From blood to milk: Graphical systems modeling in secondary‐level biochemistry courses

Abstract: Given the present need for biochemistry and molecular biology educators to transform their courses into an online format, novel methods aimed at promoting student learning and engagement must be considered. Herein, we describe the integration of graphical systems modeling as a tool for introducing biochemistry to secondary-level students. We propose the use of graphic technologies as a way for students to create systems models that describe phenomena of life, such as lactation. Through these endeavors, educato… Show more

“…For livestock producers, this is crucial as the development of intramuscular adipose tissue bestows a desirable flavor in meat products and thus enhances product value. Herein, we see an opportunity for students to develop a model that explains the hierarchical nature of tissue physiology (15) in multicellular organisms due to the molecular action of a molecule like PPARc (HS-LS1-2; Table 1) and the background behind breeding programs aimed at enhancing livestock production (HS-LS3-2; Table 1). Furthermore, this same example demonstrates how a molecule like PPARc can allow the code of DNA to produce proteins necessary for differentiating preadipocytes (HS-LS1-1; Table 1).…”

“…While the bovine mammary gland begins to undergo allometric development during pre-and postpubertal stages, most mammary development primarily occurs throughout pregnancy and epitomizes upon the onset of lactation. By providing students with this anatomical perspective of the mammary gland, they can be exposed spatial visualization of tissue development (21), which can be critical for learning (15,22).…”
