A very cute Prof.....

was checking my email ... looking at all the questions posted by various people regarding LSM 2103 Cell Biology ... when i came to this particular email.... i reallie think that Teo Tian Seng is uber cute.... haha


Your question
What do you mean when you say that apoptosis is active death whilenecrosis is passive death? What is the meaning of active and passive inthis context?

My answer
Apoptosis death is not death by accident. An example of death by accident is when you stand by the road side and a car runs out of control and hit you. You did nothing and your death is rather passive

However if you planned your death then it is more akin to apoptosis. You go to a gun shop and buy a gun and 2 bullets. Then you write your will and you make funeral arrangements and then you take the gun, and shoot yourself. This is no accident. You take an active part in killing yourself. This is apoptosis




For those coming to Life Science in NUS... look forward to meeting Prof Teo bah... he's reallie quite cute... haha... but of course.. there are those lousy lecturers.... and of course lousy TA from a certain land... *ooPs* ...
