Hello there, as for this post, this is somehow the last writing post I will be doing. It is somehow sad, and quite despondent. Nevertheless, I would like to share my thoughts and experiences on this course, the journey I had alongside the tasks given, not to forget our beloved lecturer, Dr. Hashimatul, with herContinue reading “Task 11: Self-reflection on Biochemistry”

Hey, there in this post, it is going to be about metabolic processes, as the title speaks for themselves. Generally, there are three major types of metabolic processes that I’ve encountered multiple of times. They are glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, respectively. On top of that, we also had another Problem-based learning (PBL)Continue reading “Task 10: Metabolic processes.”

As you can see from the title, in this post, I will be sharing on the lessons I’ve gone through on lipids. Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells and they can be categorised based on polarity namely non-polar lipids and polar lipids.Continue reading “Task 9: Self-reflection on lipids.”

In this post, I will be sharing my thoughts and knowledge I’ve obtained from our lectures as well as lecture notes on carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are known to be the most abundant biological molecules on Earth consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are vital in providing energy to the body. Some of the keyContinue reading “Task 8: Self-reflection on carbohydrate”

In this post, it is going to be about problem-based learning (PBL) session we did on June. We were asked to form a group earlier on to discuss about a situation given in the form of video, a trigger that describes a family in Rwanda, Burundi on nutrition. After completing discussing on the situation, eachContinue reading “Task 7: Problem-based learning on vitamins.”

This task reviews on vitamins. A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. I’ve prepared a mind-map of each class of vitamins, here, take a look! I would like to apologise on the size of the mind-map. ItContinue reading “Task 6: Vitamins”

The industrial uses of enzymes are also increasing since they are being used in the production of biofuels and biopolymers. The enzymes can be harvested from microbial sources or can be made synthetically. The below infographic shows the different types of industrial enzymes together with their applications in industry. Let’s take a look!

In this post, it is going to be about amino acid and how it turns into protein. There are 20 common amino acid structures in total but they can also be found in a more complex form. All of the 20 amino acids can be referred below in the form of mind map. Take aContinue reading “Task 4: Amino acid and protein.”

This task requires knowledge on the non-covalent interactions. I have attached the infographics of the four types of non-covalent interactions below! Come, take a look! So how was it? and really sorry for the terrible quality because the options to download it are limited and most of them are paid-type options. However, I’ve attached aContinue reading “Task 3: Non-covalent interactions”

Reflection on interactions between H2O molecules and salt (NaCl) when dissolved in water: Based on my understanding in class, when salt is placed in water, the water molecules will start to pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium andContinue reading “Task 2: Dissociation of NaCl in water”
