Biochemistry

Takemura’s The Manga Guide to Biochemistry offers a dual experience for the reader addressing two very intense and unlikely topics: biochemistry and anorexia. The author poses his messages about eating disorders to the reader in the form of the lighthearted story of a weight-loss-obsessed girl, her nerdy friend, and his attractive professor to teach the reader about the significance of metabolism and molecular biology on one’s health. The plot of this story is certainly cheesy.…

never thought it would be hypoglycemia caused by fructose (HFI). Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is an autosomal recessive disorder, so carriers probably do not even notice this disorder until they have an affected baby with another carrier (biochemistry basis). The frequency…

conferences and develop their writing skills to share their research.For basic jobs in biochemistry, applicants often need a bachelor's degree, a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or a similar degree in the life sciences or biotechnology. Some employers request laboratory work experience. A research-based master's degree, like the Master of Science in Biochemistry, can also lead to a variety of biochemistry positions. Biochemists at this level usually work under the…

extracurricular activities on an extremely busy schedule. While the balancing act between my involvement in ballet and my academic pursuits might differ slightly from pursuing a degree in biochemistry, this ability to manage my time effectively has prepared me for a rigorous course load at the University of Washington as a biochemistry major in preparation for Medical School. Learning to manage my stress levels in times of sporadic…

specialization, because both the subjects were my favorite. I consulted one of my teachers and he suggested me to choose chemistry because in chemistry I could also go to biochemistry – an area I had a natural flair for. He said that opting for this subject would not necessitate me to leave either of the subjects. And he was true because biochemistry happened to be a subject that deals with both nature and nurture. I am keenly interested in human physiology and nature and how they work and how…

explore in their documentary Hungry for Change, where they carefully explore the many contributors to this dispute and provide an understanding, and even as far to say, a solution. In order for the authors to provide their solution, they first use biochemistry as a way of solidifying their argument and explaining the ingredients that are contributing to the present-day drug. They open up with their first claim to obesity as people are “overfed, but they are starving to death” in America. This…

gone out of print in 1980” (16). This brings up the curiosity to why a book – “Comparative Biochemistry” – filled with such endless information would all of the sudden disappear and exist in a single man’s basement. In addition, when comparative biochemistry is brought up to older professors, they all laugh to tell him that no one focuses on that topic anymore; even better, the students studying biochemistry had no clue that particular subject ever existed (Ehrenfeld…

weighing the Pros and Cons of each school using information gathered by each of the tools previously mentioned. Eventually, I made my choice: I wanted to attend Lewis University in Romeoville, IL. I chose Lewis University since it had a stellar biochemistry program, the lowest net price, high-quality facilities, and a social scene that encouraged a studious and diverse student culture. Unfortunately, due to external financial circumstances, I currently am not attending Lewis University.…
