# The Animal Cell vs The Plant Cell: The Duel of the Century (Under the Microscope)

Hello, lovers of science and fun! Today we're going to talk about a topic that seems boring but is as thrilling as a wrestling match. Yes, you read that right! We're talking about the never-ending battle between animal and plant cells. Imagine them as two superheroes duking it out in the ring of the body, each with their own superpowers.

## What Are They Basically Like?

### Animal Cell
It's the party animal of biology. It loves to be on the move, it's dynamic, and it comes in various shapes. It's more like a young person in a nightclub than a scholar in a library.

### Plant Cell
It's more like a zen monk. It's square, disciplined, and is generally found in an "ommmm" posture inside plants. Its shape is more rigid and, let's say, less "party-like."

## The Powers (Structures)

### Nucleus
Both cells have a nucleus. It's like their brain, the place where they store all the information needed to function.

### Cytoplasm
Imagine that the cytoplasm is like a dance hall, where everyone moves around and does their job. Both cells have one.

### Cell Membrane
Both have a cell membrane, kind of like the nightclub door that allows substances to enter and exit.

## The Differences (i.e., their unique superpowers)

### Cell Wall
The plant cell has a cell wall that the animal cell doesn't. It's like having Captain America's shield to protect itself.

### Chloroplasts
The plant cell is the only one that can perform photosynthesis thanks to its chloroplasts. It's like having an "Iron Man suit" that allows it to create its own energy.

### Lysosomes
The animal cell has lysosomes, responsible for digestion. It's as if it has its own internal Pac-Man that eats up waste.

### Vacuoles
Both cells have vacuoles, but the ones in plant cells are like "the millionaire's swimming pool," much larger and more luxurious.

### Centrioles
The animal cell has centrioles, useful in cell division. It's like having its own "cloning machine."

## in a nutshell
And there you have it, folks. As you can see, each cell has its charm and superpowers. But instead of competing, they work together to make this world a more incredible place.

So the next time you bite into a carrot or your pet strokes you, remember that there's an epic battle happening in the microscopic world, and now you know who the fighters are in that ring!

Until next time, may the (cellular) force be with you!

# La Célula Animal vs La Célula Vegetal: El Duelo del Siglo (En Microscopio)

¡Hola, amantes de la ciencia y de la diversión! Hoy vamos a hablar de un tema que parece aburrido pero que es tan apasionante como un combate de lucha libre. ¡Sí, sí, has leído bien! Se trata de la interminable batalla entre las células animales y vegetales. Imagina que son como dos superhéroes que luchan en el ring del cuerpo, cada una con sus propias superhabilidades.

## ¿Cómo Son Básicamente?

### Célula Animal
Es la fiestera de la biología. Le encanta estar en movimiento, es dinámica y tiene formas variadas. Se parece más a un joven en una discoteca que a un erudito en una biblioteca.

### Célula Vegetal
Es más como un monje zen. Es cuadrada, disciplinada, y se encuentra generalmente en una postura de "ommmm" en el interior de las plantas. Su forma es más rígida y, digamos, menos "fiestera".

## Los Poderes (Estructuras)

### Núcleo
Ambas células tienen un núcleo. Es como su cerebro, el lugar donde guardan toda la información para funcionar.

### Citoplasma
Imagínate que el citoplasma es como un salón de baile, donde todo el mundo se mueve y hace su trabajo. Las dos células tienen uno.

### Membrana Celular
Las dos tienen una membrana celular, algo así como la puerta de la discoteca que permite la entrada y salida de sustancias.

## Las Diferencias (O sea, sus superpoderes únicos)

### Pared Celular
La célula vegetal tiene una pared celular que la célula animal no tiene. Es como tener un escudo de Capitán América que la protege.

### Cloroplastos
La célula vegetal es la única que puede hacer fotosíntesis gracias a sus cloroplastos. Es como si tuviera un "traje de Iron Man" que le permite crear su propia energía.

### Lisosomas
La célula animal tiene lisosomas, responsables de digerir las cosas. Es como si tuviera un pequeño Pac-Man interno que se come los desechos.

### Vacuolas
Ambas células tienen vacuolas, pero las de las células vegetales son como "la piscina del millonario", mucho más grandes y lujosas.

### Centríolos
La célula animal tiene centríolos, útiles en la división celular. Es como si tuviera su propia "máquina de clonación".

