| 735612694 | How malaria is passed from person to person | The mosquito "bites" a person that has the plasmodium sporozoan in their bloodstream. The plasmodium cells go to the mosquito's salivary glands. Before feeding on the blood of another human, the infected mosquito injects some of its saliva, containing the parasite, into the puncture wound of this new victim. The plasmodium goes to the human liver cells, reproduces quickly, and then enters the bloodstream where they will burst and fully infect the human. | |

| 735823699 | What is countershading in fish and why its important | Countershading is a form of camouflage that protects fish from predators above and below it.

| 735823706 | Know how a Starfish captures and eats prey | A starfish will use its rays to capture the food.
