One thing I learned in cell biology is how cells use signal transduction pathways, like phosphorylation, to control proteins and cell activity. This helped me connect biology to my biomedical science coursework because I can now see how chemical reactions in chemistry are directly involved in how cells function. For example, enzymes like kinases use ATP, which relates to concepts I learn in chemistry about energy transfer and molecular interactions. It also connects to pre-calculus because understanding rates and changes in biological systems, like reaction cascades in signaling pathways, is similar to thinking about functions and how they change over time. This made me realize that biology is not separate from math and chemistry, but built on both. It has helped me grow as a student by making me think more critically about how different subjects overlap instead of studying them in isolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
