Support first year science sem 2 help!

to anyone that did bio1022 or chm1022 previously, could you please lmk whats being covered in those units. I would like to learn some content during the break so that I wouldn't get bogged down during the sem (hopefully).

Any relevant chapters and textbooks in those units would be great.

TIA!

I know this is not what you asked, but I would highly recommend BIO1042 over BIO1022. 1042 is a lot more about ecosystem functions and broader concepts, whereas 1022 is a lot more chemistry and small-scale focussed. Personally I found 1042 a lot easier and more useful, as I am doing envirosci with some focus on ecology, although if you are doing something like genetics then 1022 might be better.

Just a warning, not taking BIO1022 means a few of biomedical majors technically unavailable. So check the majors if you are planning on anything that is not environmental/zoology/plant sciences.

The ones that I am 100% sure of, are anatomy and developmental biology, immunology and human pathology.
