    Why Do Acids Donate Protons and Not Electrons?

    Acids do not have to be positively charged. It is kind of relative. H2O+ ?!? Chlorine gives hydrogen its proton? I think you mean the chlorine ION (Cl-) donates e- to the hydrogen ION (H+) to form HCl. H3O+ is positive because oxygen at a its most stable non-charged state has 2 free...

    Choose Between AP Chem & Biochem for Chemistry Major

    How can you do biochem without genchem and ochem lol?

    Synthesis of proteins in Euk. cells

    lol have you taken general biology? mRNA is transcribed from DNA, which is in the nucleus lol. it's then exported through nuclear pores to be translated into proteins. the nucleolus is in the nucleus and it's primary purpose is to make ribosomes. the actual process from gene to ribosome is...

    Is organic chemistry really necessary for molecular bio research?

    Lol this is old, but I was creeping your threads and posting in them so... Take a super basic example like the ring formation of simple sugars like glucose. Without organic chemistry, you would have to take this on faith. On the other hand, with ochem, the structure of linear glucose...

    Would learning PDEs also allow one to deal with ODEs?

    Would this be enough Fourier analysis? http://www.math.umn.edu/~olver/pdn.html

    Would learning PDEs also allow one to deal with ODEs?

    i heard PF has good academic advice. CC is useless. what about for biomedical engineering? would i require more math like dynamics and chaos/fourier analysis/PDEs?

    Do you still find popular science books to be enlightening?

    Lol to me, popsci books either 1. Talk about speculative pseudo-science and the "future". 2. Attempt to convince you of the "legitness" of well-accepted science like evolution, as if you should be in serious doubt.

    Would learning PDEs also allow one to deal with ODEs?

    Are PDEs or ODEs more useful? Especially in biochemistry/molecular biology. Would learning PDEs also allow one to deal with ODEs?

    Math for Biology: Which Courses to Take?

    Could I get some advice for which math to take for biology? Here's a list. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=432385 Thanks!

    Question about what math to take.

    What about dynamical systems?

    Question about what math to take.

    Well the prereqs for these classes are only linear algebra/differential equations and multivariable calculus which would be fulfilled. Some of these require sequences, series, and foundations though. I crossed off ones that I don't feel all that interested in.

    Question about what math to take.

    For biotech/biochem/biology? Or something just really interesting to take. Next year I can take 2 of these. Fourier Analysis Fourier series, integral/transform. Convergence. Fourier series, transform in complex form. Solution of wave, heat, Laplace equations by separation of variables...
