Discussion Question: Which eukaryotic cell structures were most challenging to identify, and what strategies did you use?
I pulled a hit-and-run tactic and redid the test a few times-- it was difficult I'm not going to lie, but I am getting the hang of it. The most difficult to identify was the mitochondria, which is embarrassing- but it was attached to a separate cell and confused me.
Discussion Question: What were the key differences between the various regions of British colonies in terms of economy, society, and culture?
The british colonies differed in economy, society, and culture- new england focused on small farms and industry, the middle colonies on diverse agriculture and trade and the South on plantation slavery

Hello! I am playing catch up today, so I get it. It's great to hear you found a strategy that worked for you—sometimes multiple attempts are key to mastering complex subjects like cell structures! The mitochondria can indeed be tricky to spot, especially when they are nestled within or near other organelles. A helpful strategy for identifying cell structures like the mitochondria is to focus on their unique shape and function. Mitochondria are often oval and have a distinct double membrane, which can set them apart in images. Don’t be embarrassed; identifying cell structures accurately takes practice, and you're definitely making progress!