## Resumiendo
Y ahí lo tienes, amig@s. Como podéis ver, cada célula tiene su encanto y superpoderes. Pero en lugar de competir, trabajan juntas para hacer de este mundo un lugar más increíble.

Así que la próxima vez que muerdas una zanahoria o te acaricie tu mascota, recuerda que hay una batalla épica ocurriendo en el mundo microscópico, ¡y ahora sabes quiénes son los luchadores en ese ring!

Hasta la próxima, ¡y que la fuerza (celular) esté contigo!

The MultiSim Status Report hud is now available at wizardry. It's just a button you wear on screen. You click the button and it runs through a list of your sims, (you did edit the script and put in a list of YOUR sims right?), and it checks the status of the simulator for you and posts the result in local chat. The status can be: 1) UP 2) DOWN 3) STARTING 4) STOPPING 5) CRASHED 6) UNKNOWN. This amazing little device can prevent those strange and bizarre problems that happens when a sim is 'half-crashed' and doing weird and funky stuff to your inventory database.
Blender buddies regular weekly meeting will be at 9 PM grid time. Main topic is rigging. If you need caught up with installations feel free to come early. Otherwise come with something new you rigged from previous classes and bring questions! Very happy!
My Grid recorder project. This project is one where you wear an attachment and when you go to other grids, it gets the name and address of the grid and saves it to a list. Unfortunately it's not very useful as many of the grids I go to have scripts turned off, in which case it doesnt work at all. Or... the hud gets reset on the journey there and doesn't work. So far in the past 2 years I've got a total of 9 grids in the list, although I have been to many many more grids. Thank you for all the nice people I've met out there and the many good people I have met and made friends with. If you are interested in this project for whatever reason, you need to make a website where you can run the php script and you need to wear an attachment that can get the name of the grid and send it to the list in the table. Maybe somebody can think of a use for it.

THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

MrSnoodle: As a Linux user I would love something like this. I did help my dyslexic friend setup his own dream grid world a few weeks ago on his windows 11 laptop. I was surprised how versatile dream grid was a... 1 years ago
Bad Event Idea #1015: Best At Being Late To The Party
Showing up on time for a party can be awkward for the unprepared host, who generally expects guests to be "fashionably late". But worst of all is the guest who shows up raring to go just when the party is winding down. But being late to the "Best At Being Late To The Party" event is rewarded...maybe. Actually, the prize will go to some random person in OS who didn't show up at the party at all! What could be later than that!

Jupiter Rowland: I think defining "best" by how late you are isn't as interesting as defining "best" by how you're late. Get online long before the party starts, but don't go to the party in time. Have a lame excuse.... 1 years ago

Lakes Estate

Here's the calendar of events for Saturday, the second day of OSFest, with a ton of great talent lined up for another day of partying plus our first satellite event!

On the calendar starting at 11 am pst is our first satellite event on another grid - this time at Utopia Skye Grid. The Golden Touch Theater will be performing a show celebrating 10 years of GT. The Golden Touch Theater has performed virtual dance and theatrical productions spanning many genres and styles. This show celebrates a history of those productions vibrant with colors, styles, music, and joy. Do join us and suspend time to be transported into the whimsical and artistic minds of those in the Golden Touch Theater group.

Please Note: This is a satellite event for OSFest and will be held on Utopia Skye Grid directly on The Golden Skye region, which is closed to the hyper grid, so you'll need to make an avatar to see the show, but we have starter avatars set up & ready to go (including a fully set up Dinkie starter avatar & a setup Ruth mesh avatar), and account creation is easy. Go here to get started: https://utopiaskyegrid.com/
MAGICAL JELLY FISH (*) on mesh for your underwater regions or even parties with blinking lights and rotation (**) Available for FREE and FULL PERM at BOX 04 (XMAS AREA). Enjoy :)
(*) Jelly fish looks different than the one exposed here -as its trully difficult to make a decent an alpha pic with almost transparent objects....
(**) Available also model without rotation and particles, if needed.

This will be my avi for Open Sim Fest 2023. I will try to find other outfits. This is a Felix Ringtail Ruth2 avi. Yes, I know I have a um... semi metric ton of c*pyb%t junk. But I'm trying my best to have plenty of cc0 material as well.

The original form of this avi had some complexity busting fur parts... about 120k total if I used it all, so I changed things here. The only things I've retained from the original outfit are the choker and the boots. I am using my Kitely account here.
