Viruses
A virus is a microscopic organism lives inside a host cell. When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material (DNA) into its host which enables the virus to take over all the functions of the cell.Viruses cause a number of diseases in humans. Smallpox, the common cold, chickenpox, influenza, shingles, herpes, polio, rabies, Ebola, hanta fever, and AIDS are examples of viral diseases. Even some types of cancer can be linked to viruses. . Hand sanitizers that many people use don't kill every thing that's on our hands, one of the most common places viruses can be found. And once they're in the body, viruses are quite tough to kill. Sometimes antibioics are powerless against them and vaccines for influenza and some other viruses must be changed every year to adapt to new strains. Fortunately our immune systems can fight off many viruses, but some, like Ebola or even influenza, can be deadly, so it's a good idea to wash your hands often to kill germs.

Animal Cell
This is a detailed diagram of an animal cell
Animal Organelles
These are the main organelles in an animal cell:
Cell membrane:
This is a complicated diagram of a cell membrane, I have no idea what most of the stuff is.
Cytoskeleton:
This is a photo of cytoskeleton
Nucleus
This is a diagram of a nucleus
Ribosome
This is a ribosome.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
These are the two types of ER
Mitochondrion
This is a mitochondrion
Golgi Complex
This is a golgi complex
Vesicle
This is a vesicle
Lysosome
This is a lyosome

Plants
this is a picture of an Amorpha fruticosa plant.
Plants are very complex organisms and are very different, but they all share some common traits. Plants all do the process of photosynthesis, which is how plants get food by sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. They also all have cuticles, which is a waxy layer that coats most of the surface of plants that are exposed to air. Cuticles are important because it keep the plant from drying out, which could kill it. Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall, which keeps plants upright. The cell wall is made of carbohydrates and proteins, which make the hard material that supports and protects the plant. Some plants also have a second cell wall that they get when they mature. Plant cells have two stages in their life: the sporophyte stage and the gametophyte stage. In the sporophyte stage plants make and release spores that grow into plants. The new plants are called gametophytes. During the gametophyte stage, female gametophytes produce eggs and the males produce sperm. Because they are sex cells, they can't grow directly into new plants, so the fertilized egg grows into a sporophyte, and the cycle starts again.

Photosynthesis
this is a diagram of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process, by which plants make a food from carbon dioxide and water called glucose. Plants capture energy from sunlight, which is used to make sugar glucose ( C6 H12 O6). Photosynthesis occurs in a plant cell's chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are surrounded by 2 membranes and inside it, is other membranes called grana. Grana contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, that absorbs light energy, and it is the reason most plants are green. Photosynthesis can be summed up in the following process: six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are needed to form one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.
