AP BIOLOGY: THE CELL
CHAPTER 6: A TOUR OF THE CELL
To my Students,
AP covers a wide range of topics and the subject matter is too big to cover during class time alone. For AP students, it is an expectation that you will do much of the studying and learning individually. I am providing some Youtube videos I consider good and helpful. Please, feel free to visit any other videos of your choice.
I do HIGHLY recommend you use these videos as study guides along the materials presented in class. At some point, I would make some of these videos part of your assignments.
Students should be very familiar with this particular subject from a previous Biology class. We will go fast on this topic. You will be tested on it. Please, read chapter 6 and watch the videos I am suggesting  or any other you may find to help you understand the concepts.
:) - Ms. Carter
