Osmosis! The Diffusion of water!

Osmosis- the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane



Endocytosis- the process of taking material into the cell by means of infoldings, or pockets, of the cell membrane



Active transport- when cells move materials in the opposite direction against a concentration difference
Facilitated diffusion- molecules that cannot diffuse across the cell membrane's lipid bilayer on their own move through protein channels instead.

Dominant and Recessive Traits! Bonus: Hot Chick

A dominant trait show in either allele. A recessive trait must be shown in both allele to show.

Dominant trait: example one example of a dominant trait is having curly hair.
Recessive trait: example one Dominantexample of a recessive trait is having blue-green eyes.

Vaccination!



A vaccination help create antigenic which helps the immune system develop adaptive immunity to virus. Vaccination can help prevent the effects of infection. It is considered to be the most effect of preventing the full effects of infectious diseases.

A combination of high H>C levels , high C>S levels (the contagiousness of the disease) and high S>D levels ( the deadliness of the diseases) will cause the worst deadly epidemic.
My Data: Shows that about 34 rounds everybody died

Fungi is gooooood! Try 'em!

The Positive Effects of Fungi
Fungi play an essential role in maintaining equilibrium in nearly every ecosystem, where they recycle nutrients by breaking down the bodies and wastes of other organisms such as the mycelia of mushrooms.




Osmosis Jooooones!

Osmosis Jones Relation to Immune System

Similarities
When our body catches a cold, the immune system swings into action and begins sending out virus-fighting cells and proteins which can cause inflammation.
Most of the cold and flu symptoms we experience are the result of our bodies trying to fight the infection, rather than the infection itself.
One of the common signs of sickness we usually notice is a runny nose, this is caused by our immune system trapping the offending virus.

Differences
Franks's body has a very lazy mayor working at the city of Frank.
Drix (the cold pill) has a cannon that freezes any target.
Frank's body has policemen that hunt bacteria and viruses.

Chlorophyll


Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light.
Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll (up to several hundred molecules per photosystem) is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems.
