One more day to freedom



Bio P1 wasn't easy. We all agree that it was much harder than previous years'. By the way, I think the excess glucose is also converted into fats!!!! Nothing mentioned about the liver doing it though. It doesn't say so in the textbook but the Internet says:
"When you eat a lot of carbohydrates, you are in a long-lasting high glucose period. This means your pancreas will release a lot of insulin, and yes, fat cells will take it up, and make fats."
"However, if there is excessive glucose in the body and the muscle and liver tissues have made its maximal amount of glycogen, the excess glucose is converted to FAT!"
"Fat (namely triacylglycerol) is made of two compounds: fatty acids and glycerol - both which can be synthesized from glucose breakdown."

So does that mean I'm right? Does it? Does it? Q8, I put the liver converts excess glucose into fats AND glycogen :/

Okay screw Bio. I hope I'll get an A for Chem, seriously. AHHHH OMG

Studying with Yingyan on Wednesday:
Guess who -.-
See, she's in white but carrying a black bag, and I'm in black but carrying a white sweater :D You know, yin and yang HAHA
Her gross habit of eating with hands. She's holding a piece of FISH, by the way. We were sharing Fish & Chips. She's putting tartar sauce on it. -.-
