Anyone in cbse biology ? Heres a way to learn the fucking krebbs cycle

“Cindy is kinky so she fucks more often”

Cindy = citate and cis-aconitate

Is = isocitrate

Kinky = ketogluterate

So = Succinyl COA

She = succinate

Fucks = Fumarate

More = Malate

Often = oxalo-acetate

Entropy - Science Post

Welcome to my first official textpost, this one’s gonna be about ENTROPY!

“Delta. What’s entropy?”

Well, I’m glad you asked, take a seat, let me learn you a thing or two about entropy.

The quick explanation is entropy is the measure of disorder in a system. The more ordered the system is, the less stable it is, and vice versa, the less ordered the system is, the more stable it is.

“How the [place an expletive of your choice here] am I supposed to remember that?”

Think of it this way.

When you have a messy room, it takes less energy to maintain, right? When the room is messy, you can toss whatever you want anywhere, it’s not really going to mess with the state of the room: messy.

When you have a clean room, if you toss things around, it’s going to make that room messy. The more energy put into a system and the more ordered it is, the more unstable and easy to mess up it’s going to be.

Recap:

Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system. When the system is easier to mess up, it is less stable. When the system is harder to mess up, it’s more stable. We can compare this to a messy room versus a clean room and the energy it takes to maintain each.

Enjoy your newfound knowledge!

Learn or refresh on biology with me

Hi all,

I am starting a new... “thing” on my blog-- I will be posting “cheat sheets” on various biology topics to either facilitate learning or refresh myself + others.

My motivation for this is the memory loss I have endured over the past year. Unfortunately, there are multiple sources. I have learning differences which have enhanced this, but over the past year and half I have had multiple brain traumas/traumas that have affected my memory. However, I must persevere. My goal is to work in conservation, and until I absolutely cannot I will do whatever I need to to achieve.

I believe anyone can learn and succeed in science. But everyone must take their own path and accommodate their own needs. I believe in you. And lets learn together!

I will tag my posts #Learn-Biology-With-Me typed out it would be #Learn Biology with Me

how to get a 7 in biology sl

(part 1/3)

in general:

- past PAPERS

- youtube videos

- use the study guide 

- ASK QUESTIONS PLEASE

- don't stress too hard about IA but also stress about it slightly (i only just nabbed a 6 for my IA, but overall i got a 7)

- always write a point extra  (e.g write 6/7 points for a 5 mark question)

- KNOW THE SYLLABUS!!!

websites for study:

paper 1 - multi choice:

1. do as many practice papers as possible, i did all of the paper 1 since 1998, and after a while, i could complete a paper in 5 mins. literally, this paper is where u can get the marks, and it's so easy to do after practicing 100000 times, so STUDY for it PLEASE

2. do quizlets and use bio ninjas multi-choice app!!!

paper 2: 

1. practice the front section (section a) because they tend to repeat the structure and questions. 

2. for the long answer questions at the back, PRACTICE THEM. look at the paper, look at the mark scheme and keep practicing!!! find a way to structure ur answers as well, i used bullet-point format, which saves time. ALWAYS write a point extra (e.g write 6/7 points for a 5 mark question)

3. PRACTICE PAST PAPERS PLEASE

4. know all the diagrams (amino acids etc.). the questions that ask them have loads of marks and they are super easy once you know the diagrams

paper 3 - option topic paper:

oh yikes. i don't even know how to approach this paper, so just make sure u know the content for the option topic and just keep doing practice papers!

ia:

just make sure u do it on something that ur interested in!! ur gonna spend a lot of time on it, so make sure u do it on something you won't lose interest in.

Any tips on how to study for biology?

yeah sure i’d love to share some! 

With biology its important to ensure that you know and understand the concepts. A lot of it is very factual and you simply have to learn it or memorise. 

So flashcards for definitions a must! for each topic consider making a set of flashcards. As you write you’ll begin to remember key words and identify them as well as associate concepts relating to them. 

Then I also find making summary sheets helpful. For each subtopic I try and fit all the content in the 2 sides of an A4 sheet. This should be done after you have thoroughly studied the topic. 

As for mind maps, I find they’re hard to use to study as they don’t cover details. However if you’re studying for several topics for a big exam, then you can use mind maps as of keeping track of all the subtopics for each bigger topic. 

Also if you need to learn how to draw diagrams…make a separate booklet for all the diagrams you need to know and the information associated with it. That way you can have a reference to all the diagrams you need to learn from the entire course. 

I also find studying biology with a friend and explaining concepts to others helps you get it clear in your own head and makes you remember better. Also hand write all your biology…it helps with retention, much better than typing. 

Biology honestly is all about how many times you revise the material using different methods. As you keep studying regularly, it will become much easier to understand and be able to apply the concepts in the exam as well. 

Hope that helped :)
