God i hate that class! Its impossible.

We're learning the Calvin Cycle, Krebs Cycle, Cellular Respiration and we have a test tomorrow.

I'm in Honors and everyone has a C or a D.

Anyone willing to help me out? Give me the basics. The book and the notes she gave us are totally insane. I need a simpler explanation.

Tnx.

there IS no simple explanation for glycolysis, Krebs, respiration, and the pentose phosphate pathway.

you just gotta sit through that crap and memorize.

Not biology. More like fiction.

I know biology. Have been doing that stuff since junior year in high school. What do you need to know specifically? Basically Calvin cycle is for photosynthesis and Krebs is for respiration. They are almost opposite of each other.

Ah, I remember when I took biology during the year, first semester, goofed off and I got a D+, second semester, tried really hard, got the same grade :( Took it over the summer and the first semester I got a B despite working my ass off, second semester I got a C... It shows that even retaking the class for the second semester was of no use because it's just a hard class. Well Tough it out, go over your notes, if I've learned anything from taking that class is that your notes at a billion times more useful than just reading the farking book.

Study notes
Study concepts in your notes
Memorize
Test your self,
Go over stuff the teacher told you to go over (likely in your notes)
good luck.

One of the best ways to study (memorize) the cycle stuff is to just make a table. Put your cycles on the left, with your criteria on top. You can make columns for requirements, where each takes place, products, etc. Also study the diagrams that your teacher probably gave you too.

I thought that stuff was hard when I learned it too. But it's NOTHING compared to what you have to learn in college level 2 biology. NOTHING!! Cellular respiration is a piece of cake compared to what you have to learn in college lvl2. Let's just say one lvl2 bio test is like your final, and we have 8 tests in one semester. Enjoy the easiness while it lasts.
