1. Anther and Filament of

Stamen

The anther and

filament of this

flower stamen are

where pollen is

produced.

2. Ectotherm

This frog is an

ectotherm

because it cannot

maintain its own

body heat.

3. Epithelial Tissue

Epithelial tissue line

surfaces

throughout the

body. My hand is

an example of

epithelial tissue.

4. Recessive phenotype

My mom’s eye is

blue: blue eyes are

a recessive trait.

Dominant Phenotype

My sister’s eyes are

brown- a good

example of a

dominant

phenotype.

5. Amniotic Egg

As opposed to

embryonic

eggs, with one

membrane, amniot

ic eggs have more

than one

membrane.

Chicken eggs are

an example of this.

6. Heterotroph

Heterotrophs are

organisms that

have to use

organic carbon for

growth, like my

cat, Riley.

7. k-strategist

A k-strategist is an

organism that has

few offspring and

takes care of them

until they are

grown. Cats are a

good example of

this.

8. Autotroph

Autotrophs are

organisms that can

produce their own

food, and don’t

need to consume

organic

compounds, like

these flowers.

9. Frond

A long string of

leaves on a plant,

or a large divided

leaf. This picture is

the former.

10. Eukaryote

Eukaryotes, like this

large-leafed

plant, have a

nuclear envelope.

As opposed to

prokaryotes, which

do not.

11. Meristem

The part of a plant

that is

growing, consisting

of undifferentiated

cells, like these

budding flowers.

12. Cuticle layer of a plant

The protective

waxy covering on

most plant leaves.

13. Gynosperm leaf

Gynosperms are

plants that store

their seeds in

cones, like conifers.

This is a twig of one

in my yard.

14. Gynosperm cone

This pinecone from

my yard is an

example of the

cone from a plant

that stores its seed

there.

15. Hydrophobic

A hydrophobic

substance is

nonpolar, so it does

not bond with

water- like a lipid.

16. Hydrophilic

A substance that is

polar, so it readily

bonds with water-

like NaCl, or table

salt.

17. Flower ovary

A flower ovary is

inside the small

green circular part

at the base of the

flower.

18. Animal Adaptation

This conch shell

that I found in the

Gulf of Mexico

would have

provided

protection for a

sea snail

19. Glycogen

A polysaccharide

that can serve as

energy storage.

Bread and other

starchy foods can

boost glycogen

levels after rigorous

exercise.

20. Introduced Species

A species that is

not native to the

environment but is

introduced. This

tree in my yard is a

European

Birdcherry… not

native to America.

21. Fermentation

This glass of beer has alcohol in it, and it went through a process called fermentation, which gives the beer its carbonation and alcohol content.

22. Parenchyma cells

Parenchyma cells

form the ground

tissue in plants, like

in these alfalfa

sprouts.

23. Basidiomycetes

Basidiomycetes are

a type of fungi that

reproduce

sexually, via club-

like ends, such as

the chopped-up

mushrooms

pictured here.

24. Auxin-producing area of a

plant

Auxin is produced

at the tip of the

stem, and at the

tip of wherever the

plant is growing.

25. Connective tissue

Connective tissue

supports and

connects different

tissues or organs.

Cartilige and bone

are both types of

connective tissue

26. Endotherm

An endotherm is

an organism that

can keep its own

body temperature

level, like me.

27. Ethylene

Ethylene is a

colorless,

flammable

hydrocarbon

commonly found in

antifreeze.

28. Rhizome

A rhizome is the

subterranean stem

of a plant, like

ginger. This ginger

has been peeled

but is still a rhizome.

29. Redox reaction

A redox reaction is

a reaction is which

the oxidation state

is changed.

Rust, like on this

shower curtain

rod, is a good

example.

30. Lipid used for energy

storage

Lipids are often

used for energy

storage, and can

be found in fatty

things like this stick

of butter.
