Y'know, I was thinking... I've been studying for my AP Bio class a lot lately... And there's much hubbub about endergonic..exergonic..enzymatic reactions. Anyway, I was just thinking, I need some sort of mental enzyme that'll speed me up with the stuff I have to get done. Seriously. I feel like right now I'm going at 15 mph. I need a catalyst that'll get me up to at least 45 mph. What would an example of a "mental enzyme" be? Ritalin? For the non-ADHD? Nah... Caffeine?? No.. Caffeine gets me hyped up for a short amount of time and then afterwards there comes a big drop off and I'm suddenly tired. Just like endergonic reactions: a steady rise and a sharp decline. Some people use quotes or music... It depends on the person.. It's that whole enzyme specificity business. Oy. With "mental enzymes" as opposed to actual enzymes, I wonder if they denature when heated exponentially. Think about it.. Let's say that coffee gets your brain thinking quicker, so coffee is your "mental enzyme". Actual enzymes denature at high temperatures. What would happen if your "mental enzyme" was heated exponentially? 1) "Heating" could refer to extreme stress or pressure and would imply that you get a some nervous breakdown of some sort. 2) Maybe it'll just mean that your coffee would be to hot. Too hot to drink.
Oh, well. :P
Oh, well. :P
