We were learning it (I was glossing over then swiftly forgetting it). This and photosynthesis (okay and my serious procrastination / laziness) are what gave me a D in AP Bio (weighted i think)...
Before I even saw the title of the post I recognized the picture as the Krebs Cycle. That was the hardest thing to learn in A&P and it remains in the background, but I'm always cognizant of it to some degree.
I thought that was the chart the JAL crew schedulers use to plan out circadian rhythms.
ReplyDeleteYou must learn the Fate of Pyruvate!
ReplyDeleteLOL- it only gets better :-)

ReplyDeleteRelease the ATP!
Heh, did you get into "metabolic channeling" to explain the chirality of molecules going through the Kreb's Cycle?
ReplyDeleteCause that is utterly fascinating right there.
