Organelle Quiz

The organelle quiz will be on Thurs. There is a practice quiz on the blog. The practice quiz is fill in the blank, but the actual quiz will be multiple choice and T/F. Keep in mind - those of you who still need to take the transcription/translation quiz , but have not taken it before our organelle quiz, will get a zero for the transcription/translation quiz, as we took it before winter break.
