When Making Proteins
a: Amino acid ~
b: the chemical alphabet soup making protein
What: Alphabet soup is an okay association for amino acids in your body. There are about 20, depending on how you count. The individual letters in this soup, can can be joined together to build structural proteins such as collagen. The protein have a "spelling" if you like. In that there are particular sequences that build specific proteins like there are specific letters that used to make specific words with specific meanings. But the amino acid can also be for energy production. It depends on the physiological state of the organism and cell in question.

b: a natural, worldly state of mind
What: "The sea, with its atmosphere of cold, heavy water, is like a natural, worldly state of mind. Sometimes it pictures a state quite evil and unheavenly. The storm on the sea represents excitement of the worldly thought, which threatens to swallow us up from the light of heaven"

a: safe sex ~
b: walking along the sidewalk
What:
"You seem to at least have your facts in line. The way I usually put it is that unsafe sex is like running across a busy highway, whereas safe sex is like walking along the sidewalk. Yeah, in both cases, a car can plow into you. But doing the latter is FAR less likely to result in getting hit by a car."
