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.

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.
