I'm not doing it.

To quote a certain somebody, "This doesn't turn me on".

lol that blows, thought you guys would be up for it. Come on, it'll oonly waste 10 minutes of your tmea (since you would loose in the first rouns , *points at agozzer and gryph*)

[Gryph]

If I learn all these by tournament time, then I'll do it: http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemistry/b...o-acids_en.html

 

By the way, I won't learn them by tournament time.

*shakes head* god I hate science, even tho it's the savior of many thigns and probably helped start the era of computers, I still despise the way theres so much knowledge hidden in it...

Do you have to learn all those?

 

Jesus Christ on a stick, I wouldn't want to be in your line of work...

[Gryph]

Yeah, and that's only some of the structures I have to know. I have to know the monosaccharides to 7 carbons and other special ones and each of their isomers, 4 disacchirides (sucrose, maltose, lactose, and cellubiose), a few oligosacchirides (only the blood groups thankfully), some polysacchirides (amylose, amylopectin, cellulose, chitin, peptidoglycan, glycogen, hyaluronic acid, and heparin).

 

That's just the carbohydrates. I also have to know lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids (these are easy.)

 

Lipids:

Omega 3 fatty acids, linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaneoic acid, triglyercides, steroids (cholesterol, cortisone, estradiol, testoterone, progesterone), Vitamin D and it's intermediate forms, phosphatidic acids, phosphatidyl esters (lecithins, cephalins, inositides), sphingomyelin, cerebrosides, gangliosides, Vitamin A, E, and K, eicosanoids (prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrines).

 

Proteins:

Just those amino acids I posted earlier. No other structures luckily. I just have to know the basic structures (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary) and function of them. Also the purines and pyrimadines which make up nucleic acids.

 

Nucleic acids:

dAMP, dCMP, dGMP, dTMP. DNA (A, B, and Z forms) and RNA.

 

59 pages of notes + stuff from text book makes a nice 6.70 mb PDF file. It's actually not as bad as it looks since many of them can be grouped together and learned that way. Also, for most of them I don't have to know how to draw them, just recognized them on the test and decode pictures with them. Also, the most important part about those is to know the actual function of them so that's just remembering what goes with what. It looks like a lot but once they're broken down into managable sections it becomes easier. Plus, this is the first test and that's always the hardest.

 

I better get back to work.

..........gryph, wtf did you just say? I thought this forum spook english , not, w/e that is!

[Gryph]

Exactly, this is stuff you don't want to get involved with. It's absolute torture...and I love it!

[Lucandrake]

Gryph is going to be rich in life, to bad I won't be there to witness it all, im going to try and achieve immortality by jumping off a river and going to heaven
