Photosynthesis with M&M's. After learning the photosynthetic equations students put their knowledge to work building the molecules in the equation out of M&M's. Students are also reminded of the Law Conservations of Mass. Link to lesson provided.

Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells, specialized in storing energy as fat. There are two types of adipose tissue, white and brown adipose tissue. White fat cells contain a large lipid droplet surrounded by a layer of cytoplasm. The nucleus is flattened and located on the periphery. Brown fat cells are polygonal in shape, have considerable cytoplasm with lipid droplets scattered throughout. The nucleus is round and is not in the periphery of the cell.
