Viruses

PS: I like luigi

Hey guy I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about the viruses. You might already know some stuff about viruses but now I am going to tell you what you don't know.







even Mario fights viruses
#Dr. Mario

First off a Virus is "an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host." Viruses can get inside your body and make you sick. A virus cannot move, is not alive, cant breath, cant eat and cant drink water. When a virus gets inside your body it can do two thing A: can find its host cell and start multiplying or B: it can stay there and do no harm which are called latent viruses. Some illnesses include chicken pox, the common cold and the flu.

 

 

Now that you know that viruses ain't that good but now I will tell you are one weapon. Vaccines are the reason we are able to survive the virus. Vaccines are made using week created viruses that will go into your body so you imunsistem can kill them and be ready for the real thing.






The last thing I will be talking about is a man named Dr. Edward Jenner's. This man saved peoples life's by making the vaccine which is still used today. When he said he found a cure the other doctors lafed at him, but when he proved he was correct he was loved by the other doctors.

The Other Side of BACTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look into your soul.

He guys I am back with another blog post and today I will be talking about Bacteria. :) Now there are some good parts to bacteria like the fact we would not be here without them. Lets go
















Bacteria is good for many different ways like, Being the first life on earth, making food good and ever helping our body function. Some are bad tho very very bad. So people where like we need to stop this and invented the antibiotics. dundundahhh. These kill bacteria but there is a catch. People have been using less because the bacteria has been able to adapt to the antibiotics. Now you cant use Antibiotics without a doctors description. Bad bacteria can cause diseases like Streptococcus pneumoniae: which infects the lungs causing  pneumonia and is spread by coughing. Another is Gnorrhea:This disease is a sexually-transmitted disease and is caused by a bacterium of this type. One symptom is a pussy discharge from the genital area. As you can see you want to fight bacteria at all cost but not all bacteria is bad. So are on the light side of the force. In fact more than me than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by them. This is caused by nitrogen-fixing bacteria.






Now I shall tell you what is bacteria. First of all the way that bacteria reproduce is by using fission which is breaking into to bacteria exactly the same as the first :(). This processes if called asexually and the other is sexually which is when there are two. Some bacteria need to get there food wile other can make there own by using photosynthesise.

Bacteria

Hey guys I am back with another helpful blog post and today we will be talking about the wonderful Monera kingdom. This kingdom is so important and is also bad. Lets begin.








Now the main part of the Monera kingdom is bacteria. Everything that you will find in this kingdom is bacteria. Bacteria can be found even in the harshes envierment over the world. Some bacteria must make there own food while others go out and get the food. Bacteria use a prosices called fission Which is how the reproduce. One split into two and those two will be exactly the same as the first one. Another way they reproduce is with a partner. The way that bacteria moves is with a flagela or cillia

The worlds largest pig

Oink Oink, Hey guys I am back with another current event and today we will be doing the worlds largest pig because I like piggies. lets Begin.









The worlds largest pig is the forest hog. These pigs live across central Africa. This GIANT pig ways 600 pounds! This pig is so large that people almost ate them to death. I don't blame them I like bacon, but I do feel bad for them. These pigs where hunted in til they where endangered :(. It is now illegal to hunt these pigs. There are now conservation that will protect these pigs.














I feel bad that the pigs are endangered and I want people to help save them. I feel good that there are people who do just that in the conservation camps. I also feel bad that I want to eat one. Ok see you all next time.

Protists-Algae

Hey guys I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about protists and Algae. Lets just get started now, no intro me run out of ideas :(

The first type of protists we will be talking is the green Algae, YAY.  These algae are plant like organisms. These algae fuel most of are oxygen and the most important one.





















The next type of protists is the red protists. These protest live deep in the ocean and have a red pigment witch they use to get food from under the water using photosynthesis to make there food.
















Another type of protest is the brown algae. Most brown algae is found in the ocean that is also seaweed and kelp.












Now for some other  protest that doesn't start with algae, these are the euglenoids, Diatoms, and the Dinoflagellates. All of these are Single celled organism. Euglenoids have a whip-like flagella that they use to move and a eyespot that are sensitive to light. Diatoms cell wall are rich in silica which is the mane element in glass. Dinoflagellates have a speacle flagella that will make them in a circle and are responsible for red tides which are harmful algae food.

PROTOZOA

Hey guys I am back with another bog post and today we will be talking about the protozoa:) which are part of the 6 kingdom! These are interesting creatures, you will have to wait to see so lets begin.



The protozoa kingdom is very different from the other kingdoms like for a start they can eat there food like animals or even fungi. Also protozoa are eukaryotic just like use neat right. Also instead of a stomach they have a vacuole to eat, YUM! Protozoa is classified different than other members of the plant kingdom instead of plant eaters and meat eaters they are classified by how they move.




The first group is the Amoeboids. These protozoas move by changing there shape PS: they look cool they look really cool.

The next group is the ciliates kingdom. These protozoa move by using the hairs on its sides called cilia which are tiny little hairs on its body. Also these protozoa have not one but two nucleus. One is the macronuclei and the other is the micronuclei.
The macronuclei is the one that does the big stuff and the micronuclei does the rest.




The next group that we will be going over is my favorite it is the flagellates. This protozoa has a tail to move around and looks really cool while moving even a little funny. Also they use this tail to eat as well, they use there tail as a whip to bring in there pray which is relay cool, I like this one this one is nice.







Now finally we are on the last group the sporozoa my leist favorite group and you want to know why, it is because these are parasitic and that is not good at all. luckely this group cant move but, it can give you malaria which luckely we have a cure for now but back then it killed tons. of people each year.

fast facts before I go



Did you know that these can help you.

Did you know that these keep the fungi population down

 Under water animals rely on them for food

Two-Tailed Ancient Bird Uncovered

Two-Tailed Ancient Bird Uncovered

Published on the date of October 7, 2013

Dan Vergano

This article was about the discovery of a odd Bird that had two tails. Scientist think that the bird used one of the tails for flying and the other one for show. scientist called this bird Jeholornis. The scientist thought that because some male birds have striking plumages witch is a bird's feathers collectively, so they think that this bird only had to tails if they where mail birds.










My opinion is that I liked that scientist are still discovering and studying creatures that no longer live because it could help understand new stuff that pops up in the presents. I feel that this discovery will be useful if another type of two tailed creature pops up they will be able to understand the next creature thanks to the discovery of the Jeholornis.
