Thursday‚ October 4th‚ 2012 Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared

The road to agricultural way of life in the MIddle East is characterized by Four distinct stages. It was during the Kebaran

desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course‚ to survive the hot and dry conditions‚ these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert‚ it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals‚ as well some of their adaptations.
