By Jeanne Zheng The Primer is launching a new segment called Personal Perspective where students and STEM professionals will share their experiences with school and work in their respective fields. By doing this, we hope to provide our readers with greater insight into future careers they may be considering and help them learn more about what their peers are doing, academically or otherwise, to achieve their own goals. The graphic below contains images that belong to their respective creators (not to The Primer); others like the images featured in the graphic can be found on the credited accounts, so please go check them out! In addition, the graphic itself was made using tools on Piktochart. Finally, we'd like to thank Tiffanny from Indonesia (@peachesstudy) for letting us use one of her pictures as an example in this article. ![]() For the first article in this series, I interviewed 5 students across the globe in Asia, Australia, Canada and the UK to learn what their academic lives are like and the thoughts they have on their school systems. They were all part of the studygram community on Instagram, a contemporary of the recent studyblr trend on popular blogging platform tumblr. Most frequently, these students post pictures of their neat notes and journals on their accounts; these “studyspo” (a portmanteau of study and inspo, short for inspiration) posts have arguably become something of an art form, often featuring flowing calligraphy, dainty stickers, and typewriter-neat handwriting. Instead of using social media to communicate with friends or share vacation pictures, these studygram owners spend their time discussing their own academic goals and accomplishments with their followers, and encouraging each other to work smarter and harder. When conversing with them over social media, I noticed that many were welcoming, thoughtful people who offered fascinating insight into what school life was like for students in different countries. We asked them these questions:

Cellular respiration is a major process occurring in heterotrophs that provide energy to power cell metabolism. It has three main steps: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain (oxidative phosphorylation and chemiosmosis). You should know the basics of what happens in each part for the AP exam; in this article, we will further discuss the first step, glycolysis, as well as its relevance to oncology (the study of cancer and tumors). |
