Protein Synthesis - Kevin Diaz
Protein Synthesis
Main Idea: Protein Synthesis is a unit that teaches you the steps in how a cell creates protein, it also ties in with DNA and it's a interesting unit because the activities that follow along help you better understand the process of protein synthesis.Information:
- What is the function of RNA? Carry out instruction from DNA for protein synthesis.
- 3 types of RNA: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
- mRNA - It makes a copy of DNA and carry the copy from the nucleus to the cytoplasm so that the information can be used to make a protein.
- tRNA - It transfer amino acids to ribosome for protein synthesis.
- rRNA - It controls ribosomes formation in the cytoplasm.
- RNA polymerase - An enzyme that aids in transcription.
- There are 20 amino acids.
* Transcription: The process of creating the mRNA from the DNA template.
* Condon: The codes for a specific amino acid
Summary: I learned how protein is created in a cell and it was actually surprising to me how all of it tied down to stuff that was introduced early to us like DNA. It was a learning unit because it was more of understanding the steps and learning what everything meant more than just observing stuff. I knew that ribosomes created protein so I had some background , also protein is made up of subunits called amino acids. I actually liked the objective because of the labs and group activities that we did with this unit, it was a lot of fun while learning a very important unit. I can apply the protein synthesis to my work force because it’s sorta like the DNA would be the manager and of course the workers would be RNA, and the final result that can play as protein would be the tacos or any food from Taco Bell. You can also apply it to other jobs such as fast food, basically any job that has a boss.

You have a lot of detailed information in simple terms which helps.
ReplyDeleteWhat is one of the DNA sequences?
The 4 building blocks of DNA: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
Nice and organized. I like how you have your simple terms. Your reflection was really good.
ReplyDeleteThis post was very informational to me. This is a topic that I sometimes get confused with and your post will be a good reminder so that I will do well on the test. There was a good amount of information and it was all helpful.
ReplyDeletethis post was very well set out. i like the fact that your summary was a paragraph. I think you could have put a video in there
ReplyDeleteLots of information, looks like you put lots of time and effort into making this. Summary was a good length, and I like how you took extra time to make the text different colors.
ReplyDeleteLots of excellent information. Was very easy to understand. Helped me understand it better. Good picture. Great post Kevin ! You had all the information you needed.
ReplyDeleteI love how bright and 'out there' your post is, it made me excited to read about it! I also love how you related this to Taco Bell. Your information and reflection both made this really easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteI love the entire post. It is super inviting and gave a lot of information than can easily help someone out if they have no idea what it is. The Quizlet is also helpful! There isn't anything you need to add at all. Fantastic post :D
ReplyDeleteThis whole post was just great. The way you set up your information made it easier to understand. Your picture really helped too. It was pretty cool how you related it to Taco Bell in your reflection. I would've put a little more information but other then that it was good.
