Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,
You stand there slowly dying.
Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,
One spark, you’ll soon be frying.
Needles falling on the floor,
Soon we’ll throw you out the door.
Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,
You stand there slowly dying.
Unit 2- Approx 10 % of final

nucleus, vacuoles, vesicles, lysosomes,
microfilaments, microtubules, ribosomes, ER
(rough and smooth), Golgi apparatus,
chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell walls, cell
membranes.
• Identify and discuss what the cytoskeleton is mostly composed of.
• Describe and summarize how proteins are assembled and “shuttled”
• Formulate three predictions about chloroplasts and mitochondria if
the endosymbiont theory is true.
