Biology: How does cytokinesis differ in animal and plant cells? Why is it important for all organisms to form new cells?
BONUS: Differentiate between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Explain how they are related.
Biochemistry: Briefly explain what hemoglobin and myglobin are and how they are related through evolution.
Physics: Identify 5 common objects around your house that can both contain potential and kinetic energy depending on their use. Explain each of these.
Env Chem: Why is it important to develop alternative forms of energy for use in the future? Develop a plan for the research, development and implementation of a alternative fuel of your choice in our area.
Botany: Pines and other plants that grow in very cold climates have sunken stomata just like plants of the desert, yet the annual precipitation where they grow may be very abundant. Is there any advantage to their having such a modification? Explain.
