Great Questions Week $3-$ Ask $3$ and answer $1$ each week

Use this space to post and discuss your great questions.

"It's not just about targeting a valid answer and moving on$,$ it's about sharpening your mind in both the question's subject and how to search for things that you initially do not have a background in or a foundation of understanding$/$knowledge to start from."

Kristina M$.$

Each week you will be responsible for writing three Great Questions and answering one from yourself or someone else. Your questions must be on the topic under discussion that week, and your answer must have a credible source for which you supply a citation. Include the URL or book author, title, publisher, and page number where you found your answer.

Each question is worth $1$ point, and answers are worth up to $2$ points. Five points total each week. Asking more than $3$ questions is great, but the points are capped at $3$ for the question portion. We will start a new discussion each week.

I've set the discussion rules to require that you make your post before you see any other posts. It's possible that more than one person asks the same or a similar question. That's ok because we'll know each person independently came up with the same question.

The topic for Great Questions this week is cell structure and function. Anything covered by the weekly reading, videos, or labs is fair game.

Post $3$ Great Questions and $1$ answer to a great question not already answered each week. Include one or more sources to support your answer.

Most questions will be worth $1$ point; well$-$researched and documented answers are worth up to $2$ points.

Answers must be referenced with complete citations.

These are the criteria that our class identified.

Tip: This discussion is for general questions about the natural world. If you have a specific question about a class topic, reading, activity, lab, etc., please ask that question to the instructor through Canvas messages
