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...

Genetic technology box for biology white sheet homework

Honors Biology Class-copy this 4 times for WEDNESDAY'S CLASS REMEMBER YOUR 8 BOX INDIVIDUAL WHITE SHEET TEST IS ON TUESDAY! Video of white sheet boxes with explanations. The last few seconds got cut off - "if you have 7 different genes then that means you have 14 possible alleles (choices) for the trait!" Also in blood typing, you are just getting one letter from mom and one from dad but there are 3 different possible alleles (A,B or O).
