TCA CYCLE WAS'NT JUST A CYCLE… UNTIL BIOCHEMISTRY STARTED. 😂😭🧬

When I first heard about the TCA cycle, I thought:

“A cycle? Fine. How difficult can that be?” 😎

Then Biochemistry introduced me to:

Citrate.

Isocitrate.

α-Ketoglutarate.

Succinyl-CoA.

Succinate.

Fumarate.

Malate.

Oxaloacetate.

I looked at the pathway.

The pathway looked back at me.

And I immediately understood why they called it a cycle...

Because my brain was going in circles. 😭😂

Then came the enzymes.

Citrate synthase.
Aconitase.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase.

α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.

Succinyl-CoA synthetase.

Succinate dehydrogenase.

Fumarase.

Malate dehydrogenase.

At this point, I stopped asking:

“What happens next?”

I started asking:

“Why am I here?” 💀😂

Then the lecturer asked:

“What is the rate-limiting enzyme of the TCA cycle?”
I knew it.

I had read it.

I had highlighted it.

I had even explained it to my friend yesterday.

But in that moment...

My brain decided to run its own metabolic pathway. 😭
Then came the products:

3 NADH.

1 FADH₂.

1 GTP.

And CO₂...

I started counting them like money. 😂

Then they told us the TCA cycle is amphibolic.
I said:

“Please, Biochemistry. We are already struggling. Why are you adding grammar?” 😭😂

But eventually, I realized the TCA cycle wasn't just another pathway to memorize.

It is a central metabolic hub connecting the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Pyruvate enters through acetyl-CoA.

Fatty acids contribute through acetyl-CoA.

Amino acids can enter at different points.

And the cycle generates reducing equivalents that drive ATP production through the electron transport chain.

Suddenly...

The "crazy circle" started making sense.

So if you're currently struggling with the TCA cycle...

Don't panic.

You are not alone.

At first, it looks like a collection of impossible names.

Then you understand the sequence.

Then the enzymes.

Then the products.

Then the regulation.

And eventually...

You start teaching someone else. 😂

Because in medical school...

The topic you once feared can eventually become the topic you explain confidently. 🧬🩺❤️

WHEN YOUR STUDENT ASKS A QUESTION YOU DIDN'T EXPECT. 😂😭🩺

Being a medical tutor looks easy from the outside.

You stand in front of the class.

You hold your marker.

You draw the diagram.

You explain the topic.

Everyone nods.

You feel like you've mastered the subject. 😎

Then one student raises a hand.

“Sir, please, I have a question.”

You smile confidently.

“Go ahead.”

And then the question comes...

Silence.

You look at the student.

The student looks at you.

The whiteboard suddenly becomes very interesting. 😂

In your head:

“Where exactly did this question come from?” 😭💀

You start thinking.

Maybe the answer is in the textbook.

Maybe it's in the lecture note.

Maybe it's hidden somewhere between the clinical correlations.

Then the student adds:

“Because I was reading yesterday and I saw…”

Now you realize...

This person didn't come to class to learn.

They came prepared to cross-examine you. 😂😭

You take a deep breath.

Then you do something every good tutor should be comfortable doing:

“That's a very good question. Let me confirm the details.”

Because being a tutor doesn't mean knowing everything.

It means being willing to learn too.

Sometimes a student's question sends you back to your textbook.

Sometimes it makes you discover a detail you had overlooked.

Sometimes...

It teaches you something.

And that's one of the beautiful things about teaching.

When you teach someone else, you also deepen your own understanding.

So to every tutor who has ever been humbled by a student's question...

You're not alone. 😂

And to every student who asks difficult questions...

Please continue.

Just give your tutor five seconds to recover first. 😭😂

Because in medicine...

A good teacher doesn't pretend to know everything; a good teacher knows how to keep learning. 🩺❤️
