Knowledge

  2. D, Because Eubacteria has a peptidoglycan in it's cell wall and Archaebacteria doesn't have one in it's cell wall.

  3. Eubacteria are unicellular, prokaryotes, AND have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. But mostly, I think its because of the peptidoglycan since archaebacteria don't have that.

  7. Um didn't you say that we had to print the CoW out at home(or something like that) in class earlier today? I didn't get any of the ones that you passed out at recess since I could print at home but its not here.

  8. If you are looking for tonight's cow: I had trouble with the scanner, so I printed one out for everyone and they were handed out in your humanities class. If you did not get one, you can do the following vocabulary words tonight:

    Vertex

    Corresponding Sides

    Corresponding Angles

    Ray

    Angle

    Point

    You can do the R/C tomorrow night or during advisory work and study time. Sorry about that. I thought the message got to everyone.
