a: Salt lake city ~
b: landing in some California town
What: "Salt Lake City is an oasis in Utah. The rest of the state is full of non-thinking, non-questioning right-wing nutcakes but Salt Lake is like landing in some California town. Seriously. Except for the screwed-up liquor laws (which Rocky has fought to change from the get-go)."

a: Atp ~
b: a dollar that burns up if not spent
What: As noted, the half life of this very high energy molecule is very short. It is so reactive that is will only last about 30 to 60 seconds. So it is constantly being produced, that's why we all gotta eat, but it also constantly being used.

a: educated individual ~
b: a spring, with its internal sources of water
What:
"In an educated organization, learning becomes a renewable resource. An educated individual is like a spring, with its internal sources of water. As a spring replenishes itself when water is withdrawn, so educated individuals replenish their learning when existing knowledge has served its purpose."

a: Hardy-weinberg ~
b: Newton's frictionless universe
What:
"In evolution we have seen many students who are perfectly capable of carrying out all of the calculations associated with Hardy-Weinberg problems-they are algebraically adept. However, they do not recognize that Hardy-Weinberg is, like Newton's frictionless universe, an ideal state; a baseline against which to measure changes in populations. They treat the Hardy-Weinberg formula as a tool for solving problems and not as a powerful model to gauge the extent of changes in gene frequency and then as a basis for considering what factors might have caused those shifts in gene frequency."
