This Virus is called a spacecraft because of its shape and it only attacks bacteria. A virus is a microscopic particle that gets inside a cell and often destroys the cell. Viruses are not cells because they do not have cytoplasm or organelles. A virus can only survive in a host cell which is an organism that a parasite takes food or shelter in.
Bacteria
Here is a picture of a bacteria.
The Bacteria are a group of unicellular microorganism. They live in almost every habitat even nuclear waste and acidic hot springs. Bacteria were first observed by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1676, using a single-lens microscope that he designed. The ancestors of modern bacteria are the were the first forms of life to develop earth which happened about 4 billion years ago.
Archaea
Here is a picture of an Archaea.
They are a group of microorganisms similar to bacteria or prokaryotes they have no clear nucleus. At first they were ween as extremophiles living in harsh environments such as salt lakes and hot springs but lately they've been found in marshlands, soils, and oceans. there are alot of Archaea in the ocean. The plankton are one of the most abundant organism groups on the planet.

Eukaryote cell description
An electron micrograph of Chlamydomonas, a photosynthetic eukaryotic cell.
An Animal Cell are Eukaryote cells with complex structures inclosed in a membrane. The cell division process for a animal cell is much different from the cell division for a prokaryotic. Cell division for a eukaryote cell involves duplicating chromosomes.
Animal Organelles
The organelles in an animal cell are as follows,
Cell Membrane- the layer of phospholipids that covers the cell's surface and protects the cell
Cytoplasm- the part of a cell that is enclosed within the plasma membrane
Nucleus-a membrane bound organelle that contains the cell's DNA and that has a role in processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction
Ribosome-a cell organelle composed of RNA and; the site of protien synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum- a system of membranes that is found in the cell's cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of protiens and in the production of lipids
Mitochondrion-the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of the cellular respiration
Golgi Complex-cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell
Vesicle- a small bubble of liquid within a cell
Lysosome- organelles containing digestive enzymes
Prokaryotic Cells
The picture above is a prokaryotic cell. A prokaryotic cell is a cell with no definded nucleus. They are different from eukaryotes because eukaryotes have a difinded cell nucleus.
Organelles
nucleus- the organelle that contains the cell's DNA and is the control center of the cell
Ribosome- the organelle in which amino acids are hooked together to make protiens
Endoplasmic Riticulum- the organelle that makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages protiens for Golgi Complex
Mitochondrion- the organelle that breaks down food molecules to make ATP
Chloroplasts- the organelle that uses the energy of the sunlight to make food
Golgi Complex- the organelle that processes and transports protiens and other materials out of the cell
Large central vacuole- the organelle that stores water and other materials
Lysosome- the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foriegn invaders
Photosynethesis
here is a diagram of photosynthesis-www.osovo.com/diagram/ phototsynthesis.gif
"Photosynthesis is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae and many species of Bacteria, but not in Archea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautrophs, but not all organisms that use light as a source of energy carry out photosynthesis, since photoheterotrophs use organic compounds, rather than carbon dioxide, as a source of carbon."

The reason I choose the American bald Eagle for my animal is because it's the one animal that represents America. The Bald Eagle is bird of prey found in North America. The Bald Eagle is a large bird with a body length of 71-106 cm, a wingspan of 183-234 cm, and a mass of 3-7 kg; females are 25 percent larger than males. Bald Eagles mostly feed on fish. In the pacific northwest trout and salmon provide most of the Bald Eagles diet. Bald Eagles are sexually mature at age four or five years of age. In the late 20th century Bald eagles were added to the endangered species list but then officially reclassified in 1995 to threatened. Through many obstacles the Bald Eagle has prevailed and that's why it's my favorite animal.
