How much chemistry do I have to know for Biochemistry?
Q. I'm thinking of taking biochemistry but do I have to know how to do general chemistry or organic chemistry? Is biochemistry more like general chemistry?
Asked by Jamal - Thu Oct 8 21:32:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You have to have both general and organic chemistry. Unless you have both, you will be lost. There is a way to get to biochemistry faster, if you are very disciplined and a self-starter. Get a book from a large library called "General, Organic, and Biochemistry." It will give you only as much general chemistry as you need to understand organic, and only as much organic as you need to understand biochemistry. Such books are used in nursing schools to bring nursing students into biochemistry in one semester. You will be lacking in all the general, organic, and biochemistry that you should know, but you will be there.

How to prepare being a Biochemistry major?
Q. I have several questions about being a biochemistry major: (1) On average, how many hours of study time do you devote per class? (2) In biochemistry, is calculus and higher level math needed to understand complex organic/ inorganic chem? (3) Were there curves at your school? (4) And is it a competitve field? Thanks for the responses.

A. I am currently a senior with Biochemistry as my major, with hopes of continuing on and getting my Ph.D in that field. 1) I would say that the amount of time required to study for each class will vary depending on your specific abilities, and level of the course which you are taking. It does require a lot of studying, because like other natural sciences you not only have to memorize a great deal of information (structures, mechanims, formulas, techniques) but learn how to apply them. If I would have to give an estimate it would be around 2 hours of studying per credit hour per week regularly, and increase this to 4 as exams get closer. 2) Biochemistry is a topic that touches all parts of the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology)… [cont.]

How successful can a biochemistry major be?
Q. I am a biochemistry B.S. major at UC Santa Barbara but I am worried that I won't be able to find a good job using my degree. I was wondering how successful first-year biochemistry majors fair in the job market i.e. what is their starting salary, what are the potential salary and jobs for people with the same major, and what is the job market demand for people with my major.

A. I suggest that you also consider going to graduate school. An undergraduate degree in biochemistry is just a starting point if you want to work in that field. If you want to go to graduate school, consider UCSF, a fine institution in a fine city where you can spend the rest of your youth.

Biochemistry question: What will happen if you put salt water plants in freshwater?
Q. Hello, What will happen if you put salt water plants in freshwater? Will the plants die from the difference of the water concentrations? Please explain from a molecular level since this is a biochemistry essay question. Thanks a lot!
Asked by Max - Wed May 7 00:31:43 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Water goes where the salt is. If you put salt water plants into fresh water, the cells will absorb water and explode. Conversely, if you put fresh water plants into salt water, the salt water will dehydrate the freshwater plants, sucking the water out of the interstitioal spaces, and the cells themselves. Think about how adding salt to foods preserves them. It helps to dry the fluids in the jerky, dried fish, etc.

A. I did my undergraduate degree in Biochem, and most of my friends in the program went onto graduate school to either do a Master's degree or PhD. The only job opportunities in Biochem is research and development, such as working for a pharmaceutical company or at a university as a tech or professor. With just a Bachelor's you may find a position as a lab technician but higher education like graduate school is needed to get a better position if you are interested in research and development. With a bachelors you may also find a job as a sales representative for a company (equipment supplies for labs etc.), but it may require extra training or schooling. Bear in mind, if you do wish to go to graduate school, then it will take 2 years… [cont.]

What is the best way to study Biochemistry?
Q. I am currently taking Biochemistry in university and I currently study by rewriting the notes, making diagrams & flow charts, rewriting formulas for repetition. This is not enough, are there any other ways of retaining info (especially chemical formulas)? Thanks.
Asked by fc_karpaty - Thu Jan 25 22:55:36 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. make note cards of all the chemical formulas. carry them with you where ever you go. then when you have a second pull one out and just study it. then later when you have another second, pull that same one out again and look at it more. (the best way i retain formulas is by repetition of seeing it. if you keep on seeing it every 10ish or 30ish minutes very briefly each time, it will get drilled into your head.)
