IB Biology: Cell Biology - Prokaryotic Cells

Biology can be pretty dry. You’re stuck in a classroom studying a textbook full of boring definitions and complicated diagrams... That’s why we’re going on a field trip with Sally! She’s visiting a floating city in the Pacific Ocean – Prokaryopolis! This lesson will investigate prokaryotes and prokaryotic cells.
