Biology concept taught by Dr.Trusha
The session covered glycogen metabolism, with a focus on glycogen breakdown and synthesis and the regulation of these processes by glucagon and insulin. The student reviewed the steps in the glycogen breakdown cascade and the differences between insulin and glucagon receptors. Homework was assigned to write out the full names of the abbreviations used during the session.
Allosteric Regulation of Glycogen Phosphorylase
Regulation of Glycogen Synthase
Insulin vs. Glucagon/Epinephrine Receptors
PFK and Glycolysis Regulation
Glycogen Breakdown Cascade
The Student took a test on glycogen synthesis and breakdown, covering multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The Tutor reviewed the answers, focusing on areas where the Student made mistakes, and explained the underlying concepts. The Student was assigned homework to review GPCR information.
Branching and Debranching Enzymes
Glycogen Synthesis (Glycogenesis)
Glycogen Breakdown (Glycogenolysis)
Inhibition of Glycogen Phosphorylase
Gluconeogenesis vs. Glycogenolysis During Fasting
Futile Cycle Prevention
Regulation of Glycogen Metabolism by Hormones
The student practiced genetics problems involving complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and co-dominance, using Punnett squares to determine probabilities of offspring genotypes and phenotypes. The session reviewed identifying inheritance patterns and applying them to problem-solving. The student was assigned to check their online school portal for updates on upcoming tests and assignments.
Co-dominance
Hybrid Genotypes
Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Punnett Squares and Genotype/Phenotype Percentages
Incomplete Dominance
The Student and Tutor reviewed cancer hallmarks and tumor progression, including genomic instability, DNA repair mechanisms, and the role of inflammation. They discussed how tumor cells evade immune destruction and the significance of cancer stem cells in therapy resistance. The Student has upcoming exams in cell biology and will schedule another lesson to continue review.
Immune Evasion by Tumor Cells
Genomic Instability and Mutation
Tumor Progression: A Multi-Step Process
Genome Caretakers: Guardians of DNA
The Warburg Effect: Altered Energy Production in Tumor Cells
Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs)
Tumor Microenvironment and Myofibroblasts
The Student reviewed IUPAC nomenclature, functional groups, and sigma/pi bonding in preparation for a quiz. The Student completed a worksheet identifying functional groups and determining the number of sigma and pi bonds in various organic molecules. As a follow-up, the student will finish a naming packet from school.
IUPAC Naming Conventions
Functional Groups
Isomers
Sigma (σ) and Pi (π) Bonds
Cyclic and Aromatic Compounds
Prioritizing Functional Groups
The Student and Tutor discussed functional groups, monomers, polymers, dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis, and the four classes of organic macroolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids). The Student practiced identifying functional groups and understanding the relationship between monomers and polymers. The next session is scheduled to continue discussing organic molecules.
Functional Groups
Cellulose: A Structural Polysaccharide
Monomers and Polymers
Dehydration Synthesis
Hydrolysis
Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Polysaccharides
Lipids: Triglycerides
Phospholipids
