Challenge: Design a Martian

Ms. Neme Alperstein
Team 3

My Martian has body parts that help it to live and survive on Mars. Since my Martian is a bacterium, it will need certain body parts.

One of its body structures are threadlike hairs which help it to flow in the atmosphere and come up to the surface of Mars.

Another feature that it has is pores, which allow my Martian to breathe and live freely underground. The pores also suck in bits of rocks and soil on Mars.

One other function that can help it to survive on Mars is its suction cups which prevent it from getting blown away by dust storms on Mars. It does so by either sticking to the surface of Mars or clinging on to the rocks on Mars.

Our Martian has mobility to move around on Mars. Its threadlike structures and suction cups help it to do so. It also has a brain to function the body.
