Week Twelve

This week was a bit short. We had a shortened period and started our project in class. On Monday, we saw a video on how small we are compared to the universe. This represented how everything is part of something bigger and DNA is just a small section of a human.
atoms->molecules->a/t/g/c->base pair->codon->gene->strand->double helix->chromosome
We then wrote a cell analogy. Mine was to how a cell was/is like a household.
A cell is like a household because the parts function the same and have the same purposes. The kids who live there are like the ribosomes because they make everything work.The walls are like the cell membrane because it protects the house and is like a skeleton. The parents are like the nucleus because they control everything. The radio acts like mitochondria because it gives us energy. It also helps us keep moving. The love is just like cytoplasm because it holds everything in place. The dog acts like the Golgi apparatus because he sends (chases) everything out of the house that doesn't belong.
The rest of the week we worked on our project, read from the book, and went to the assembly.
