6th Graders - No homework! 
Congratulations to my Period 1 class for winning the 6th Grade Color Contest!  Almost everyone showed school spirit by wearing green today!

7th Graders: Read (and re-read) "Study Guide: Cells", which we went over in class today.   Note a correction to the answers: the blank in number 5 should read: "TAKE IN NUTRIENTS".

Remember:
Plant cells have a CELL WALL (and a cell membrane), Big VACUOLE, and CHLOROPLASTS that absorb light to power the process of making the plant's food. 

Animal cells have NO cell wall, NO Big Vacuoles, NO Chloroplasts, but they do have Lysosomes and Centrosomes.  Check out the diagrams on the last page of your "Study Guide: Cells".

25.  New Question: REad the following text, and look for a definition in the text:  
"Goldberger investigated Nutrition, or balanced vitamins and minerals in food, as Pellagra's cause."  Based on the reading, what is the definition of "Nutrition"?
