Building Curiosity, Confidence, and Concept Clarity in Biology Students in a simple and fun way.

The session covered biotechnology, including DNA manipulation, restriction enzymes, gel electrophoresis, recombinant DNA, PCR, reverse transcriptase, and genetic engineering with CRISPR-Cas9. The Student learned about the use of these techniques in medical applications, such as insulin production and immunossays. The Student was encouraged to take a quiz on biotechnology to assess understanding.

The session covered gene regulation, focusing on the lac operon in prokaryotes and gene expression control in eukaryotes. The Student learned about the components and function of the lac operon and how transcription factors regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. The next session will cover chapter 17, with a focus on biotechnology and viruses.

The Tutor and Student reviewed cell structures, including cell organelles like the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. The Student also practiced microscope magnification calculations and discussed genetics calculations like Punnett squares. The Tutor sent the PPT on cell organelles for review.

The Tutor and Student reviewed muscle tissue types and functions, including skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles, and also dived into cellular respiration, covering glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. The Student will review the material for finals and send the syllabus for the next semester's course.

The Tutor and Student reviewed the types of tissues found in the human body, including epithelial and connective tissues. They covered the classification, structure, and function of various cell types within these tissues, such as squamous, cuboidal, and columnar epithelial cells, as well as fibroblasts and adipocytes. The next session will continue with muscle and cardiac tissues.

The Tutor explained translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including initiation, elongation, and termination. The Student reviewed cell structures, organelles, and their functions, as well as the endosymbiotic theory. The next session will cover tissues and membranes, followed by cellular respiration.
