HOMEWORK FOR Tonight or Tuesday night-  Watch this Kahn video on cell division and take notes with him- pause as needed-color code as he does. I will check your notes on Wednesday! https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/cellular-molecular-biology/mitosis/v/mitosis videos to review cell specialization, organelles and stem cells TED ED stem cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evH0I7Coc54 Bozeman- cell specialization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp6L5emD8rw Cell organelles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URUJD5NEXC8 mitosis / meiosis window pane list https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnN7einzDvSs2tHu3MWMDm8crbm-v7PJVnxsGuysPNQ/edit?usp=sharing

By the way my Monarchs are getting big! https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2016/monarch-butterfly-07-05-2016.html I'm pretty sure this one should be headed to Mexico soon!! 1. Chloroplast- organelle found only in plant cells, it makes chemical energy (sugar/ glucose) using solar energy (sunlight) to combine water and carbon dioxide.  2. Mitochondrion (singular) - responsible for breaking down sugar (glucose from plants) into a more usable form (ATP) for our cells. Found in animal cells and plant cells. Cells that do more work have more mitochondria in their cells (muscle cells and sperm cells have the most!). 3. Centrioles- organelles found only in animal cells that are only active during cell division (mitosis) where their job is to make sure that duplicated DNA strands get pulled apart evenly. 4. Ribosomes- found in plant and animal cells, they are responsible for building proteins and enzymes in a cell by using instructions they receive from the DNA via an R...
