AP bio : Chapter exhaustion

              I have never worked hard to get really good grades or  pass tests it usually came naturally to me. I am a procrastination KING ! Work wouldn't get done unless the day before it is due. I know, I know its a bad habit. However, I don't really go outside, or hang out with friends so when I get home I have to have my fun therefore homework usually comes last. Now what does this have to do with Ap bio class? It is messing up my " fun routine" when I get home.


             Ms. Lall gives sections to read every night , and there are quizzes and tests every single         *effing week. Right now we are on chapter 9- cellular respiration; How does the cell use what we eat and convert it to energy ? ITS A COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING PROCESS THAT WOULD EXCERSICE THE HELL OUT OF YOUR BRAIN TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION. I love it though ! weird right? but it seems like what I really needed was a challenge and cellular respiration is by far my favorite chapter.


            I learned that life is work ( literally); living cells require energy to work.  Where do they get this energy ? How do cells convert potential energy from food to kinetic energy ? What is the special relationship between you and the entire ecosystem ? I thought I knew the answers, but it was only the surface.  ok it goes like this , animals eat plants or obtain energy by eating animals that eat plants, so that energy flows into the ecosystem as sunlight ( which animals convert to heat ) and leaves as heat.  Pretty easy to master right ? yeah i think not.
