our parents.

from the food we eat.

The strawberry will be squished in a ziploc bag, in order to break the outermost barrier of the strawberry.

Take a second to try and remember if you learned about this cell structure before!

Step 1 | CRUSHING the Strawberry

Multiple Choice

When squishing the strawberry, what barrier are we breaking down?
