<span>The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster. </span>

Summarize the role of the endoplasmic reticulum
Shalnov [3]
Okay so there are two types of ERs, smooth and rough.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum contain ribosomes on the outer surface. It provides large surface area for proteinsynthesis and the synthesis of glycoproteins and also provides a pathway for the transport of materials.

Smooth ER synthesises, stores and transports lipids and carbohydrates.

Hope this helps

Hypothesis (prediction of what you think might happen, presented in the form of an if-then
Flauer [41]
You're making a hypothesis for the Redi and Pasteur experiments? 
Redi's experiment regarded maggots in jars with meat. And Pasteur's experiments involved nutrient broth culturing bacteria or not.

So: 
If the jars containing meat are covered, then maggots will not grow or hatch inside because life cannot form without life and the covers would block flies. 
If the nutrient broth is boiled before being sealed, then the uncovered broth will breed bacteria but the sealed broth will not because the bacteria have all been killed from heat and cannot reproduce. 

or something along those lines. Eh.

What structural feature of a leaf enables it to convert co2 from the air to atp?
notka56 [123]
Conversion of CO2 into the ATP occurs during the process of photosynthesis in different compartments of leaves. <span>Small openings-stomata are found on the surface of leaves, and they let CO2 diffuse into the mesophyll layer. The mesophyl layer of the leaf is the middle layer and it is the primary site of photosynthesis. Cells inside the mesophyll contain chloroplasts, which are specialized for the reactions of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are composed of disc-like structures called thylakoids and the membrane of each thylakoid contains green-colored pigments called chlorophylls that absorb light. The fluid-filled space around the thylakoid is the stroma, and the space inside is the thylakoid space<span>. Different chemical reactions occur in the different parts of the chloroplast.</span></span>
