Science-The Basics of Viruses

Imagine that something doesn’t grow.respond, or eat, yet reproduces. This something which appears to be neither living or dead is a virus. A virus is a nonliving particle consisting of of a core of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can reproduce only inside a living cell. Viruses are so small that scientists must use an extremely powerful microscope to see them.

Viruses are unlike living things. Some viruses can be made into crystals and stored in a jar for years. Then, if they enter an organism, they may quickly reproduce and cause new infections, often causing damage to the organism. Viruses, therefore, have a major impact on the living world.

Viruses are classified by their shape, the kind of hereditary material they have, the kind of organism that they infect, and their method of reproduction. The protein covering the viruses are often named for the disease that they cause, such as the polio virus, or the organ or tissue that they infect.

When most people hear the word virus, they often relate it to a cold sore, a cold, and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Mumps, measles, and the chicken pox are also diseases caused by viruses. A virus has to be inside a living cell to reproduce. The cell in which a virus destroys is called a host cell. Once a virus is in a host cell. It will act in two ways. It can either be active, or it can become latent and be an inactive part of the cell for a while.

If a virus enters the cell and becomes active right away, it causes the cell to make new viruses, which destroys the host cell. However, some viruses may be latent viruses. A latent viruses enters a bacteria cell and becomes part of the cell’s hereditary material without immediately destroying the cell or making new viruses. Latent viruses may appear to hide inside a host cell for many years. Then, at any time, the virus becomes active as it outlines the reproduction cycle of latent viruses.

Finally, viruses may cause diseases in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protists. There are no antibiotic medications to cure viruses. But some viral diseases can be prevented by vaccines. A vaccine is made from damaged virus particles that can not cause diseases anymore. Vaccines have been created for measles, polio, chicken pox, and for bacterial diseases.

Religion-Jesus Christ Is risen from the dead

Early in the third day after Jesus’s Death on the Cross, some of Jesus’s disciples went to his tomb and found
the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. In his Gospel, Mark identifies these as the women disciples Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome. A young man in a white robe was at the tomb and said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised…. Go and tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you in Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.’” (Mark 16:6-7). The young man referred to here was really an angel.
At first all of this was unbelieveable to Jesus’s disciples. Then the Risen Christ appeared to Mary Magdalene and to some of the other disciples, showing them his wounds and even eating with the disciples. What an extraordinary experience it must have been to see the Risen Christ alive and full of glory! But still some who have heard about these appearances could not believe that Jesus has risen.
Then, as the eleven Apostles were gathered a meal, the Risen Christ appeared to them all together. He urged those who were weak in faith to now believe in him and in his Resurrection. He then said to his Apostles, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be
condemned.” (Mark 16-15-16)
The Risen Christ also told the Apostles that they would be able to so many things in his name, including driving out demons, speaking new languages, and healing the sick. He commissioned them, or sent them out, to carry the work of salvation and liberation that he had begun. Armed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they were to evangelize all people.

Grade 6-Math

Integers are numbers on a number line, as you may know. They can be positive or negative. Even though it is not common core, you can use this to help with surprise questions on the test.

Adding Integers

For problems that keep the same operation sign, add and keep the same signs. Remember: When adding negative integers, you can put the minus sign first so you don't forget it.
For problems that have different operation signs, subtract the numbers as if they were both positive, then use the sign of the number farther from zero.

Subtracting Integers

When subtracting integers, rewrite and use the addition of integers rules. If you are subtracting a negative integer, the two negatives are replaced by a positive sign because the opposite of negative is positive.

Multiplying Integers

positive × positive= positive
positive × negative= negative
negative × positive= negative
negative × negative= positive

Dividing Integers

positive ÷ positive= positive
positive ÷ negative= negative
negative ÷ positive= negative
negative ÷ negative = positive

Science-Grade 7 Notes Lesson 2

Chapter 11 Lesson 2

1. Xylem-the tissue that is made up of tubular vessels that transport water and minerals up from the roots throughout the plant.
2. Phloem-a plant tissue that is made up of tubular cells.
3. Cambium-a tissue that produces new xylem and phloem cells.
4. Stomata-the adaption of leaves is small pores in the leaf surfaces.
5. Guard cells-the stomata that open and closes the pores.

Note

• Roots absorb water and minerals, store food and anchor the plant.
• Stems transport the food and water between roots and leaves to support the plant.
• The palisade layer of leaves carries out photosynthesis. Xylem and phloem tissues are located in the spongy layer of the leaf.
• Roots have vascular tissue to move water and minerals from the ground up through the stems to the leaves.
• Each root system must support the plant parts that are above the ground-the stem, branches, and leaves of the tree, for example.
• Roots also store food. When you eat carrots or beets, you eat roots made up of stored food.
• The main functions of a stem are to support the plant and to allow movement of materials between leaves and roots. Some stems also allow them to store food.
• Inside a leaf, a leaf has many different layers, it has a rows of closely packed cells just below the upper epidermis. Palisade cells and the lower epidermis is a layer of loosely arranged cells, the spongy layer, and many air spaces. Xylem and Phloem are located in these air spaces.

