Ketone bodies are produced in the liver and can be used as an energy source in the mitochondrial of peripheral tissues. Important fact: RBCs can not use ketones because they lack mitochondria.

The liver is unable to peform Ketolysis because it lacks Thiophorase (Succinyl-CoA Acetoacetate Transferase), and is hence unable to activate its own ketones.

Medically Important Bacteria: Clasification

I have decided to share how I revise for math since math has always been one of my best subjects.

Do homework. This may not seem crucial but it is important as homework helps you to revise what you have learnt in class.

Ask when you are in doubt. This is pretty self explanatory but math is essentially a subject which builds on what you have learnt in the past. Thus, your foundation for math must be strong. Ask your teacher asap when you don’t understand the concept.

Do assessment books. Books like the ten year series is important to give you a feel of what o-level math examinations questions are like. Basically, just do assessment books to prepare for whatever major examinations you are attending for.

Revise all of your worksheets, textbook and notes. Improving math, be better at solving equations, etc is all about practicing. You can try redoing all the questions in your textbook, notes and worksheets.

Alternatively, you can also come up with your own questions simply by changing the values in a sample question.

There are also lots of resources out there such as Photomath and Khan Academy (these are the ones I personally use) which helps you to better grasp the mathematical concept.

It is the most important to remember the formulas. I usually write down all the formulas I need to remember on the formulas printable designed by @emmastudies

Math problems are pretty standard so you can try to familiarise the method used to solve certain hard problemsums.

Lastly, definitely do not try to cram math. Math has a lot of topics so it is not a good idea to study the day before.
