Ap Chemistry Reflection
1. A class that I believe was most particularly significant to me is AP Chemistry. Prior to enrolling in the class, I was mostly breezing through school without having to put in a considerable amount of time for homework and studying purposes. A few weeks into the course however, I had realized that this class was not going to be even close to the ones I have taken before in terms of the rigor and depth of understanding required to succeed. Now that I have finished the course, albeit with a B first semester and an A second semester, the experience that I have gained from this class cannot be found elsewhere. The class allowed me to rejoice when it turns out that I was able to answer even a mere part (a) of a free response question, as problems were involved and required a lot of effort for understanding rather than simple memorization. AP Chemistry has undoubtedly aided me and expanded my

All of the sciences relate to the practice of medicine. For example, when examining a specific drug or medication, chemistry is involved because of the specific elements and bonding location (e.g. cis-trans isomerism) involved, causing the mechanism of action to be one way instead of the other. Another example would involve biology, where in biotechnology scientists are able to create designer babies through eugenics, editing and manipulating the genes of an offspring. Physics is involved in a particular instance like receiving an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), where strong magnetic fields, radio waves, and field gradients are used to form images of the body. Many other subjects are also vital to the practice of medicine including statistics, which allows us to organize our data in a way that we could understand the results and draw a conclusion; psychology, which allows us to understand behaviors and disorders (cause) that lead to the production of medicine (effect); and calculus, which allows us to calculate the rate of change of the surface area of a growing