Grade 6-How to Correctly Find the Surface Area

Math- Surface Area and How to Find Them

As you know on the previous homework, you may not have understood it correctly. This would help you on the next homework about surface area.

Surface area is the area of the surface of a 3D figure. Surface area can be calculated by bring the shape to be transparent. This would help you note which side of the shape you did. For example, if you would be calculating the surface area of a rectangle, you would make it transparent. Then calculate the surface area. Then add. To find the surface area, you will have to make each side of the transparent figure look like a 2D figure.

This figure shows a transparent figure.

When you are writing your equations to solve each side of the shape, you must remember to multiply by 2. Then, you would not have to keep calculating the same side of the figure.

If there is a problem that does not show the shape in transparent. Draw a new shape you can clearly visualize so you can solve the problem.

For example:

A rectangle has a length of 6 in., a width of 8 in, a height of 1 in., what i the surface area of the figure?

You would have to write the following equations.

(6x8)2= ?

(6x1)2=?

(8x1)= ?

After that, you add your sub answer to get your final answer.

Religion-Jesus suffers for the sins of Humanity

After Jesus shared the Last Supper with his disciples, he went alone to a garden to pray to his Father. Jesus had given himself to his disciples in the Eucharist and was now preparing to give his life for all of humanity. He prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42) Jesus trusted in God his Father and knew God was with him in his suffering. As Jesus prayed he was in “such agony” that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.

Later that night, Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’s own Apostles betrayed Jesus in the garden by greeting him with a kiss. By this sign that he had arranged, Judas identified Jesus to those who had come to arrest him. These men took Jesus before the Sanhedrin, the supreme religious court of the Jews, and before Caiaphas, the high priest. Caiaphas said to Jesus, “I order you to tell us under the oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” (Matthew 26:63)

Jesus said to the priest, “You have said so.” (Matthew 26: 64). The high priest said, “He is blasphemed!” (Matthew 26:65). Caiaphas was accusing Jesus of blasphemy, of referring to God in a disrespectful way. And the rest replied, “He deserves to die!” (Matthew 26:66). Jesus was then taken before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. When Judas heard this, he regretted what he had done. Judas was so overtaken with grief that he went off and took his own life.

At first, Pontius Pilate wanted to release Jesus, but Pilate’s enemies accused him of trying to stir up a rebellion against the emperor. So Pilate decided to let the crowd decide Jesus’ fate. They shouted out for Jesus’s Crucifixion. And Thus, Pilate handed over Jesus over to them to be crucified.

Special- How to build an Effective Village in Clash of Clans (COC)

Clash of Clans is an game for your ios or android that enables you to apply strategy and probability. It may
not seem like it, but it is indeed true. You may not be the best player, you might be a noob, a beginner, or a novice who is just tired of losing trophies and getting de-ranked to lower leagues. Well, it has to depend on two things, who attacks you and how your village is organized.

Here are some rules that you need to follow in order to ever be good in COC:

• Never leave you town hall on the outside, even if you surround it with defences, a quick rage and healing potion can easily grant that person a star and guarantees his/her victory.
• Always upgrade your defences and barracks to the highest lvl possible before you upgrade your town hall.
• Always use your walls to lead your opponents' troops into your traps. 
• When attacking, always make sure that you go for the town hall if it is on the outside. Always use the lightning potion to take out the mortars if you are using archers. (Mortars have less range than wizard towers)
• Send in your Barbarian King as a last resort when attacking, it is useful for the King to fight during
  
  defence battles.

Now that you have the basics to Clash of Clans, you must learn how to build a good, strong base.  Your main goal for defence is to protect your loot and prevent other people from stealing your loot. The best way to do this, since you will most likely not have enough walls to protect your entire village is that you must always put your storages surrounded by walls. It is also usually a good idea to put it at the center along with your town hall. It is also a good idea if you put your mortar at the center. Since mortars have long range, they also have the least amount of health and are very vulnerable to lightning potions. 2 lightning potions can destroy a mortar. My village has a Barbarian King, Town Hall 7, dark elixir storage, mortar and 2 wizard towers at the center surrounded by my best walls. Here's the most important thing. Make sure that you have
at least two defence guarding the things that you might decide to put outside so that they could start dealing damage as soon as possible. Also, always put your army camps, barracks, spell factories, and clan castle on the outside because they usually have no use to you at all. Usually, you would put the clan castle within the walls, but thanks to the new update by Supercell, enemy troops can no longer steal loot from the clan castle. That is all the essentials you need in order to have a good village in Clash of Clans.
You can join clan Aftermath using the advanced search options: War frequency: Always. Trophies required: 800. In the clan, you should see at least one of these elders: Naruto, King Zeus, Raymond.
Thanks.
