Wetlands
Nature's filters and buffers
Wetlands slow floods, improve water quality, protect shorelines, and create habitat that supports rich biodiversity.

Flood Protection
Wetlands absorb storm surges and reduce downstream flooding.
Water Quality
Vegetation and soil trap sediments and pollutants.
Biodiversity
Provide breeding grounds and migration stops for wildlife.

Citizen Science Getting Started
Participate in real studies with simple tools and protocols.
How it works
Immune Response
See how barriers, immune cells, and antibodies coordinate to detect threats and clear infections.
Comparison
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Mitosis makes matching cells for growth and repair, while meiosis creates sex cells and introduces genetic variation.
Examples
Osmosis
Osmosis is water diffusion through a semipermeable membrane toward higher solute concentration.
