Well when I get older and go to college I want to study bacteria and how it funtions. So I'm asking may you please give info on bacteria. I really love bacteria and how they look. They are so fascinating! But thanks for the answers!

I think that trying first on wikipedia is better. There are a lot of info there. If you have questions, then, you can ask on here, OK? :)

OK? Just asking might as well close this thread

I get your point... Yes, it's true. That's another reason to ask if ever one has questions, say, is it true that xxxx?

Thanks! :)

It was a total blond moment on my behalf * no offence to any blonds here* but eight hours of school each day gets to you after a while and all I can seem to think about is tree species, tolerances, ecology and wildfire suppression. Even on my days off I still notice I'm looking at trees and deciding species and latin names... just like oo there's an acer rubrum outside my window (red maple)

The same is true here. Wikipedia has lots of excellent entries. If you can recognize when an entry is well written and authoritative, it's a first class source. Check what kind of references an article has to see where the writers and editors got their information. If you can't tell the difference between a good entry and a bad, it's better to go with a textbook or the Encyclopedia Britannica. (For science, Wikipedia is approximately as accurate as the Britannica.) But even textbooks have errors in them. Much as I love AMHD, it's hardly a consistent and reliable source of accurate information about science.
