Whether you are taking a Biochemistry course as an elective or are majoring in the field, it is important to study to perform well in your class or classes. You may find the subject fascinating, since it helps explain how the molecules of the human body and other living organisms react with each other and the outside world, or it may be outside of your field of interest. Either way, scoring well in your classes is always important, because a good GPA in college can provide you with more opportunities in college and later in the “real world.” If you need a little Biochemistry study help, then take advantage of the full suite of Varsity Tutors' Learning Tools, including the Biochemistry Flashcards.

These free flashcards online cover many Biochemistry concepts you may be learning in your classes. While you can practice the full deck to quiz yourself on all aspects of Biochemistry, the main deck of flashcards is also broken down into many smaller sets that each focus on a specific Biochemistry concept. This offers you the ability to choose a smaller deck that focuses on the concepts that may appear on your next exam or assignment, so you can feel confident that you are prepared to perform to the best of your ability.

One important concept the Biochemistry study flashcards covers is anabolic pathways and synthesis. Smaller decks related to this area cover carbohydrate synthesis, lipid synthesis, nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and much more. Another Biochemistry flashcard deck covers biochemical signaling, including hormones and neurotransmitters, signal transduction pathways, catabolic pathways and metabolism, and many more related concepts. Additional Biochemistry topics the flashcards cover include enzyme kinetics and inhibition, fundamental macromolecules, identifying molecules by structure, and many more important topics you may need to review.

Another Learning Tool you can take advantage of to help study for your Biochemistry class easier is the flashcards maker. You can use this Learning Tool to create your own Biochemistry review flashcards. To access this tool, you simply click on the “Create Tests & Flashcards” icon. You will then be directed right to the flashcards builder. Next, you will be provided with as many blank flashcards templates as you need to create your own virtual “deck” of Biochemistry flashcards.

While you can always come up with your own questions and answers to enter into the flashcards creator, you can also enter questions from past homework assignments, quizzes, and tests, or other study materials that you want to be able to practice on.

It is a great idea to make new flashcards out of the questions you answered incorrectly on past tests and assignments, so you can then make sure you remember the correct answer next time you face a similar question on an assignment. Be sure to take advantage of the space given on the flashcards templates where you can enter a brief explanation on why the answer is correct or the logic used to solve it.

Biochemistry can be a tough class or major, so be sure to study as much as you can. The Learning Tools Flashcards make studying easier when you are on-the-go or simply don't want to juggle a bunch of paper-based study materials.
