CHAPTER 10
Cell Growth and Division
Learning objectives
Read pages 272-290 of “Biology” Miller & Levine to make your Cornell notes and
understand the following learning objectives below. Supplementary reading can be from
the Cliff Notes AP Biology. Remember the following are NOT questions but guidelines
for your note taking. Reading for comprehension and identifying key ideas and concepts
is a skill required for AP Biology. NO COPIED NOTES ALLOWED!
Limits to Cell Size (10.1)
