EDIBLE DNA MODEL

20160108_092407

Today, in science class, me and my partner created the model of DNA with some marshmallows and toothpicks to represent those four bases: Green- Guanine (G), Pink-Cytosine (C), Yellow-Adenine(A), Orange-Thymine(T)

what is DNA?

DNA ( deocyribonucleic acid ) is two stranded molecules that carries the instructions in the nucleus.

what does it do?

It’s a structure that every living things have and what makes you being you.

And DNA provides instructions to make proteins.

surface area vs volume

What is surface area?

The surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the sides that covers the surface of the object.

formula for the surface area

(rectangular prism) A = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

 

What is volume?

The volume is the amount of the space that an object occupies.

Formula for the volume – l X h X w

 

the difference between surface area and volume is for the surface area, you just add all the areas of the object and volume, you just multiply length,height,width together to find it.
