How Origami Had A Big Impact On My Life

Decent Essays
Origami, it has been around as long as we have been on this planet. Evidence of this has been around and in us all along. Origami can be used in many different ways. I think that origami has had a big impact on my life by making DNA, helping NASA build satellites, and helping bugs fly. Let’s begin!

“Origami has had a big impact on my life by making making DNA”, let me explain. DNA is made up of a bunch of different proteins. Those proteins are also made up of a bunch of different particles grouping together and forming a specific shape. They form this specific shape by folding and molding the specific shape. The proteins then have to fit in a specific place or they will be used for something else.

“Origami has had a big impact on my life by helping NASA build satellites.” let me explain. NASA is trying to build a satellite that can be compacted to fit inside of a rocket. Using origami, they can make a solar panel that can fold to fit the diameter of the body tube. Solar cells could be transferred to a strong, foldable paper. So when it goes into space it folds out to it’s actual size and generate power to run the satellite.

Sometime this can be a bad thing, like with mosquitos. But think about how many crops that are saved by bugs that eat crop damaging bugs. The way that bugs use origami is in their wings. When bugs are done using their wings they have to fold them in their hard exoskeleton so they don’t get damaged.

What are ways you can see origami helping you in your everyday life? How can you bond with other people using origami? When do you think you will use origami? Origami has had a big impact on my life by making my DNA, letting us see the far reaches of our galaxy, and helping bugs fly

    1. DNA Structure and Function DNA is the type of organic compound that stores the genetic information in a living organism. DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides, which include a phosphate group, five carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Each individual strand in held together by strong covalent bonds (a bond formed as a result of the distribution of electrons between atoms). The two strands are then joined to each other by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases.…

    Gum!! I would have to say that gum is the single most awesome invention in the world. I say this mainly because I would have never thought that something could be made to where it was edible; that could start as a solid piece of perfection, and then gradually transform its self into a stretchy, balloon blowing, way too much fun to play with when you are done piece of gum. All of this just in a matter of moments after chewing and savoring that juicy flavor of perfection. Though I love me some Juicy Fruit and Double Bubble, I must admit that I did not always have these feelings towards gum and all of its awesome counterparts.…

She found that under certain conditions, a large number of polyamide molecules "line up in parallel to form cloudy liquid crystalline solutions. She took a chance and spun the solution into fibers that became stronger than any fiber ever created thus far. It was resistant to tears, bullets, and a lot of extreme conditions.…

    If you had told someone in the early 1800’s that every cell in your body contains something called DNA made of molecules called nucleotides (DNA) that determine every characteristic about you, from your height and eye color to whether or not you’ll get a certain disease or condition, they would think you were crazy. Today, most students learn about DNA in middle school biology. DNA was first discovered by a German biochemist named Frederich Miescher in 1869, but its importance was not realized until 1953 (DNA). Genetic testing, “a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins” (What is Genetic Testing?), however, was first done in the 1910s with ABO blood typing (O’Neil). Today, testing is used for determining paternity, determining a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder, and to confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition (What is genetic testing?).…

Nearly every cell in a persons body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus ( where it is called nuclear DNA) but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called Mitochondria DNA or mtDNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: Adenine (A), guanine (G), cystoine (C) and Thymine (T).…
