Could somebody please explain very simply ...

[MR. BMJ]

I agree...no easy way to explain this question

 

[SteelWeaver]

i tried and failed ..... i thumbed through some books for u right now and found some "textbook explanations".... shit could be in latin for all i know

sorry honey...
bump for Steel

Well, now, LATIN, I could probably cope with THAT! It's the acronyms in chemistry that get me! All those capital letters not making words.

"What if they're written by Fred Hatfield?"

I see your point there. I was thinking along the lines of a 500 level college textbook. Some are not well written, but not stupid. It is usually the student that has the problem.

Thanks dude, I'll choose my words more carefully the next time I aim a question at you, lol. Now, to prove your point ... what's 500 level?

However, if I didn't know that you already know that I'm not COMPLETELY brain-dead, I'd be miffed at your implication. Instead I have to agree - I have a problem! Now where's that simple explanation? If you give it to me in Japanese that might be better. BWaaahhahahaha ha.

Now, I'm going off to study that cool chart MS gave me, and I'll be back with simple explanation for Mr BMJ, in Japanese!

MS,

Get a basic biochem book and start there. Something that would go with a first year undergrad intro biochem or ex phys course.

Levels of coursework. Difficulty increases with increasing levels.


100 - 300 undergrad, usually non-major.

400 - 600 undergrad major

500 - 900 grad minor and major

I hope Wilson6 meant SteelWeaver and not me???

LMAO

Come on MS...you haven't seriously taken a biochem class have ya? Those are for them smart people...

Japanese???...it's hard enough in english Steel....

BMJ

 

[wilson6]

Sorry MS.

Rushing responses = being a dumbass.

Yes, Steel needs the intro biochem book. Funny, sometimes I have to refer to them as well. Age will do this to you.

OMG!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!

Now, wouldn't it be nice if he'd mistaken us the other way around? Now THAT would be a compliment!

Thanks W6 - in my country we call them First Year, Second Year, Third Year, etc. then Post-grad/Master's level, Doctoral, etc. Any specific titles you'd recommend?

Mr BMJ - just trying to prove in an unsubtle way (not that I NEED to, ha ha) that even though I don't know anything about NADH or Krebs, (soon to be remedied) I've managed to pack my head full of some other somewhat obscure stuff, like the sound pigs make in Japanese, or what Japanese politicians mean when they say they'll consider something, and how to write that in kanji.
