    It really works, I remember this even though I did my LC in 2002 and haven't done any chemistry in college.

    shamlet.
    There will be no mockery of this book.
    The language is ****ed but the general storyline is great. Guy's dad dies, sees his ghost, finds out his uncle killed him, goes crazy and decides to enact bloody vengance. You just can't beat that kind of storyline.

    I have a handy way to remember that anabolism is the form of metabolic conversion that converts small molecules to larger ones.

    Aliens Steal Babies
    Anabolism-Small to Big

    And while we're at it, one for Catabolism:

    Cats Bite Sheep
