Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Posted by: " mystir " ykcul_ritsym ykcul_ritsym What do you know about left right orientation in organic molecules, and mirroring and chirality ? I heard a little about it, but for even the operation of cellular metabolism, I have a lot of catching up to do. Is this referable to yin and yang? ------------------------- Hi Fran, Nature makes right handed carbohydrate molecules like dextrose (glucose) and left handed amino acids. She's never heard of " organic " molecules as that's a human mental construct. All of Her species are made with the same specs, same connective tissues, same amino acids. Her amino acids are the same in plants, fungi and animals. Example, I lived with a small, skinny, elegant female white cat named Nuria in 1977 when living in Boston studying meditation. Nuria always knew when I started my morning meditation. She climb onto my lap and purr while I meditated. She would sense my closing, stretch, and saunter over to the 3rd story bedroom window and jump out. The first couple of times, I ran over to see that she had landed on the backyard grass okay and sauntered off in to her day. I've been teaching anatomy with dissection now for 22 years and mostly taught with human cadavers. I did teach cat dissection ); on two occasions at Chabot College in Hayward, CA. Cats only weigh a few pounds but use essential identical connective tissue materials (cells, fibers, ground substance and their elaborations). They have more complexity to their musculature than we do. Being small is quite an advantage to do what most people do but do so with less impact and less wear and tear. I think about that a lot when I do tai ji or engage in trail running and cycling. Regarding food, amino acids are identical in plants, fungi and animals. Polypeptide sequence in chlorophyll is not so different from that our own myoglobin. Magnesium ion in place of iron ion in ring structure makes it green instead of red. Photons travel a few less nanometers, so they do green. Most animal species (including fish) get their omega-3 fatty acids from plant cell membrane phospholipids. I do that, too. I don't like asking someone else to do what I can do directly. Respectfully, Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
