Please check the page before selecting a topic to makes sure the image is still needed!
 * epithelial cell - distinguish dif. type
 * Centromere - diagram showing classification based on centromere position, metacentric, submetacentric, etc. Ideas
 * Hormone - how hormones interact with receptors and what receptors are
 * Spleen - Probably two separate diagrams. One of red pulp structures to show how it filters blood. Also schematic of how white pulp to highlight how does it's job.
 * TATA box - several examples of real TATA box sequences in real organisms.
 * Endosymbiont and Endosymbiotic theory - Create a diagram explaining 2004 Jeon experiment - Amoeba and Bacteria-X, showing evidence of endosymbiosis see ref: http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/endosymbiosis_01
 * hemoglobin and [[Chlorophyll] comparison of molecular structures https://science2be.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/the-amazing-similarity-between-blood-and-chlorophyll/
 * Convergent evolution - overview image showing analogous structures
 * Convergent evolution - overview image showing placental and marsupial mammal niche similarities
 * Catabolism vs. Anabolism - overview visual comparison model
 * Positive feedback - make an animated gif that shows how positive feedback works
 * Negative feedback - make an animated gif that shows hownegative feedback works
 * Temperature-dependent sex determination - a model illustrating the principle of this in a REAL species (see graph already on page)
 * snRNP - what are they and what do they do
 * Intron - diagram showing what useful function introns play in organisms after being spliced out.
 * Viroid - better diagram illustrating what a viroid is and its replication-infection cycle
 * Diatom - a diagram of a labeled cell (these organisms are one of the most important groups of phytoplankton in the ocean)
 * Camelid - make a cladogram for extant camels - use wikipedia's clade script (see the Elephantidae page for example and script template).
 * Tunicate & Sea squirt - Life cycle of a this non-vertebrate chordate
 * Neoteny & Axolotl - make a diagram showing the neotenic traits of this species as compared to the normal life cycle/ development seen in regular salamnders
 * Holometabolism vs. Hemimetabolism side by side comparison of two type of metamorphasis in insects
 * Sexual selection - a diagram showing sexual selection in a real species over time causing the runaway affect to occur
 * Anoxygenic photosynthesis - summary schematic (see photosynthesis for example]])
 * Chemosynthesis & chemoautotroph - summary schematic (see photosynthesis for example]])
 * Lactic acid fermentation - summary schematic (see Ethanol_fermentation and fermentation for example.
 * Reflex arc recreate the overview schematic in a more clear and colorful way.
 * Molecular_cloning - overview of how recombinant proteins are created through genetic engineering
 * Molecular clock - overview image showing how mutations in conserved regions accumulate slowly over time at a regular rate.
 * Lamarckian inheritance - good example of how Lamarck said evolution would occur
 * Glycocalyx - overview for article - slime layers of bacteria, fish, and digestive tract
 * Red Queen hypothesis and Coevolution - Illustrate overview of major evolutionary concept
 * Salamander - Lungless salamander vs. Lunged Salamander vs. Gilled salamander

2017 ideas

 * Salamander - Lungless salamander vs. Lunged Salamander vs. Gilled salamander
 * Camelid - make a cladogram for extant camels - use wikipedia's clade script (see the Elephantidae page for example and script template).
 * Molecular clock - overview image showing how mutations in conserved regions accumulate slowly over time at a regular rate.
 * Anoxygenic photosynthesis - summary schematic (see photosynthesis for example]])
 * mucin - structural diagram of the molecule
 * mucus - functions of mucus
 * Receptor (biochemistry) - an animation / .gif showing a more accurate representation of how membrane receptors receive signals and convey them into the cytoplasm to their secondary messenger
 * snRNP - what are they and what do they do
 * Chitin vs. cellulose - comparison of how they are structured and derived from glucose. Use a color coded the haworth projection.

2018 ideas
