Protein synthesis

The first and foremost process to occur in protein synthesis is transcription. Transcribing begins with an enzyme called RNA polymerase which aids in the unwinding of DNA. Instantly the enzyme will break the hydrogen bonds which originally held the DNA together.  Subsequently RNA will form from RNA nucleotides which can be found anywhere floating in the nucleus. To construct a proper MRNA complementary base paring between the DNA and MRNA is essential. Without proper base pairing the necessary protein cannot be made. This holds true for more aspects than just transcription.  The bases are nitrogenous. And on a DNA strand cytosine and guanine are paired as well as adenine and thymine re paired. RNA slightly differs as thymine does not exist and is replaced with uracil. Once the single strand of MRNA is complete it easily leaves the nucleus finding its way out to the ribosomes which could either be free floating in the cytoplasm or in the endoplasmic reticulum. Leaving the nucleus and traveling into a ribosome directs us into the second stage, translation. During translation TRNA carry amino acids to the ribosome where they can be dropped off at the MRNA, planting themselves  at the correct complementary base pair. At this time only two TRNA s are aloud at a time. The TRNA in the front will drop of its Amino acid and leave, searching for another amino acid where the one in behind will take its place. This process occurs until a stop codon has been read. Amino acids will keep on collecting themselves to make a polypeptide until it’s a complete protein. 

Fetal pig dissection

The fetal pig dissection was the far most complex dissection  in high school. It had many components all in one , such as ; digestive system , nervous( brain) , respiratory urinary etc. At a first glace the pigs where quite diminutive. It is expected as they were not birthed. Its outer body was fully in tacked , eyes closed shut and slightly was wrinkled due to the preservative chemicals. It can also be noted that there was fur surrounding its body. especially long around his eyes , where a suggest pig eyebrow would be and a mole under chin. By feeling his body its bones mussel and fat could be felt. It was also slightly heaver that its size would suggest.

  

 

Down below was the first incision.

At this point we where looking for the erects abdominal mussels  , it was unsuccessful , cutting too deep. 

Next is a picture cutting deeper into the pig without any removal of any organs. 

our image of the pig heart was difficult to see so the second picture is a replacement

down below are some separate parts from the body.

1.  What adjustments and improvements did you make in your lessons (structure, activities, organization, instructions) from the first lesson to the last one?

One is voice , and keeping in simple ( since they are in kindergarten). Almost all of are activity where about following, watching the big kids. We played red light green light , freeze dance which we choose their motions , Simon says . This class we brought a whistle which will help get their attention , one part that needed to be focused on. Today we are also trying a new game and seeing if it will work. It will require more explaining than the other game ; however since we now have some experience it is manageable. We will use a loud clear voice with a simple explanation that each student can understand. And After the last lesson I could tell my voice changed a lot. I did My best attempts to engage the students.

2.  What was the biggest challenge for your group?  For you?

    The biggest challenge for me is speaking. Even though I am the bigger buddies I feel nervous and award. I'm the youngest child in my family so I never talk to young kids. I want to leave a good impression for them , but sometimes I don't know how to word it for them in a way they understand. I am aware At times I start out loud and them become quite and quieter as I go along. That's what I Wanted to work on the most , additionally this can tie into our groups challenge , speaking was apart of it ; however , I feel our speaking was impacted by our organization. The group needed more of a connection to work , The whole lesson was not known to everyone at times or some parts forgotten. better group review time or everyone getting a copy of our activity could have helped some of the confusion.

3.  Describe your favourite moment as a leader and explain why.

I REALY enjoyed seeing the children smile, made me smile in return. My favourite moment leading was the last day when I realized that I was making a difference at that moment I realized my tone changed and I became a different person.


4. What do you still need to work on?  What improvements would you make if you were continuing teaching for another month?

Improvements that would be made would be organization as well as teamwork such as well as the group having alternating speakers. We found great difficulty on finding ideas and our cooperation with each other was fair.

PE Buddies -
1.  What are some of the things that you learned being a PE buddy?

I learned quite a few things from being a PE buddy. For starters , how a  much a buddy could change a child's experiences. I'm able to say this because I can reflect my recollections of my childhood and relate it to the smiles of the children. to elaborate. I would have loved to have a big buddy like myself as a role model it would have changed some of the associations I had as a child. In elementary I never enjoyed PE. To be honest when was team work I would  drift off into a corner.  Witnessing the children smile showed me that they appreciated that hoping people would  just skim their eyes past me and I could hide. That was the opposite feeling each kid gave me. I could tell they were happy and see that they were looking to us. If I was them I know I would be inspired. I strongly feel that if I was one of the children I would be inspired to be the present me.

2.  Did your comfort level change over the course of the month?  Why or why not?

My comfort level drastically changed , especially at the final day. I lost 99.9%  of my nervousness.
I really enjoyed myself . Alot ! It even makes me want to work with kids. At the very first lesson I had the slightest clue on what to expect. Our kids where the youngest group. I was so quiet and my voice was squeaky. Overtime I developed a general scene how to speak to kids. Making my experience more satisfying.

3.  What was your favourite part of being a buddy?  Be specific.

My favorite part playing the games with the children. especially tag. as simple as it was when all the buddies where it and they where it there was so much energy in the room I could feel it.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne affects around 1 and 3,600

it is caused by a mutation from a mutation gene

I searched this topic looking both mussel  nerve related as we are learning both in class and this was what I found.

The Kindy

People without kidneys

Dialysis : (is most common for elderly ) is an artificial way for the body to mechanically  filter the blood , ridding the body's metabolic wastes. It's direct pourpous  to repace lost kidney function in people with renal failure.

 Its interesting to think that machinery could replace an organ ;however, there are some set backs. The most major one is you'll be forced to use it for your life , lying silently for hours waiting for your blood to filter. This may seem like a small sacrifice but for people who don't have a home nurse its back and forth from the hospital. I know this personally because my grandfather was on dialysis and for him it was quite a task. The procedure it's self has its own risks , for one your body could reject it. Other reasons could be that the transition puts your body under too much stress and take 100% of a patients effort to recover. But with all this negative association it still must be worth it because it gives people an opportunity to survive.
