateful to them.
