Tacos, hamburgers, beef jerky, cheese, and many more products contain beef or milk products and these beef or milk products can kill you in days. These goods can harm you due to a disease that it's commonly known as Mad Cow Disease but its scientific name is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or BSE. Mad Cow Disease is a harmful disease that contaminates all of the cows produce; any consumption of the infected cows byproducts can infect a human with a disease that's is known as Creutzfeldt- Jakob Disease or CJD. Both CJD and BSE both primarily target the Brain and their main secondary target is the Spinal Cord but it also targets many more.

A list if the organelles with their functions are: Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum which both carry protein throughout the cell, Cilia squirts liquid out of the cell and projects the cell forward, the Golgi Apparatus takes simple atoms and turns them into complicated molecules and packs them up and eventually sending the molecules out ofthe cell, the Microtubules assist the cell in preforming any types of movements, Centrioles are groups of Microtubules, Ribosomes produce protein for the cell, Peroxisomes are small membrane enclosed organelles that that contain enzymes involved in a variety of metabolic reactions, Lysosomes which pick up scrapped materials from the cell for the cell, the Microfilaments are part of the cytoskeleton and gives the cell structure, chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus, the nucleus is basically the brain of the cell and contains the cells DNA, The plasma membrane also known as the cell membrane helps control what goes in and out of the cell, Nuclear Pores are like small like craters on the cell nucleus that allows molecules to pass in and out of the nucleus, and finally the Nuclear Envelope which is part of the nucleus that double layered with cell membrane.
