Protein
For this project every group decided on a certain protein that they wanted to represent. To represent the different proteins every group made a poster showing how and where our body's make them. My group chose to focus on insulin. Insulin regulates glucose level in blood. This hormone is secreted by the pancreas.
Central Dogma- This processincludes DNA, RNA, and Protein DNA-Carries all genetic instructions RNA- Carries instructions from DNA for controling the synthesis of proteins Protein- A molecule composed of polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds Transcription- process by which DNA is copied to RNA Translation- RNA is used to produce proteins Protein synthesis- genetic code puts together proteins in the cell Protein synthesis- process by which the genetic code puts together proteins in the cell. |
This project went well. As a group we decided tofocus on insulin andas a group we found all the needed information. I learned about central dogma and I also learned that insulin regulates glucose level in blood.
