In this seminar, you will discover that proteins need additional processing after translation. You will determine what you know and what you need to know through a knowledge inventory and quiz. You will try your hand at gaming to learn protein modification and structure, or build an RNA molecule to create proteins.StandardsBIO.B.2.2.1 Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.BIO.B.2.2.2 Describe the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and the nucleus in the production of specific types of proteins.BIO.B.2.3.1 Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (e.g., silent, nonsense, frame-shift).
This NetLogo model of leaf photosynthesis shows the macroscopic outcome of the reaction.
All cells, organs and tissues of a living organism are built of molecules. Some of them are small, made from only a few atoms. There is, however, a special class of molecules that make up and play critical roles in living cells. These molecules can consist of many thousands to millions of atoms. They are referred to as macromolecules (or large biomolecules).
