vandilism

1.leaving litter in the countryside
2.putting dishsoap into a fountain
3. breaking a park bench
4.breaking glass in a bus shelter. damaging seats on buses
5.breaking street lighting
6.damaging a phone box
7.panting graffiti on a public building
8.Throwing eggs at cars and homes
9.setting fire to a school
10.Throwing stones onto a railway line

I put these in order from least to greatest, starting with the one thats least harmful to someone to whats the most harmful because leaving litter in the countryside or putting dish soap into a fountain doesn't hurt anyone it justs just lazy and disrespectful and makes more work for someone else. but throwing stones into a railway line or setting fire to a school is beyond disrespect its cruel and can cause an enormous amount of harm or even death

Talking Animals

If animals could talk life would still be the same we'd just be able to communicate with our cat, dog, fish etc. If animals could talk id probably ask my fish what living in water is like. Id ask my dog What its like to have four legs.If animals could talk it might help us in a way because animals can sense certain things we cant. such as my animals always get weird when were going to have a storm. by being able to communicate with animals we would know more.

Viruses

Summary: A virus is a non-living particle about half to a hundred the size of the smallest bacteria, Its disease causing, protein-based particle with DNA or RNA code in it's innards.
It is unable to reproduce outside a host cell. and they are often named for the disease they cause.They are considered non-living because they do not fit the criteria of the definition life. But the subject whether they are really living or non living organisms is argued.
Reproduction: A single virus particle is in and of itself essentially inert. It lacks needed components that cells have to reproduce. Viruses cannot express their genes or reproduce without the help of a living cell. Once a virus has infected a cell it will marshal the cells ribosomes, enzymes and much of the cellular machinery to reproduce.
Disease:
SMALL POX: small pox is an acute infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants named variola major and variola minor. small pox localizes in small blood vessels of the skin. mouth and throat. If u get small pox in the skin it results in a characteristics maculopapular rash and later raised fluid filled blisters. This diseased killed an estimate of 400,000 Europeans during the 18th century.
CHICKEN POX: Chicken pox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus also known as human herpes virus three. chicken pox is one of the eight herpes viruses known to affect humans. It starts with characteristic spots apearing

Space Living


If we all lived In space we would need a big space station. Or we could all live in houses witch would be a little odd because our houses would float and it would be kinda hard to keep things in place. If we lived in space we would wear the same clothes we wear now and we would probably eat really gross food. We wouldn't have taco bell or Mcdonald's but that can also be a good thing. Traveling Just around the space area we would have the little hover cars like off the Jetsons for example. Traveling to some where like earth we would use space shuttles.

Bacteria

Summary: Bacteria are unicellular micro-organisms. They have a wide range of shapes ranging from spheres, rods and spirals.Bacteria grows in soil, hot springs, acidic, radioactive waste, sea water and in the earths crust. There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil. and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of of fresh water. There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body.
Monera: Archeabacteria, they are adopted to extreme enviroment. Extreme heat, no oxygen, concentrated saltwater, extreme cold. They live in much harsher conditions such as hot springs. The coccus is one of there shapes witch are round,
diplo is a structure witch are in pair or together, The flagella have tail like whips for movement/locomotion.Binary fission is asexual reproduction. The bacteria splits into two equal parts. [chromosomes are replicated].
Eubacteria:They consume detrits, dead material, and live organisms. Autotrophs get there energy from the sun [chlorophyl] There algae is blue or green. Chemosynthetic Autotrophs get there energy from inorganic compound such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulfer etc. The baccllus is a shape that is rod shaped. staphylo is a structure and they are in grape like clusters. for movement and locomotion are spirochete and look like cork screws. Conjugation is sexual reproduction mating tubes, transfer genetic materials.



Best Advice

The best advice Ive ever received was from my grandma. She basically told me to start being a little more selfish and start worrying about myself instead of taking care of everyone else and myself last. She told me to take it one day at a time because she knows me and my mother have problems. She gave me this advice in January and it has changed my life in many ways. Taking things slowly and learning to listen to what someone has to say before Interupting and getting mad and causing a fight. I do take my life one day at a time and I'm going to school everyday now instead of a couple times a week if that. I've learned to love my life and still have fun instead of party all weekend and sleep all week. That's by far the best advice I've ever received
