I've studied 12 hours for my molecular cell bio final

[WindRavenX]

My brain is bleeding. x( x(
Ask me anything related to..um, molecular cell bio.

[JohnKleeb]

1. Can I breed a porcupine and a taco?

[WindRavenX]

4. ouch

Just...ouch x(

[JohnKleeb]

5. fine a burrito and a book

[babylonsister]

2. OK. For or against stem cell research?

I am hoping that has some bearing on your test, and perhaps lives...

[WindRavenX]

3. for, duh

If people knew just how awesome undifferentiated cells were...::drool::

[miss_kitty]

6. So, will you seek a job in the biotech industry?

:hi:

[WindRavenX]

8. not smart enough

I'm a BA, not a BS. Organic chem and I didn't play very well together.

[JohnKleeb]

10. frankly from the other people I know who have taken that course

I don't think anyone plays well with organic chem except that polish lady who you always think is french because she has a french name, :shrug:

[fortyfeetunder]

16. I loved organic chemistry

Mainly because I had a prof (RIP Dr. W.) who taught us "more" than just the banal organic chemistry reactions. We talked about synthesizing recreational drugs (why it's so hard to perfect), Spanish fly, artificial pheromones in relation to the reactions we studied.

7. No questions

Have a cookie.



And kick that final's ass!

[WindRavenX]

9. mmm...chocolate

Has same chemicals in it that's released during orgasm. Yum.

[miss_kitty]

11. Did you learn that in your studies of biology?

[WindRavenX]

12. no...I mean, yes...

....heh heh heh.
I've conducted experiements....coz...it's...scientific. Yah.

[JohnKleeb]

13. sex and science go well

its part of how Ive come to appreciate chemistry, yep through sexual inneudo, and you know what my grade in there is right now!, a B+!

[WindRavenX]

14. whoa! WTG Kleeb!!

:toast: :toast: :bounce:

That's better than my Gen.Chem grades last year!!

[JohnKleeb]

15. It was the best grade in the class last I checked too

I unfortunely am a week behind because of my cold and my interviewing of a senator today. Really, the teacher has sexual inneduo in his lessons, and it really does help.

[miss_kitty]

23. Had to test the theory.

I totally understand

:evilgrin:

[fortyfeetunder]

17. That explains my cube mates

We have a bowl of chocolate candy in our cube and it's always nearly empty by day's end....a lot of worktime orgasms going on...

[sir_captain]

18. What's the difference between

DNA Polymerase I and DNA Polymerase III? And which one is used in the formation of Okazaki fragments?

[WindRavenX]

19. on edit, I'm dumb

DNA Polymerase III- I think
(I got ligase and polymerase mixed up- d'oh!)

[sir_captain]

20. You've got them mixed up

DNA Polymerase III does the leading strand, because it copies continuously until the entire strand is done; so DNA Polymerase I has to be used to do the Okazaki fragments and then have the gaps filled in using ligase.

(I'm studying for a biochem exam at the moment ;-))

[WindRavenX]

22. omg, thank you

:hi:
Biochem....puke.

[sir_captain]

29. Heh...no problem

I seriously feel your pain... :-)

[lizzieforkerry]

21. Good luck!

Molecualr cell bio was my second favorite class. Mol Gen was my first.

[fujiyama]

24. I just had an exam

in microbiology yesterday.

Fortunately it went well...then again for my major it wasn't too vital. Interesting class...and more interesting than a general bio class.

So how is molecular bio? Is it like a combinatation of Organic and Micro? Organic drove me nuts a while back and I ended up changing my major from Chemical Engineering to Electrical.

[Sufi Marmot]

25. Explain in complete detail all the signal transduction cascades...

...that regulate cell growth and division. ;-)

-SM, Ph.D., who notes that once you complete your graduate school coursework and pass your oral exams you immediately forget silly details like which DNA Polymerase does what...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

26. Tell me about rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Such a cool name...

It is related right?

[Seabiscuit]

27. Is the kneebone still connected to the shinbone?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

28. tubercle vs. tuberosity

Ok, not related... but more cool words.
My husband took human anatomy and physiology this semester.

Speaking of that class, here's a good tongue twister: lower motor neurons. If you say "lower motor neurons" really fast you'll sound like scooby doo.
