EduPaper Products Biology Magnets

This Biology Series set of 4 Stone Magnets features The Cell, Meiosis and Mitosis, and The Central Dogma. Inside every cell, tiny organs called "organelles" are busy with the biochemistry of life! Mitochondria, the cell's "powerhouse" convert sugar to energy. Enzymes contained in the lysosome chew through biomolecules so they can be recycled. The nucleus of the cell is the master "command center." It contains most of the DNA and controls almost all the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression. The nuclear DNA is transcribed into RNA which is translated into amino acids with the help of the ribosomes and assembled into proteins! Mitosis is the process of cell division. First our DNA replicates and then it separates into its own cells. In mitosis, one cell (the parent) turns into two (daughter cells.) Meiosis is a special type of cell division reserved just for making reproductive cells, otherwise known as "gametes". In meiosis one cell becomes four, each with only half the correct (final) number of chromosomes. Don't forget, 5% of all proceeds are donated to local Arts and Education organizations.
