Ether- ROOR like EitheR.
Deuterosome is close to A so forms the anus.
Peanut butter - Propane butane.

Gibbs free energy besides the obvious S positive and H negative it's spontaneous or vice versa.
However if S and H are both negative it's spontaneous at low T because a negative is a low number.
If S and H are both positive, then it's spontaneous at high T because a positive is a higher number.

GC3 Guanine cytosine triple bond. Kind of like a basketball player ex.. CP3 Chris Paul 3.

Also visualizing much stronger than mnemonics. I visualize my friend Arrhenius sailing into the sea, hence he was the once that came up with H+ donor in water is acid and OH- in water is base.lol
 
Seven Up!
Seminiferous Tubules
Epididymus
Vans Deferens
Ejaculatory Duct
No N
Urethra
Penis.

I probably spelled things wrong but this mnemonic saved me any time I saw a question about sperm development/transport.

Here's one I created while studying for Kingdom Animalia classifcation

Privileged children play nicely and maturely, Arthur ensures cooperation

Privileged - Porifera

Children - Cnidarian

Play - Platyhelminthes

Nicely - Nematoda

And - Annelida

Maturely - Mollusca

Arthur - Arthropoda

Ensures - Echninoderma

Cooperation - Chordata

Anytime there is a letter that occurs twice (like P,C, A), the beginning of the word has some hint in it for the animal it represents

PR..ivileged… - PoRifera

Ch…ildren – Cn…darian (Ch looks like Cn)

PLAY - PLAtYhelminethes

Nicely – Nematoda

ANd – ANNelida

Maturely – Mollusca

ARTHur – ARTHropoda

Ensures – Echninoderma

COoperation – CHOrdata

Hey this is really helpful, but I was wondering why you didn't include rotifers in the mnemonic? Please respond, I've got my DAT coming up soon and got this memorized down well, I wouldn't want to add anything in if I don't need too!

The above mnemonic deals with the nine major phyla of Animalia, which are most frequently tested on the DAT. However, if you're looking for all phyla in the Animalia kingdom, here's a good image (source: http://www.mta.ca/~raiken/Courses/INACTIVE/1001new/LECTUREMATERIAL/PDF/24-EchinodermsEarlyChord.pdf)
