This image shows the evolution of a generation or family members, from beginning to end. From being the youngest member to the eldest member of the family. From time to time, this shows how evolution happens within everything we see around each other no matter if it's humans, animals, plants, or the world around us. Time is everything when it comes to evolution. You can start seeing it from when a baby is born. From where they only drink milk to being able to eat solids. They learn to crawl on 4 to walking on their 2 legs and eventually speaking instead of blabbing words. Evolution occurs throughout life.

Staphylococcus aureus causes skin infections. This is a type of bacterium that is classified as a prokaryote. It's part of the normal flora on the skin and mucous membranes of humans. It's commonly found in the nose and upper respiratory tract. It can be harmless but can cause serious infections like skin, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections. Can also be resistant to antibiotics. Staphylococcus name comes from its grape cluster when looking under a microscope, while aureus means golden in Latin, referring to its pigmentation.

The website states that this organism can be dangerous and can be found in common areas, it is also carried by 30% of the population.

This diagram illustrates how Monocots and Dicots are almost similar to each other. Though they are not similar to each other because they have different characteristics like the Cotyledon, Monocot has one while Dicot has two, the leaf depends on their veins, stems are different because of how the vascular bundle is placed and the flower depends on how many petals are on the flower. If it's more than 3-4 it's a Dicot. One of my favorite flowers are roses because they have multiple petals and they are classified as Dicots because they have two Cotyledons and network of veins on their leaves. Often when it comes to being outside, we usually see grass on the daily bases. It's incredible that grass is classified as a monocot and always see that the grass is the same, it does not change on how it looks, it will look the same, even if you are coming from a whole different state or country the grass will look the same. I often don't question what plants are around, but it's interesting to understand the concept of the pants around us.
