12/12 Biology update and homework due 12/19

Hi folks,

This week in biology we took a good look at the outer cell layer and explored how materials get into and out of the cell.

Just for fun, this is an amazing little game that really gets a pretty good handle on what's going on with the cell.  Give it a shot if you have some time.
