Amino Acids But They Have Evolutions

amino-acids-memes, pokemon-memes, biochemistry-memes, evolution-memes, biology-memes | ScienceHumor.io

When biochemistry meets Pokémon, you get this absolute masterpiece! Someone's brilliant brain decided that amino acids needed their own evolution chains just like our favorite pocket monsters. Alanine evolves into Charmeleon and Charizard? GENIUS! 🔥

The creator perfectly matched each amino acid's chemical structure with corresponding Pokémon. Glycine, the simplest amino acid? Obviously it's Ditto! Arginine with its complex side chain? Zapdos, of course! Even the codons (those GCT, CCC things) match the genetic code that actually makes these amino acids in your cells right now!

Somewhere, a biochemistry professor is frantically updating their lecture slides with this chart because it's the only way students will remember all 20 amino acids. And honestly? I'd ace that test faster than you can say "gotta synthesize 'em all!"

When You Only Take After Your Mom

Dad's genetic contribution? Completely ignored by your powerhouse mom's mitochondria. While Mendelian genetics is all about mixing traits from both parents, mitochondrial DNA says "no thanks" to dad's input and passes exclusively from mother to child. It's literally the cellular version of "I made this" while dad awkwardly stands in the background. Your cellular energy factories are a matriarchal dynasty that's been giving paternal DNA the cold shoulder for generations. Sorry dads, but when it comes to powering the cell, mom's side runs the entire electricity grid!

Pick Your Poison: Anatomy Edition

People freak out about skeletons, but a walking, skinless muscle-man would be WAY more terrifying! 😱 It's hilarious how anatomy diagrams normalize these images for us science folks, but imagine encountering either in real life! Your brain would short-circuit trying to process a walking skeleton OR a glistening muscular system strolling toward you. The real horror isn't the bones—it's what happens when the 600+ muscles in the human body decide to take a solo field trip! Next Halloween, skip the skeleton decoration and go full anatomical model for maximum screams!

People In 1858 Before Darwin Invented Evolution

The joke plays on the absurd idea that scientific theories "create" natural phenomena rather than describe them. Darwin didn't "invent" evolution any more than Newton "invented" gravity—they just explained processes that were already happening! The meme shows a chimp in formal Victorian attire, suggesting that before Darwin's 1858 publication, primates were just sophisticated gentlemen attending galas and discussing philosophy over brandy. Next they'll tell us Einstein invented relativity and before that everyone's cousins aged at exactly the same rate regardless of their vacation plans.

The Original Evolutionary Hookup Story

Behold the original evolutionary hookup story! First, lonely cyanobacteria discovers its true love - photosynthesis. Then, in the ultimate friends-with-benefits scenario, eukaryotic cells slide into the DMs like "hey cutie, wanna move in together?" Next thing you know, cyanobacteria gets completely absorbed and becomes chloroplasts. Talk about a committed relationship! This is literally how plants happened - one microbe ate another and instead of digesting it thought "you know what, I like your energy production skills, let's make this permanent." Evolution's version of "it's not a phase, mom!"

Susstrate: When Biochemistry Is Looking Kinda Sus

The perfect collision of biochemistry and internet culture! The enzyme-substrate complex drawn here is brilliantly disguised as an Among Us character. The lock-and-key model of enzyme specificity has never been so suspicious. That substrate is definitely venting through the active site while the enzyme pretends not to notice. Biochemistry students everywhere are now cursed to see little crewmates in every enzyme-kinetics diagram for the rest of their academic careers.

Virgin Human Vs. The Chad Horseshoe Crab

Humans: *dramatic panic* "SOUND THE ALARMS! DEPLOY ALL IMMUNE CELLS! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Horseshoe crabs: "Blood infection? Cool, I'll just solidify my entire bloodstream. Problem solved." This meme is pure evolutionary flex! Horseshoe crabs have survived 450 MILLION years with their simple yet effective immune strategy. Their blue copper-based blood contains amebocytes that instantly clot when they detect bacterial endotoxins - so sensitive we literally use their blood (LAL assay) to test medical equipment for contamination. Meanwhile, our complex immune system is having a full-on meltdown over every little pathogen. Sometimes simpler IS better!
