The names Bond, Atomic bond
For the second project of the year, we focused on how DNA and proteins effect the body! We covered everything from how proteins are created to what goes wrong if its created incorrectly. My group studied type 2 Diabetes.
Useful Terms
Amino Acids: Amino acids molecules used to build proteins, 20 of which are known! They are assembled by ribosomes using instructions RNA.
RNA: RNA is a single strand of DNA. mRNA is used to transfer instructions to ribosomes. tRNA transfers amino acids, and rRNA makes up ribosomes.
Protein synthesis: Protein synthesis is the process in which protein is created. This takes place in ribosomes.
Codon: A codon is a section of three nucleic acids in a RNA strand. Each section of 3 connections to an anti-codon.
Anti-codon: An anti-codon is connected to the end of a tRNA block. While fallowing the line of anti-codons, a protein will be created. Below is a chart that to show what anti-codons fit what amino acids.
Polypeptide chain: A long chain of amino acids. This is the pre-assembly phase of protein synthesis. The amino acids are there, they just need to be folded.
Proteins: Proteins are macro molecules that complete work within a cell and the body.
Polymerse: Polymerse are enzymes responsible for creating RNA. They do this by "unzipping" DNA, copying, and reassembly it.
4 Sections of protein folding!
1 Transcription!: This is the process of copying DNA into RNA!
2 Translation!: This is the process of assembling amino acids into a polypeptide chain!
3 Folding!: The protein is created via folding using agoraphobic and philatelic protein.

What the h*@k is Type 2 Diabetes
For this project, my group studied Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is disease that impedes the body's ability to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. While the body continues to produce insulin, it is unable to enter the cells. Treatment can include a healthier diet, exercise, or even a life style change.
Reflection
Over this project, I feel like I took a back seat to Heston and Tyler. They may have done at least 80 percent of the work. I feel that I was rather unfocused and took rather lackluster notes and work, such as playing coolmathgames instead of taking notes, of which I only took the bare minimum. In the future, I will take care to work on what is needed, rather than myself. On the contrary, I feel that I was pretty accepting of people trying to input their own ideas, mostly because I didn't try to argue back.
