Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions—such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation—that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530229982-2YBTP4NXQW0566XMU1U1/plantcelll.png Scitobergallery - Plant cell Plant cells are eukaryotic cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. The cell was first discovered and named by Robert Hooke in 1665. He remarked that it looked strangely similar to cellula or small rooms which monks inhabited, thus deriving the name. However what Hooke actually saw was the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) as it appeared under the microscope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530417738-V5TV0W61KPALMINPB5P3/neuronl.png Scitobergallery - Neuron They are the basic unit of the nervous system.

It generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. A mitochondrion is thus termed the powerhouse of the cell. The term "mitochondria" was coined by Carl Benda in 1898. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530596353-L53Q9CANBJXAV39JQ14F/ribosomel.png Scitobergallery - Ribosome All ribosomes are composed of two subunits, both of which are built from RNA and protein. Bacterial ribosomes, for example of Escherichia coli, contain a small subunit (SSU) composed of one 16S Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 21 Ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) and a large subunit (LSU) containing 5S and 23S rRNAs and 33 r-proteins. In 2000, structural biologists Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas A. Steitz and Ada E. Yonath made the first structures of ribosomal subunits available in the PDB, and in 2009, they each received a Nobel Prize for this work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530645956-I9052USWQCWZGAEXC20X/eryth.png Scitobergallery - Erythrocyte A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood. Erythrocytes contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. In 1959, by use of X-ray crystallography, Dr. Max Perutz was able to unravel the structure of hemoglobin, the red blood cell protein that carries oxygen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530720320-2TD4B6O15K0P2LABKUVF/heartl.png Scitobergallery - Heart A muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. In humans, the heart is divided into four chambers: upper left and right atria and lower left and right ventricles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530783584-FPXEVKZB70IM023QKWZG/llung.png Scitobergallery - Lungs Primary organs of the respiratory system. The trachea conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen from the air is absorbed into the blood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530816544-O0S36HYJ41SCFTS47JTT/Kidneyl.png Scitobergallery - Kidneys They are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine. Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. Each human adult kidney contains around 1 million nephrons, while a mouse kidney contains only about 12,500 nephrons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530888449-ETFK97BTPXJTL2B7UWF1/humanbrainl.png Scitobergallery - Human brain The central organ of the nervous system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530914024-M9MRUXX0OHCGMC2HWJ8B/intestinel.png Scitobergallery - Intestine The intestines are a long, continuous tube were most absorption of nutrients and water happens. It includes the small intestine and large intestine. The small intestine (small bowel) is about 20 feet long and about an inch in diameter. The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The human intestinal microbiome is among the most complex of the body sites: it includes 500–1000 species and several million genes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592530989636-TIEKBNZY3Z0EDWFY40N5/dnal.png Scitobergallery - DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid carries the genetic information of all organisms.

The microscope was still largely a novelty until the 1660s and 1670s when naturalists in Italy, the Netherlands and England began using them to study biology. Italian scientist Marcello Malpighi, called the father of histology by some historians of biology, began his analysis of biological structures with the lungs. Robert Hooke's Micrographia had a huge impact, largely because of its impressive illustrations. A significant contribution came from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek who achieved up to 300 times magnification using a simple single lens microscope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592531157507-22SOJH0NRHDN2Y8UHTOE/mcl.png Scitobergallery - .

Trap closure consists of three distinctive phases: a silent phase with no observable movement; an accelerated movement of the lobes; and the relaxation of the lobes in their closed state, resulting in a new equilibrium. This small plant consists of five to seven leaves with each leaf divided into two parts: the upper leaf and the lower leaf. The upper leaf has a pair of trapezoidal lobes held together by a blade (midrib). The center of each lobe contains three sensitive trigger hairs and a red anthocynanin pigment that attracts insects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d753ce4b030f9487b940f/1592531276400-VGQA6TS517LHJDS9A8VE/auracarial.png Scitobergallery - Araucaria They are mainly large trees with a massive erect stem, reaching a height of 5–80 metres (16–262 ft).
