Hello, I just wanted to see if anyone else has had any horror stories with biology teachers. I personally have had quite a time with my foundations of biology one teacher. She has difficulties using proper grammar in her lecture ie.) What is does the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration.
Also, my personal favorite is having questions on an exam that have a wrong/skewed answer
ie.) What is the starting point for glycolysis?
A.) Fructose
B.) Glucose
C.) Any 6 Carbon molecule that can be converted into glucose
D.) G3P
E.) Sucrose
One would assume it would be glucose because it IS the only way to start glycolysis. However, in her opinion it was any 6 carbon molecule that can be converted into glucose. The funny thing is, it has to be converted to glucose for glycolysis to start. There are about five or six other examples but I am just too lazy to find them all with finals coming up. The point of this post is just to make sure I'm not going insane.
Thank you.
