dude... I took this from the NASAexplores 5-8 Glossary:

mitochondria
mobile cytoplasmic organelles of eukaryotes visible in the light microscope whose main function is the generation of ATP molecules

ok... so when I was in 5th grade, the only reason I knew what mitochondria were is because I read L'Engle. Granted, by 8th grade I had taken A & P, and had some scientific knowledge of mitochondria... but I don't think the average 6th or 7th grader is going to be able to decipher that definition. *I* am having trouble deciphering that definition. So yeah. We're gonna change it. As soon as I can find a good one.

Speaking of NASAexplores... the new summer issues went up today. Check out my spiffy page on Bootes, Arcturus, and Cassiopia (be sure to look at the pictures... I did those, too). And don't forget the cool bio of Jan Davis.
