Chloroplasts (Green Energy)
light energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis)
Golgi bodies (mail)
processes and packages proteins and lipid molecules to be removed from the cell
Chromosomes (vital)
vital in cell division, repair, regeneration genetic material (heredity)
Cytoplasm (I support you; jello)
supports and suspends all organelles in it
Transgenic organisms (GMO)
organisms whose genetic information has been altered with the insertion of genes from another species
What is good about the GMOs?
- has been done naturally by farmers crossing plant varieties to improve the quality of the plants (choosing seeds from best plants)
- to improve pest resistance or have bigger yields (produce more)
