There Are Times In Life When People Must Know When Not To Let Go. Balloons Are Designed To Teach Small

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Carl Rogers (via fyp-psychology)

If 69 is two people… well you know. And 99 is two people cuddling. Then 96 is a couple going through some relationship problems.

My gosh, I need to make me one. I never thought of it this way. Only thing missing is the shrimp sauce!!!

Sushi Burgers

Food mashups are right up there with music mashups as our favorite kinds of mashups. In the past, we’ve brought you things like the egg waffle cone. Now, meet your new best friend, the sushi burger. The concept behind it is a pretty simple one: You take rice as the bun and put sushi quality fish or other ingredients where the burger meat goes. But the execution is finger-kissing good. Sushi burgers are all over Instagram. Look at them. (Source)

Krebs Cycle/TCA Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle

Takes place inside the mitochondrial matrix HOWEVER succinate dehydrogenase is bound to the membrane and so this step occurs there. It is the only enzyme that participates in both the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.

Two molecules of carbon dioxide are given off

One molecule of ATP is formed (it’s not, it’s GTP which is considered an ATP equivalent - your examiner may or may not like this)

Three molecules of NAD+ are combined with hydrogen (NAD+ → NADH)

One molecule of FAD+ combines with hydrogen (FAD+ → FADH)

Because two acetyl-CoA molecules are produced from each glucose molecule, two cycles are required per glucose molecule. Therefore, at the end of two cycles, the products are: two ATP(GTP), six NADH2, two FADH2 and four CO2.

How to learn it!!!

Can———-Citrate

Adam———-(cis)-Aconitate

Intrigue———-Isocitrate

A———-alpha-ketoglutarate

Super———-Succinyl-CoA

Sexy———-Succinate

Foxy———-Fumarate

Mama———-Malate

Ok!———-Oxaloacetate

(i stole this mnemonic from here)

Here’s a gap-fill game for practise

note: Citrate= Citric Acid, Fumarate= Fumaric Acid, etc…

Enzymes

For MOST of the enzymes, the name of the enzyme consist of the molecules it modifies(the molecule directly before it, and the function the molecule carries out)

If you’ve learnt the above order then you can use this to apply that

So———-citrate Synthetase

At———-Aconitase

Another———-Aconitase

Dance———-isocitrate Dehydrogenase

Devon———-alpha-ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase

Sipped———-Succinyl-CoA Synthetase

Down———-Succinate Dehydrogenase

Five———-Fumarase

Drinks———-malate Dehydrogenase

3 out of the 4 dehydrogenase enzymes will remove 2H (and an electron)  from the molecule an put it onto a NAD;

remove a CO2;

and NAD –> NADH2. 

The only exception is Succinate Dehydrogenase which places 2H atoms on an FAD molecule instead of an NAD 

I'm that first person born...

Because of time zones, the first person born in a year can be born before the last person of the previous year.

Hide behind that baby face.

How can I ever appreciate happiness again when you were the first and only to bring me this experience in ten years. Now any form of happiness felt is followed by depression and regret.
