 Processing Nutrition Resource Page

We will be studying cell biology throughout the biology course.  This unit will help you continue to learn about cell processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis.  In order to do this you will need to call upon your knowledge of basic biochemistry and learn about the structure of chloroplasts, mitochondria, the nucleus, and ribosomes.  You will apply this to your understanding of ecological interactions when learning about feeding niches and energy pyramids.
