You know what? I would like to believe I am an energetic person.. most of the time. So what better organelle is there than the MITOCHONDRIA?!. The mitochondria IS the energy organelle. woot woot. This mighty little organelle can be found in all cells except the prokaryotic cells. It's main function is to take sugar molecules and break it down and release that energy. That is me! Plus, just like the mitochondria, I am peanut shaped. :) Finally, the mitochondria is the site in which aerobic cell respiration happens. No big deal or anything.

Give me a M-I-T-O-C-H-O-N-D-R-I-A! Mitochondria!

I thought that our lab went pretty good. In my opinion, these labs are more easy going than the ones in chemistry, which is nice. For example, we can sit in the lab! No more tired legs! wooo hooo Also, we don't have to dry the beakers and such!   The first part my group completed did not go as well as planned. We were supposed to have about 5 ml of KMNO4 and we ended up with like 12 mL. It turns out there was a problem with the concentration. The only part of the lab that I am worried about is the formal report of it, just because it has been a long time since I have written one.

  • What topic are you most looking forward to in this class? Why?
I basically am looking forward to anything having to do with the human body. I've always been interested in how the body works and how it functions.
  • What topic are you least looking forward to in this class? Why?
I am not looking forward to the chemistry stuff because I forgot everything... which makes me feel like an idiot. wooo hoo for chemistry!
  • Anything else you wish
Shout-out to Alicia... I am sooo proud of you for getting to school early! :) we can no longer bet on you.

Introduction

                                                         Hi everyone,

This is what I look like 7 days a week
My name is Marri May and I am currently in an AP Biology class at Sparta High School. I am taking this class in order to help further my education for college and to hopefully opt out of an intro Biology class in my first year of college. This class will also hopefully give me the materials that I need to pass the AP exam.

Some things about me.. I love long walks on the beach and a candle lit dinner while watching the Veggie Tails.

Kidding.. I actually like to hunt, fish, play sports, ski, camp, hangout with friends, go to Church, watch some television, run, and about everything else in this world you can think of.
