Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

<span>In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.</span>

4 facts on cork cells
denis-greek [22]
<span>Cork cells are plant cells on the outer edge of the trunks/limbs of woody plants. The cell wall is made of suberin, which doesn't let gas or water through. In essence, this helps keep the water in and unwanted things (like pathogens) out. The inside of the cell is usually empty, but may have a few traces of things depending on species. These cells don't replicate and are generally considered to be dead.</span>
