Pickles

Things needed:

3-4 cucumbers

Several Jars+ their lids

clear vinegar

packet of pickling mix

pot

water

1. Get 3-4 cucumbers in dark green color with lots of warts! These are the crisp, pickling cucumbers. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut about 1cm off from each end and continue cutting horizontally or vertically (however you prefer). Set aside.

2. Sanitize the jars and its caps by placing it in a pot of boiling water.

3. Mix 0.95 liters of vinegar with a packet of pickling mix in a pot and set to near boil.

4. Place the pickles in the sterilized jars. Using a funnel, pour the vinegar and pickling mix the pickle jars.

5. Place the sterilized lids in the jars and seal tight. Boil the sealed jars for about 5 minutes.

How does fermentation cook food?

Fermentation only works in an anaerobic environment most of the time. Fungi and bacteria carry out fermentation by using the oxidation-reduction process, a series of chemical reactions. It converts carbohydrates into organic juices, alcohols, and other compounds.

[BOW] Osmosis Jones

Similarities:
-The white blood cells protect our bodies from diseases by fighting their cells.
-If a virus is in your body, it waits to become activated and attack like the Red Death
-The white blood cell diffuses through blood to other body part to attack enemy cells


Differences:
-There are no towns in your body, nor are there buildings. 
-There should be a ton of more white blood cells in Frank's body; in a normal human body there should be 7,000-10,000 white blood cells but in Frank's body there are not enough white blood cells to be seen.
-Cells don't drive in a normal human body

[BOW] Benefits of Fungi.

<--- the cutest mushroom I've ever seen in my life.

So now, moving on.

Here are some benefits of fungi :)

-Fungi decompose and break down dead organic matter and therefore returns nutrients into the soil, which benefits many other living things.

-Fungi also breaks down wastes in fermentation. Fermentation is used to make cheese, which many people love. In fermentation, yeast breaks down sugars and produces alcohol as a waste product. Fermentation also produces ethanol, acids, and biological detergents.

-Fungi are the bases of many medicine because of the miraculous anbiotic properties of pencillin.

-Many species of mushrooms (though not as cute as the one above) are edible and are a good food source. Yeast is used to make bread rise.

[BOW] Epidemics.

H>C and S>D should be high, especially the S>D so that the sick can infect more people and kill them, which is our goal :)

The number of Runs was 50, so the carrier can contagionize more people.

The I>H needs to be kept low because we don't want immune people; we want dead people.

With these properties, everyone died.
