=ODMS 1/25= The following animations outline the steps of mitosis. Add as many slides as necessary to fully outline this complex process. These slides should come before your slides on DNA replication. media type="file" key="Biology - Cells - mitosis stages.swf" width="680" height="680" media type="file" key="Biology - Cells - mitosis.swf" width="680" height="680"

=ODMS1/19= First, finish collecting pictures and writing descriptions for weeks 4-40. If you need the links, please look below at the assignment from 1/12

Once you have the pictures AND descriptions for weeks 4-40, you are going to create 4 new slides. First, watch the animation and read the links below. To make the animation play, click the orange arrow that is on the far left side of the screen and about half way down. Then scroll below the animation to see what needs to be added to your presentation.

Organelle Analogies
To your "Parts of the Cell Presentation", add a brief explanation why the organelles listed below are like the thing they are paired with. Make sure that your explaination is in a complete sentence.

EXAMPLE: The Cell membrane is like a toll gate because everything entering or leaving a cell has to be cleared to pass through. (You must write this in your own words)
 * Cell Membrane – Toll gate
 * Cell Wall – Football pads
 * Centriole – zipper
 * Chloroplast – Solar panel
 * Chromatin – Blueprints
 * Cytoplasm – Traffic Laws
 * Cytoskeleton – Rebar
 * Endoplasmic Reticulum - Highways
 * Golgi – Fedex Factory
 * Lysosome – Jack Hammer
 * Mitochondria – Power Plant
 * Nuclear Membrane – US Secret Service
 * Nucleus – The Whitehouse
 * Peroxisome – Police
 * Ribosomes – Factory
 * Secretory Vesicles - UPS truck
 * Vacuole – Water Tower
