Homeostasis (Summer Assignment)

These flowers are in homeostasis because they have recieved energy from the sun and water, also they have grown pretty well. Homeostasis is the balance of something, which is what the flowers are; balanced.

Population (Summer Assignment)

In this picture there is a population of flowers. A population is a group of the same organisms living in an area which are the species. All of these flowers are similar.

Prokaryote (Summer Assignment)

In this picture there are prokaryotes. On the green part of the tree there is fungi and bacteria. Prokaryotes are unicellular. Bacteria is unicellular, making it a prokaryote.

Xylem (Summer Assignment)

In this picture there are plants. In these plants there are xylems, which a part of the vascular system. This helps with the internal function of the plant.

Sporophyte (Summer Assignment)

In this picture there is a sporophyte. The meaning of this word is that the plant is an alternate based on genes and is not the same as those of its generation.

Cuticle Layer of a Plant (Summer Assignment)

The cuticle layer of a plant is what covers the epidermis and keeps the water within the plant. It is the protective layer. This is why the leaves are seemingly shinier than regular leaves.

Tertiary Consumer (Summer Assignment)

Tertiary consumers are third-level predators who eat organisms that eat organisms that make their own food. This bird, although dead, is one.

Genetic Variation Within a Population (Summer Assignment)

In this photo it is visible and clear that one tree looks completely different from the others. So, there must be genetic variation in the population of trees. A different looking tree comes from the genes that it has which is not the same as other trees, so the genes within the population aren't the same.

Niche (Summer Assignment)

A niche is the function of an organism in an environment. In this environment these plants grow & make fruits and vegetables. This niche is cause by it's DNA, water, and sunlight.

Tropism (Summer Assignment)

Tropism is when the organism involuntarily moving and turning in an environment. This is what this flower did in order to grow. With water and sunlight it was able to show tropism.

Pollinator (Summer Assignment)

Pollinators are insects or animals that move pollen from the plant. As you can see in the picture, the bee is removing pollen from the flower and helping it produce seeds. They both benefit from this action.

Auxin Producing Area of a Plant (Summer Assignment)

In this picture you see a plant. But you also can easily point out the auxin area, which is where the hormone "auxin" is located at the tip, which helps in the process of reproduction, and is needed.

Autotroph (Summer Assignment)

An autotroph is an organism that can create it's own food. Plants, as we know, use photosynthesis. These plants are both autotrophs and are using the sun in their process in this picture.

Adaptation of an Animal (Summer Assignment)

In order for animals to survive they must adapt to their enviromment. This means they but get used to it and what it contains, and try to survive. This would include food, water, and energy. Unfortunately this bird was not able to survive or adapt. It did not fully develop and was killed before it could. It was not able to survive due to either preditation or too much sunlight. Because of it it died.

Adaptation of a Plant (Summer Assignment)

Adaptation is how something gets used to, develops and survive in environment. In this environment the plant must have adapted in a similar way to the other plants (sunlight, water), but it is more developed. It also can survive in the environment in ways that other plants cannot because of its structure; maybe even its color.

Stigma & Style of Carpel (Summer Assigmment)

In this picture (if you zoom in) you can see the stigma of the flower, which is the tip of the pistil that is sticky. It is at the end of the carpel, and it is where the pollen is recieved during fertolization. The style is the tube at the top of the ovary. These all are used along with the ovary in reproduction.

Eukaryote (Summer Assignment)

In this picture you see leafs. These leafs have eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes have more than one cell & are more complex than prokaryotes. These leafs have many cells and are eukaryotes.

Mutualism (Summer Assignment)

I apologize for not being able to get a clear shot of all the bees in the picture. But there were several bees in this act of mutualism where many bees were on the flowers getting nectar. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit from the interaction between the two. Bees, as we all know, recieve what they need from the plant, use the nector and produce honey. The plants go through fertilization and produce their seeds.

Pollen (Summer Assignment)

 

My apologies for the blurry picture. But, this pollen. Pollen is usually yellow & come from flowers. It's a powdery substance, Many humans are allergic to it because of the grain it contains. It comes from the male part of the flower. This substance is also the fertilizer element, which is used in the process of fertilization because it is what produced male sperm.
