Macro Activities of Body and Mitochondria

 I am a science teacher in a government school. I was teaching the structure of a general cell in my class. I talked about #mitochondria body present in animal and plant cells. I asked a question in class, "Can anybody tell me the function of #Mitochondria in the cell"

One student said, "mitochondria manufacture #ATP molecules which carry energy to #metabolic reactions in any system".

I said "without mitochondria, a cell will not have any capacity to produce the required energy for the system and eventually will die. "

I further said "#mitochondria receive specific molecules like #hydronium and it recycles ADP into ATP, which makes an energetic bond in ATP. That liberated energy is used to manipulate proteins, help in nerve activity and basically keeps one alive. "

Another student asked, "Madam!Basically, we should keep our #mitochondria healthy to keep ourselves healthy. "

I said"There is no magic to keep one's mitochondria present in one's cell healthy. One can't just concentrate on #mitochondria in isolation. What you can do is eliminate all activities on a macro level that can harm your body, like drinking alcohol, smoking, not exercising and staying stressed. These things cause the body over overwork overtime to eliminate the #toxic chemicals and thus also #mitochondria go into overdrive mode to provide energy to a system working hard to clear out the #toxicity.

Moral -Instead of focusing on keeping #Mitochondria healthy, one should focus on living a clean and healthy lifestyle.

Examples of STEM to STEAM

I am #science teacher in a government school. My school principal, Madam, is trying to implement #STEAM discipline into the school. Before the Parents Teacher Association meeting principal said, "Sukarma, please give some real-life examples where #STEM is working #hand in hand with #STEAM."

My submissions were as follows

1.How #civil engineers(STEM) skill goes into designing celebrity #evening gown(STEAM). 2.How bakers beautifully #decorated cakes(STEAM) by knowing basic chemistry(STEM) . 3.How mathematical algorithm(STEM) find use in tik tok(STEAM) showing some lovely #dance performance. 

I have used (STEAM) by putting different types of #stale roti pasted with jam, different types of deserts on the #demonstration table to introduce my (STEM )lesson "benefit of #chemistry of stale roti, how it helps #stale roti in becoming #economical breakfast. "

Principal Madam was very happy to know how the interlinking of STEM a nd STEAM can enhance students' understanding of difficult STEM
