In Honor of Exam I:
(Today at 7:30 AM)

Some of the cool things about lipids and BCHM 765:

Their location in cells is based on evading water

Understand how you keep thinking and your heart keeps beating even when you are starving to death

For at least one day in your life be able to draw the beta-oxidation pathway

Their movement through a human body is based on avoiding water

When Grandparents talk about LDL and HDL you know what they are talking about

Know how protons could move through a membrane via aquaporin in a manner similar to electron movement through wire…and why they don’t

They hate water

The Professor sings about ATP — really cool :}

Things not so cool about BCHM 765:

Have to know about the following pathways: beta-oxidation, fatty acid synthesis, synthesis and oxidation of ketone bodies, cholesterol synthesis, TAG synthesis, Phospholipid synthesis and maybe some other little thing…like net ATP yield of linoleic acid.
