Pick an Organelle

My favorite organelle would have to be the mitochondria. First of all, it has a sweet name. Second, it holds some pretty important stuff. Such as DNA and ribosomes. And it gives us ENERGY!! Sounds pretty cool to me.

Sweet picture, eh? eh?

Reflection Time

I thought this lab was a good lab to start with. It made me miss chemistry. Ha, just kidding. But seriously, I enjoyed how easy the lab was except for the fact that the concentration was too strong. The experiment didn't work the way it was supposed to, so I think that's why I am having difficulty interpreting this take-home test question. But whatever, I'll figure it out eventually.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I am looking forward to doing DNA experiments in the lab because I love watching crime shows and they always do that. :)

 I am least looking forward to all of the extra work outside of class that is required to do because I have never evvvvvvverrrrrrr had to do that before.

BUT OVERALL, I think this will be a fun class because of all the AMAZING people in the class!

Hello. I'm Katie McMurphy and an AP Biology student at Sparta High School. Some of my hobbies are spending time with my friends and family and playing soccer. My favorite subject in school is science and it's always been my best subject.

In the Fall, I'll be attending Central Michigan University to study in their Physician's Assistant program. That is why I wanted to take AP Biology. I felt that it would benefit greatly because I know I'll have to take some biology classes there. Also, I am taking AP Biology because I wanted a chance to take the AP test to possibly test out of a science class at CMU.
