The Hot Zone Part Three

This part of the book was exciting, as it is where the action of killing the infected monkeys to stop the spread of the virus occurred.  However, I preferred the planning stage in part two better, as that is more interesting to me.  It was very interesting to see what the specimens looked like under the electron microscope- that was my favorite part of this section.  The ending seemed rather anti-climactic, but that is a good thing, as that means the virus didn't kill the majority of America's, and the world's, population.  My question is: what would daily life be like for the survivors, if this virus killed humans, after 90% of the population died?

Sixth Biology Scavenger Hunt


Population: This is a good example of population, as you can see that there are many buffalo, or bison, pictured here, and they are all living in the same area.


Pollen- These flowers are full of pollen, as it allows the plant to reproduce. 



Frond: This is a frond, as it is a large, finely divided leaf





Pollinator: This butterfly is in the process of pollinating flowers, making it a pollinator.





Pollinator (2): The bee on this pole- I didn't want to get too close- is an excellent example of a pollinator, as they are know for pollinating.
