Expositary..
One statement that caught my attention was that the foldings in the brain sometimes differ in persons....I wonder why and what effect that has. -

Okay a quick question. From the early demo with the steel ball actually falling but is seen to be sent into an orbit. Although it wasn't mentioned but instead of the steel ball falling to the lowest possible distance, it continues in that circular path as a result of the action of centripetal force acting on it. Would that be correct?

I'll admit i'm still a little fuzzy on the internal frame of reference. Does that mean if i carry out an experiment on a ship at rest and another in motion, both ships are refered to as Galileo's frame of reference. Also, why won't a body falling in a vacuum move at a constant velocity. Help me out

Impressive demo. I just realized that the reason i never liked physics in school was probably because teachers never gave simple and straight forward demos with physically observable objects,just lots of notes to read. Glad i took this course. I've always thought there was a relationship between music and the Universe,didn't realize Pythagoras and Kepler...

Okay... I realize google seem to be the most widely used search engine but honestly..... I didn't know of any other search engine until i took this course. So thanks much, very helpful

Loved the question on the Roman Emperor...it was fun having to go search out the name and translation.... Go google!!!

Wow, must confess i struggled for a while but after going through some hints from the discussion, i solved it in about 10mins.....thanks to @Sally Goldman and @Shirley Gordon

Hi.. I'm a really curious scientist, basically a fresh undergrad from BSc Biochemistry. I love music a lot and i think my interest relates more with Prof. Alexander R. J. I've always thought music has a language of it's own and would love to explore how it interacts with the body to initiate motion and micromotion. It's an amazing and fun study, definitely...

I think puzzles gives you access to the part of the brain involved in reasoning, identification and memory, plus it's fun. It can also be applied to everyday life of approaching problems and solving them

I've always wondered how far the human brain can explore reasoning abilities... Guess maths and puzzles is One step to finding out.. Plus i love to learn

Do enzymes actually lower the activation energy of a reaction or do they just provide an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy compared to the uncatalyzed reaction... Need to be clear

Besides the fact that glucose is a readily available source of energy for the body, could there be any other reason why the body prefers to first use up glucose before resorting to fatty acids..... Or could it be because of how important glucose is to the brain?

I think what makes enzyme so significant in the study of life processes is how they are able to catalyze chemical reactions at an incredible and unimaginable short amount of time in-vivo compared to how long the same reaction takes place in-vitro. All that just to sustain life

Omg, got a lot to say but i'll try to give a summary. This section is highly appreciated cos it sheds light on the relationship between these topics ; glycolysis, citric acid cycle and biological oxidation. How that the products of certain pathways serve as subtrates or stimulators of another.
John walker's work on ATPase greatly eased the understanding of... -

Okay i must commend the efforts put into week one. It was insightful, welcoming and had a way of initiating a kind of excitement to look forward to the next week. Getting more interested. Thanks

My idea of biochemistry is how this course unveils the mystery of life at the molecular level.
The cross over point of chemistry and biology in Biochemistry is emphasized here, how that the knowledge of the reactions and interactions between molecules in chemistry relates to that of biomolecules in living systems -

1..No i don't think so. Every aspect of biochemistry has it's own uniqueness and significance. It mostly depends on one's area of interest through which one hopes to make an impact
3...I also do not think any biochemist is more important than the other... Each one makes a contribution to understanding the mystery of biomolecules
4..I'd say X-ray... -

I think a training in Biochemistry improves one's sense of reasoning, also the ability to pay attention to details yet make sensible deductions from them. It teaches patience and accuracy, especially involving 'methods in Biochemistry'.... I hope to gain all the above mostly because of my interest in research work

Hi i'm Lola. Currently a 4th year undergrad student of Bsc Biochemistry. Recently discovered my deep interest in the world of biomolecules and life. Looking forward to exploring this interest and being a part of a research team. This is my first online course.. Excited

I always imagined molecules speaking a kind of language to one another to produce results. Once the structure of a molecule is known, lots of info about such molecule is discovered... It's amazing
