200
Takes longer because it starts with rock rather than soil
What is primary succession?
200
Part a cell that provides structure and protection, only found in plant cells.
Cell Wall
400
This body system protects internal organs like the heart and lungs.
What is the Skeletal system?
400
The control center of a cell; can only be found in Eukaryotic cells.
Nucleus
