let's talk bio.

Today's chamber rehearsal was so screwed!! cos of the silly construction workers drilling like mad the whole time. Mr chan was quite mad and dismissed us half an hr early (excluding break time). Then we were all stunned and didnt register, cos rehearsal started at 830 in the morning..so we all just remained at our seats and stoned for awhile. Mr chan had to shoo us away. LoL.

Anyway, oli and i decided to mug bio. and here's how we rmb the process of photosynthesis:

the light-dependent stage

Firstly, light shines on JEAN GREEN's chlorophyll pigment. JEAN GREEN's chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light, and then one electron of hers becomes high and gets excited! It jumps up and yells"NGEEE!!!" before going back to its original position. This jostles the other GREEN neighbours and the energy is passed to the reaction centre of photosystem II (P680). An electron from the reaction centre then jumps up and yells "NGEEE!" so loudly tt it gets accepted by the primary electron receptor! The receptor propells the NGEEE-ing electron (which is super hyper by now, just like yanhan, haha) down the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). It goes "NGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" all the way down until its exhausted. It reaches photosystem I (P700) and at the reaction centre, a photon causes the electron to become high again! It then goes "NGEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee" all the way down another ETC, reducing NADP+ to NADPH.

The continuous supply of super high and excited electrons comes from the splitting of water.

the light-independent stage (calvin cycle)

The Calvin cycle starts with carbon fixation, where 3RuBP + 3C from carbon dioxide = 6PGA. Then, with ATP and oxidation of NADPH to NADP+, 6G3P are formed. They are the invulnerable team of xmen!! magNGEEto, jean green, joshuanaught, cyclops, shadowcat & storm! However, somewhere in the middle, shadowcat (aka bryan) decides to pangseh the group and leaves the cycle -_-' Therefore, 2 Bryans = 1 glucose. haha. The disgruntled group of 5 xmen carry on their journey in the cycle, and using ATP, they revert to become RuBP again, which is recycled. Bryan will pangseh them 1 out of every 6 times of the cycle. Bio students, go figure out why. xD

Hahahahaha i know its super random, and incomprehendsible to non-bio students, but hahaha! who cares. this blog is random anyway and oli and i will have a good laugh :)
