In this unit we mady our hydroponics
Mimicking natures design
What is research?
Studying and/or conducting research about. topic
What are proteins?
They are big group of molecules that are cell building blocks, control chemical reactions, and have many other functions in the living world.
They are made of amino acids.
What happens in your body when you breathe?
Inhale through mouth/nose, air goes into the lungs, oxygen goes through alveoli to blood stream, blodd stream takes oxygen to cells that need it
