That's why I hate food chem. Death to all living things, who needs them? =)
Seriously, before we started I barely knew what the difference between proteins, carbohydrates and fats were, and it was the only area of study this unit I've actually studied for in an attempt to learn it, and it seemed like in class only the forumlas were sticking and any worded things (like enzymes, primary/sec/tertiary structure, hell even what the functions of proteins are) were sifting through. On the other hand, I remembered without effort amino acids are zwitterions in water, such a funky name
See, before food chem I wouldn't have known what 'amino acid' means
The only thing I like about it are the carbon/nitrogen cycles o_O
