  • Do jellyfish have immune systems?

    Do jellyfish have immune systems? Also, how, if they do at all, react/adjust to pathogens entering it's body? For example, how does it fight disease/bacteria? Please include sources! Thanks!

  • Jellyfish Questions?!?!?

    So, I'm doing a year long organism project and my habitat is the coral reef. For my organism, as you can tell, I chose a jellyfish. I just have some questions that I need to clarify. So, any marine biologists out there? Or anybody else who has some knowledge of jellyfish, please tell me. The questions are...

    1. How did it evolve? (I just wrote that it's still a mystery)

    2. How does it maintain homeostasis? (is it just that they stay in warm waters?)

    3. Does it use photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both for energy(isn't it only photosynthesis?)

    4. Do, and if so how, jellyfish use matter for growth and storage?

    5. How is energy stored and made available for the jellyfishes daily activities?

    6. What are the characteristics of a particular cell in the jellyfish?(can i just do the stinger cells?)

    7. What types of organisms does a jellyfish need in it's cells in order for it to survive?

    And last, but not least...

    8. What is your view on jellyfish? love them? hate them? ever been stung by one?

    Thanks.

  • Python Programming Question...How do you code...?

    Okay, guys. Taking a creative computing (programming class). We're using Python as our language. I'm just a novice (noob), so I don't know anything about this. We're supposed to write a code for this word game, and I started, but I don't know what I did wrong. Below are the instructions and my code. Can you tell me what I need to do next?

    Thanks!

    Activity 2: Word games

    Your program should pick a random word from a list you pre-define and allow the player to

    guess it. The computer should tell the player how many letters are in the word. Then the player

    should get 5 chances to guess a letter in the word. The computer responds either with no or with

    the number of times the letter appears (you should look up the count method). After 5 suggested

    letters, the user must attempt to guess the word.

    Here is an example run, but feel free to get creative with the text and make any extensions you

    want (user input underlined):

    Welcome to an amazing word game! I am thinking of a word that

    you need to guess. You can ask me whether 5 letters are in the

    word.

    Your letter guess: b

    No, not in my word!

    Your letter guess: e

    Yes, 3 in my word.

    Your letter guess: q

    No, not in my word!

    Your letter guess: h

    Yes, 1 in my word.

    Your letter guess: l

    Yes, 1 in my word.

    Your word guess: elePhant

    You’re right, my word was Elephant!!

    from random import*

    def word_games():

    word_list=["happy","festival","sticky","tunnel","keyboard","paper"]

    shuffle(word_list)

    secret_word=word_list[0]

    print "Welcome to my word game. I'm thinking of a word. You have five chances to ask if a letter is in it or not, and at the end, you will be asked to guess my word. Good luck!"

    print "Hint, my word has ", len(secret_word), "letters in it."

    for i in range(5):

    guess=raw_input("Your letter guess: ")

    for letter in secret_word:

    count=0

    if (guess==letter):

    count+=1

    if (count>0):

    print ("Yes, there are "+(count)+" in my word.")

    else:

    print ("No, there are none in my word.")

    final_guess=raw_input("Okay, chances up. Your word guess: ")

    if (final_guess==secret_word):

    print "Yes, you are correct. My word is ",secret_word,".You win!"

    else:

    print "Noooooo, you are wrong. My word is ",secret_word,".You lose."

  • What are homes and schools in Ecuador like?

    Doing a mini-project in Spanish class. We have to choose a Spanish-speaking country (Ecuador for me) and find out about what their homes and schools are like and how they are similar/different then ours in America.

    Examples of what we can find are...

    Schools

    --(classes) How many teachers do they have? How many students are there in a classroom?

    --(grades) What kind of grading system is used in our assigned country?

    --(uniforms) do public school students wear uniforms?

    --(schedules) How many hours are they in school? Do they leave for siesta and return later in the day?

    Homes

    --Do most people live in hoses or apartments?

    --Is it common for teenagers to have their own bedroom?

    --Is it common to own Tvs Do kids have TVs in their bedrooms

    --Do students ride a school bus or walk to school?

    Anything about these topics will help, thanks!
