chloroplast/chlorophyll

I just finished writing my notes for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and all including the light-dependent reactions and independent reactions and i'm finding this part the most difficult thus far. Do past biologists agree? or is it just me? i mean i had to read it like 4 times before i fully understood it and even now i need more consolidation on it.

P.S do we have to learn about C3, C4 and CAM and if anyone has notes on these i would appreciate it cause they a bit confusing too.

To put it simply, it's a bitch.

It's just something you'll have to invest a lot of time into to get all the information you need and then to memorise it all. Since the Biology course isn't clear to what extent you need to learn these reactions, just go as far as you can with it I guess with the time available to you. If I can find my USB with my year 11 work on it, I'll upload my respiration/photosynthesis notes later which break it down quite nicely I think.

lol, this was one of my favourite parts of Unit 3...

......but it's hardly anyone else's favourite parts.......

I think it was my favourite part because I actually enjoyed learning the fundamentals of photosynthesis and respiration coz I was fascinated by how organized and pro nature can be in setting up these things. I think if you feel daunted by it, it's always going to be harder than if you are curious about it.

But yeah its best if you know as much as possible. Best advice I can give you is think through it logically. Think about why it happens like this

It was one of my favourite parts after I conquered it I guess since it was one of the few parts where I was actually able to learn it to pretty much a uni level as opposed to some sort of dumbed down VCE standard.
