Memorize Number Of ATP

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do I need to memorize number of ATP NADH FADH2 made from each step during glycolysis, krebs cycle, and etc.
You should know the overall result of the reaction in which 2ATP 2NADH and 2 Pyruvates are formed. See my Bio Notes for more clarity on this where it is spelled out in easy to understand language.

And one more thing, is it important to memorize the 6 steps of the calvin cycle?
 
No....Just understand what each step does on the way to Glyceraldeyde 3 Phosphate. I am always happy to help if you have more questions.

So, I looked over what happens and understood the calvin cycle, is it important to know how much ATP and NADPH is used up in the cycle, like specifically for the reduction step. I think that is a little overboard right, no need to memorize that much in detail right?

I would know the following....
1. The Calvin cycle refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps.
2. Although the Calvin Cycle is not directly dependent on light, it is indirectly dependent on light since the necessary energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reactions.
3. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule.4. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP+, respectively.5. In the last stage of the Calvin Cycle, RuBP is regenerated, which enables the system to prepare for more CO2 to be fixed.Hope this helps.

Did that answer your question?
 
When is your exam?
Also, do we need to know about post-translational modifications, like what modifications the golgi apparatus does. I have DATBooster, and some of these biobit questions, which are like the extra practice ones are way to in-depth and I'm honestly suprised because I doubt they would ask such a niche question. Also, there are questions about chaperone proteins, which the notes don't have. Is it important to know about chaperone proteins? There seems to be so much content, but not all of it's in the notes.

When studying complex topics like post-translational modifications, it's crucial to use reliable materials authored by experts. For example, my Bio notes cover capping and the poly-A tail in precisely the level of detail you need.

Chaperone proteins play a vital role in protein folding. When they malfunction, it can lead to severe conditions such as prion diseases, including Mad Cow disease. Utilizing credible resources can help you grasp these concepts thoroughly and avoid the need for a retake.

Do you think these are more low yield topics?
 

Low yield topics? Where are your students learning this terminology? This is a crucial aspect of molecular and cell biology! – Our materials contain the information you need to score high on the exam, There are no shortcuts to high DAT scores.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I was hearing the term low-yield thrown out for some topics, but was just curious about this.
