Quick,
what's the name given to a compartmentalized structure formed by a phospholipid
membrane, or to an electrolytic solution containing electrodes with
different potentials? If you answered "cell," you might have
what it takes to be a member of the L&N Science Bowl team! What's
involved? Participants will meet for weekly practices, and a team of 5
will compete at the Tennessee Regional Science Bowl on February 26-27. Email nick.wilsey@knoxschools.org to
declare your interest today!

head coverings or anything covering your face, except accepted religious
garments.
