LETS MAKE BIOLOGY EASIER!!!!

 hey guys.. i know biology is an easy subject to those who can retain huge amounts of info in their brain..but there are certain shortcuts... somethings can be done to make things easier..that is the purpose of opening this forum...plzz share your cheat codes here.. useful ones will be rated surely..let me start...u all know tissue system..there are many types of tissues..let me tell you those of squamous epitheliummsquamous..mesothelium , endothelium, henles loop , lungs alveoli, bowman's capsule , ...it can be memorised as MEHAB ... cuboidal epithelium proximal tubule(PCT), pancreatic duct  , distal tubule(DCT) , germinal epitelium of

 another one....

it is for the ETC in mitochondria...

there r 5 complexes in inner mitochondrial membrane...

the electron flow is like this..

FMN ---->  FeS ------> Co Q(coenzyme Q or ubiqionone) --- reduced CoQ ---> cyt b--->FeS ----> cyt c-----> cyt a---> cyt a3 ----> to oxygen ion.

or if FADH2 is present, then FAD ----> FeS ---> coQ  then the pathway is similar...

so for this, i came up with a mnemonic...

Fins of Foetus of Corkfish and Belly of Cat arent Analogous stri (girl in sanskrit)

every  ' of' stands for FeS ...

Corkfish = CoQ

arent = cyt a

analogous stri = cyt a3

belly = cyt b

FINS = FMN

Foetus = FAD

plz develop it if possible.. but it is more than enough for biology students to memorise this cycle/...

hey seepi and others too.. the above one.. just rearrange it to Never Let Monkeys Eat Banana's ..it gives relative abundance of the cells in the blood plasma in descending order.. neutrophils > llymphocytes> monocytes> eosinophils> basophils.. this one was not made by me...

i'm sorry cp.. i overlooked that by mistake.. to correct it.. i'll present another mnemonic.. very fine one that i came up with... (  that should be decided by you)...
 
Citric acid cycle ....
 
citric acid ---> cis-aconitic acid----> isocitric acid--(NAD ---> NADH2) --> oxalosuccinic acid (OSA) --> alpha-ketoglutaric acid (@-KGA)
 
--(NAD --->NADH2)-> succinyl coA ,---> succinic acid ------> fumaric acid ------> malic acid --(NAD--->NADH2)--> oxalo acetic acid (OAA)----> again citric acid....
 
and to complicate things ( not actually !!!) in some steps NADH2 is formed, and in some FADH2 is formed.....
 
so..  here is my mnemonic...
 
Commonly, All sisters Isolate OSAma's KG- amputates Sharply Suceeding in Filming Meteorates (actually meteorites) Ascending only above...
 
now..plzz note that whenver a word ends with  -ate here, in that step,  NADH2 is formed.....that 
 
here... Commonly - citric acid
 
All sisters = aconitic acid cis form
 
Isolate - isocitric acid....
 
OSAma = oxalosuccinic acid
 
KG-amputate =  @-KGA
 
Sharply= succinyl coA
 
suceeding = succinic acid
 
filming = fumaric acid...
 
metoerate = malic acid
 

only ascending above = OAA  

hope it helps...

A useful mnemonic to aid recollection of the abdominal retroperitoneal viscera is SAD PUCKER:S = Suprarenal glands (the adrenal glands) A = Aorta/IVC D = Duodenum (second and third segments) P = Pancreas (tail is intraperitoneal) U = Ureters C = Colon (only the ascending and descending branches) K = Kidneys E = Esophagus R = Rectum
