Today I confronted my teacher about who I am. I told him I
had never taken any scientific class before and barely even knew what an amino
acid is. He was very surprised of course and said that if I decide this is just
too much I can transfer to Bio 1010. I think that might be best. I spent five
hours today (so far) studying for lab tomorrow. I really help all goes well. Here
is a list of things I have to study, that I haven’t yet, for tomorrow and for
the test on Monday.
Leukocyte, Lipid raft, cytoskeleton, actin filaments,
microtubules, motor proteins, mitochondria, setresome, translocators, endoplasm
reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chemokine, g protein, integrin, I-cam protein,
spontaneous generation, choroidal border, photo receptor, metric unit, permit,
extravasation, cell architecture, biology microscopes, prokaryote, eukaryote,
nuclear envelope subcellular, centrifugation, homogenize, differential density,
lubrication, cellulose, chitin, nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, phosphate groups,
atp, nad, nadp, fmn, fad, gtp, monomers, polymer, cell content, sucrose
gradient, sodium electrons, nuclei, C1-nucleus, forms of carbon,
electronegativity, opolarity, carbonyl group, glycosidic, carbohydrates, ester
bonds, lecithin, lipids, membranes, animal cell, plant cell, homogenization,
centrifugation, centrifugal forces, stearic acid, saturated fats, plasma
membrane, carbon bases, sodium hydroxide, choline, lecithin, rigidity,
cellulase, aldehyde, hydrolyzed bonds, amylopectin hemoglobin, diester bond,
rule of complementarity and its bases. Double helix, chromatography,
phosphomolybdic acid, ninhydrin, carbohydrate chemistry, moolisch test reagent
and all of the amino acids and their functions.
This is a kind of adventure I have never thought I would
have to have. Heavenly father, please keep my brains intact for the test next
week, and the quiz tomorrow, and everything else this week...
