Missed Friday

Those students who missed Friday come early Monday Morning for notes from the lecture.
I understand the material that we have been covering is strenuous but please hang in there a little longer and lets pull through the rest of the semester together. Thank you.

Leaf Cells, Chloroplast, and Mitochondria Quiz

Tuesday Next Week will be a Chloroplast and Mitochondria Quiz

Leaf Cross Section - page 117 - cuticle, upper epidermis, mesophyll, lower epidermis, stoma, leaf vein, bundle sheaths (see page 454 for bundle sheaths - these are cells that surround the leaf vein - important to know for C-4 photosynthesis which you will be studying soon).

Chloroplast - page 117 - inner and outer membrane, stroma, grana, thylokoid space and membrane.

Mitochondria - page 136 - inner and outer membrane, intermembrane space, matrix, and cristae.

if you have questions please see me
