Tardigrades, also called water bears, are microscopic segmented animals with eight legs. they are normally about 70 percent body water, but they can survive extreme dehydration (to just a few percent body water) for up to 10 years! after a decade you can add water and the tardigrades will start swimming around. say you enter a lab. your new boss gives you five dehydrated tardigrades and asks you to demonstrate that the tardigrades are alive in their dehydrated state. how would you demonstrate this?

I would give them water and when they start swimming it's a proof that they have been alive, after all, how would they start moving if they have been dead

characterization of nanoparticles is a critical step in nanomaterial production as it provides information of dimension, morphology, surface charge, distribution and degree of surface functionalization.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
