Tiny, studded factories that are basically the Gordon Ramsays of protein cooking.
What are ribosomes?
This carnivorous plant closes its trap faster than you close tabs when your prof walks by.
What is a Venus Flytrap?
These cells are like Uber for oxygen, delivering to your bodily tissues.
What are red blood cells?
This lab technique gives bacteria a makeover in purple or pink.
What is Gram staining?
These are the OGs of heredity—and they're named after denim.
This organelle is responsible for tagging, packaging, and shipping proteins like Amazon Prime.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
The plant’s internal plumbing system that deals with water.
What is xylem?
This “rest-and-digest” division of the nervous system is the one that reminds you it’s snack time.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
Through direct contact, this bacterial party trick lets them swap genetic material like Pokémon cards.
What is conjugation?
We only notice this kind of allele when it’s not being dominated and concealed.
