Our Geography class made beautiful Ukrainian eggs
this week.
Biology Class
We are closely examining the DNA processes. I wanted to share a few interesting facts:
We have approximately 21,000 - 25,000 protein coding genes. Everything in our body is
connected to some type of protein activity. Our DNA is just an "instruction manual" on how
to make proteins. Proteins are made of amino acids. Amino acids are made up of carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen atoms. There are 20 different amino acids, that's the easy
part!
Some genes, contain 1,000 amino acids, the shortest has about 125 amino acids. THE
LONGEST HAVING APRROX. 34,000 AMINO ACIDS. Remember amino acids make up
proteins. Our body is made of 2 million different protein types.
There is so much more, but I wanted the parents of my students to get a full picture of how
awesome and very complicated our body is. Today we extracted DNA from peas. The
students were amazed. Of course, we could not view the typical double helix because that
is a representation of what is seen under an electron microscope.
Back to the beginning, DNA’s basic purpose is to store information that leads to the
manufacturing of proteins, which are used in thousands of processes and cells within our
body.
