liich, I shall relate to you an old memory--a mnemonic device I used way back when when I was in AP biology. When we were doing the biochemistry part of the course, we had to know a lot about major pathways like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle and all that good stuff. I was still trying to figure out(and to a certain extent still am) the logic to the reactions, so I couldn't just deduce that "This goes to this goes to this", which meant I had to do some memorizing. Glycolysis and the ETC I just had to memorize outright, but for the Krebs cycle I managed to come up with a little story to help me remember. Unfortunately I think I've forgotten a coupe of the parts of the story(not to mention I think a couple new things have been learned about the cycle since then), so I'll fill them in as needed. Furthermore, the story doesn't help with enzymes or with the stuff before citrate--only the compounds that go through and some of the stuff that comes out in the meantime, and it helps to have some idea of what's going on. For reading(since I know this isn't familiar stuff), I suggest here.
( Once upon a time... )
On a slightly different note, it appears we have a new showerhead in the suite bathroom. A *nice* one too--one that doesn't squeal when it's on and with multiple settings like massage settings and everything. There's gotta be a catch somewhere. Maybe they're just keeping that one on until they can replace the old one. I can't see the uni giving us nice showerheads just 'cause, you know?
