Project Pepsin: Enzyme

During the holiday seasons, people across the United States indulge themselves in holiday foods; fried chicken, mashed potatoes, ham, cakes, cookies, ice cream, egg nog, turkey, stuffing, and in Snooki's case, fried pickles. In order to help break down this heap of food, the enzyme pepsin is on the scene. Pepsin is the first in a series of enzymes that digest proteins. In the stomach, protein chains bind in the deep active site groove of pepsin, seen in the upper illustration and are broken into smaller pieces. The food is broken down into energy for cells to use as metabolic fuel or construction of new proteins.

I chose this enzyme because of it's unique stucture and ability to break down foods. It is important to us in the sense that the honey ham you ate last Christmas won't completely go to your thighs. In other words, it helps to speed up and simplify the digestion process so that you won't be putting on extra weight.

Let's Rid The World...

...of hypocrisy, lies, and immaturity. Let's rid the world of people who find pleasure in hurting others, both mentally and physically. Let's rid the world of pain and sorrow and the sense of worthlessness. We all deserve better, but only you can begin the change.

Contradiction.

Today my zero readers, the thing that is eating at my soul is the school system.
As much as I enjoy coming to school to learn and socialize, I have begun to notice it's many flaws. In one of my classes, I discovered the teacher does not bother to look over my assignments to see what I missed, but instead, looks for completion. After having many heated discussions with both the rest of the class and the teacher, I was offered to opportunity, by the teacher might I add, to stay after school to grade everyone's homework myself. Not only was I flustered at her snooty remark, it infuriated me to find someone with the nerve to make such remarks to someone who already has to much on their hands. Teacher, if you're going to assign the homework, why don't you grade it? If you don't feel it is necessary to grade our work, why assign it in the first place? Trust me, bloggers, I adore school, but doesn't that just grind your gears?! I could go on and on, but it gets me going just to blog about it.
