The life cycle of a healthy cotton fiber

Introduction

A cotton fiber is a cell with a multiple layered cell wall that grows with other fiber cells on a seed.

The environment around the cotton fiber defines its growth and quality.

Growth and death of a cotton fiber

When a cotton fiber shoots up, its growth phase has begun. The fiber gets taller and taller for 16 days. Then, it starts making cellulose to strengthen its primary cell wall, and once that's over it starts making cellulose to increase the density of its secondary cell wall. In about 50 days, the fiber is fully grown and cell dies off. All that's left of the cell is their cell wall, which determines the quality of the cotton.

Mars

Today, in this section of my blog, we are going to learn about Mars . Once Mars had more water than the Artic Ocean. Scientists found bacteria, meaning signs of life. 1/2 the size of Earth. 1st place winner of the discovery of Mars is Galleo Gallei. Atmosphere mostly has got in store: CO2. 49 Ton miles separated from the Sun. 1 Mars year = 687 Earth days Temperature around -195 degrees F 1Mars day = 24 Earth hours and 39 Earth minutes. 1st Mars Rover: Sojuner Toxic surface Mars dust breaks electronics Colder than Earth. Super thin atmosphere. So many rovers sent. 0% magnetic field. Scientists are thinking to send human beings to the planet. Named after the Roman God of war. So, dear viewers, these points should have given you a start about the information scientists are learning about Mars.

Helping hummingbirds!

Hi there! My full name is Shreyas Akula. I'm 8 years old. Please go to the end of the blog, ( not the comments) to click on the essential links. Did you know that plants don't produce their fruit all by themselves? Animals help plants produce fruit ! These animals are called pollinators . But in this era of human history, our activity is putting these animals into trouble ! Wait a second. You might not know what are pollinators are. So let's find out ! Pollinators transport pollen from flower to flower. Pollen carries the male reproductive cells of the plant. How do pollinators transport pollen? Well, that's no problem for pollinators 'cause they are small! Okay, we are zooming into a flower! The pollinator, a bee has arrived! First, the bee goes to the middle of the flower. This part is called the stigma and located in the middle of a flower and is female. While making it's journey to the stigma, it bumps into the pollen dusters. If you you combine the anther ...

CRISPIR

Introduction Today we are going to learn about CRISPIR. So let's roll and learn about it! What is CRISPIR? CRISPIR is nothing but editing DNA. What is Cas9 and how does it work? Cas9 is a protein. Let's say yellow fever enters the body and body makes the protein Cas9. Now the body has faced yellow fever before and it has a fragment of the virus' DNA. It creates the Cas9 protein and puts the fragment of viral DNA in the protein. Then the body leaves it to go on patrol. So Cas9 like "scans" every "invader" DNA in the body with the fragment it has. Then snip snap it cuts the DNA. In other words Cas9 patrols the body until it finds an "invader" with the DNA fragment Cas9 has. If that...
