I agree with Sharhea, I thought this week's lab was a lot of fun. I was surprised by the fact that the size of the cell has no bearing on the size of the organism-I thought it would make at least a little bit of difference. I also found it interesting that within an organism cells not only varied in size but also in color. Biology is fascinating. Living organisms are so phenomenally complex-cells, as we discovered, vary not just because of one factor but because of many-complexity, development, function of the cell, age and history, environment, genetics...the fact that there are no rings on the trees (because cells stop growing in the winter, which makes the rings, and if there is no winter...) I thought was really interesting.
The more we study this, and the more I research my web paper, the more I understand how complex science is. There are no real right answers. Everything is interdependent, including all the information. I'm becoming more comfortable with the idea, though it was nice to have something that I could think of as definitive, but I guess I'll just have to let that go....
