Biology

This year Biology was our science class. Before the start of this class, I disliked biology because it seemed to have nothing to do with the area I was interested in at the time. However, with the progression of this course, I realized that there is much more to Biology than I originally thought. I became intrigued with how cellular processes work and I realized that these functions are similar to each other. This class really sparked my interest in Biology and was a valuable science class. I learned many new things about Biology and health in this course.

This work was a group project about Mitochondria. Before researching and making this slideshow about Mitochondria, none of us actually knew how exactly it worked. During the making of this presentation, we created a research document to document everything we learned about Mitochondria. Since this was a group project we divided up what we were going to research and present. My task was to research and present about "Life without Mitochondria" and Muscular Dystrophy. I decided to include this project because I learned a lot about mitochondria and its uses, and it is an example of my group work. Although I only had two slides (6 content slides was the limit), it is an example of how I work together in a group of people. We all equally split the work amongst each other and did everything equally. Although it looks like we did not write much on our slides we elaborated on what was written on our slides. This work helped me learn more about mitochondria and genetic diseases. After this project, our class learned about genetics and genetic diseases. This project was really helpful to me for learning more about how genetics connects to cell organelles like mitochondria.
