    I'm sorry, I don't understand how this helps the OP with his question.

    Regarding to OP however, I don't know much in the cell biology department, but wikipedia is a pretty good source on that if you can't find an answer on this board regarding your question.

    It helps the OP by making him/her do his/her own homework.

    We can help, but we can't just give the answer. It's the rules of this site, which are listed right in the homework forum.

    I'm well aware of the forum rules :p, however I just think that providing examples or doing a small portion of the problem would further motivate the OP on completing the problem.

    You can think whatever you like but the rules are the rules.

    They have to show that they at least put some effort into solving the problem on their own.

    Doing someone's homework for them, even a small portion, may help them now, but not when they need to do it on their own in a test. Will you be there then?

    This is why so many kids are doing poorly in school. All the answers are at their finger tips, they don't have to work to find them. They just go to a help desk, ask the question, get the answer and then go back to texting their friends. :(

    Well I'm not talking about doing the work for him/her. For example, if they had a density question, I would reply that they have to think about the relationship to mass per volume. D=m/v, I may give them mass, OR volume, but they would have to figure out the missing information. They still don't know the answer, but I've placed them on the right track.:o

    At least this is how I learn, through example. I don't understand a problem until it is either explained or the processes involved are explained.:D

    And I would agree with that. But this question isn't one of those. This is a very direct question and I can't see a way to lead this person, only to give them either a right or wrong answer. That's why I asked the question I asked. If the OP came back with the right answer then fine, if they came back with the wrong answer then we go from there.

    The thing is, the OP didn't come back because he/she just wanted the answer, without doing any of the work.

    I do agree with you, but in this case I don't see a way to lead the OP.

    Bingo! You nailed it, Alty, and I couldn't agree more... Scroll down to the editorial reviews of this interesting book, particularly David Pitt's...
    Amazon.com: The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don't Trust Anyone Under 30) (9781585426393): Mark Bauerlein: Books

    Agree or disagree with the book's message, the fact stands that a large number of posts arrive at AMHD looking like they were banged off a keyboard by a chimp wearing boxing gloves... du you no what I meen? Whuzzup widdat?

    Stepping down from soapbox now..

    Unk8, you and others who place a premium and priority on academic achievement and excellence are the ones who will someday be calling all the shots and running the show---and most deservedly so.

    Keep up the great work, amigo!
