So bored now... Trying to remember the processes hydrolysis, osmosis, phagocytosis, active transport and diffusion. Today I visited the prestigious National Asian Museum. Pretty nice... With all the artifacts, I seriously think they are just trying to show off. (Fingers, stop being so random!) Anyways, trying to remember solutions to test for different things. Glucose, Benedict's reagent. Protein, Biuret's reagent. Starch, (Oh this is easy)iodine solution. Lipids, ethanol. Emulsion formed. Vitamin C, DCPIP. (Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, takes the colour away from this reagent) What was I thinking about? Oh yeah it's the different kinds of nutrients. (Or is it?) Carbonhydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid. (Learnt about deoxyrebonucleic acid today) Enzymes and acids, blablabla... The parts of the digestive system=mouth, salivary glands, epiglottis, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, duodenum, ileum, large intestine, colon, appendix, rectum, anus. (Yes I managed to memorise them!) Temperature and pH affects enzyme activity. Too hot, denatured. Too cold, inactive. Sterile=cannot reproduce/rid of microbes. Enzymes are highly specific, do not cause reactions to happen and are affected by temperature and pH. (Why am I saying this again?) Now on to expository essays. Darn la! Cannot state the obivious, cannot use cliches, cannot use broad generalizations (don't blame me if I spell this wrongly, I am so confused now), and cannot say things that you are about to do something. It's not that I stink that essay writing, but trying to remember these are really a nuisance. Damn. I am really trying to not start the flame war here. I am so exasperated. 输得不甘心. Really man... Trying to juggle between French, English and Chinese is really hard. Plus Philosophy. I'm not saying I hate Philosophy, in fact, I like it! But, so many subjects really inflict a lot of stress. And some more, I was dazed when I found out next week got chinese compo, history and math CCT. Dang. My life stinks. This contradicts the song that goes "What a wonderful world"...
