Description

Class Experience

In this class we will discuss the origin of the mitochondria and how it became what it is today. We know the mitochondria as the "powerhouse of the cell", but has it always been this? Something is a little suspicious about the mitochondria, and we will learn all about its complicated past in this class. The mitochondria is unlike any of our other organelles inside a typical animal cell. We will discuss the concept of endocytosis and how it pertains to the mitochondria. The class will show 3-D...

Students will understand where the mitochondria came from and how it became what it is today. Students will also learn many cool facts about the mitochondria and why it is so crucial for our bodies.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
