This is not photoshop, no clever graphics, no movie scene... it's a hydrothermal worm.
And it's a real creature.
It's just really, really small. So small in fact, that this image comes from an electron microscope.
Taken using an FEI Quanta SEM, this image is amazingly zoomed in 525 times. The real width of the field in the image is 568μm, or 568/1000 of a millimeter. It's far larger than an atom, but still among the smallest living things.
The worm, as scary as it looks, is something most people will never actually get to see (or have to worry about, for that matter). Hydrothermal worms are deep sea creatures, almost as small as bacterium, and are largely found near hydrothermal vents in the ocean.

Diffusion and Osmosis
Your groups task today is to learn about Diffusion and Osmosis. You should be able to answer the following questions or statements: a) What is diffusion and osmosis? Make sure you understand difference. b) What is a semi-permeable membrane? Make sure you understand the word - semi-permeable. c) Draw simple but fully labelled diagrams to show the what occurs. d) Find one or more good videos that explains osmosis and diffusion.
