 Amniotic egg: an egg laid by birds or reptiles that produce a yolk to nourish the organism inside

ATP: the plants use sunlight in their chloroplasts, the plants use sunlight to make sugars/glucose.  animals will then consume the plants to absorb the sugars. The mitochondria use the sugars inside the animal to make ATP.

Modified stem: This is a blackberry stem developed thorns to discourage predators from eating the plant.
 
 Adaptation of plants: one of the many adaptations of plants are thorns as seen on blackberry bushes

 Unicellular organism: Keys contain tons of unicellular organisms, or commonly known as bacteria. This is due to the fact that many people touch the keys and the bacteria from their hands transfer on to the keys.

Long Day Plant: clovers are long day plants because they need sunlight for a long period of time. (long day plants need sunlight for a long period of time to flower)

Eukaryote: tree cells contains a distinct membrane-bound nucleus; they are also multi cellular organisms

Asexual reproduction: Reproduction where offspring are created from and inherit the genes from a single parent. Reproducing by a variation of asexual reproduction, the dandelion's seeds are still present, even without fertilization.

Rhizome: Ginger is a rhizome because it continuously grows horizontally, underground. It has a stem that puts out lateral shoots and roots at many different intervals.

Gametophyte: This moss is a gametophyte because it produces gametes.

Pollinator: there is a bee on the flower. The bee will fly from one flower to another picking up pollen as it feeds; the pollen will soon spread among the flowers. this makes the bee a pollinator.

 
 
 Exoskeleton: This June beetle is an example of exoskeleton because it has a shell. The exoskeleton is the hard outer structure that provides protection to an organism.

Lipid used for energy storage: This Canola oil is an example of a lipid because it allows animals to store energy by producing fats.

Ethylene: Ethylene is an organic compound in ripening fruits such as a tomato.
 

  Spore: Spores are the seeds for the fungus. this mushroom (fungus) contains tons of spores.
Vestigial structures: structures that have lost most of all of their previous functions in the species. Dandilions happen to reproduce asexually and have lost use for their flowers
 
 Parasite: this mosquito is an example of a parasite because it feeds off of other organisms

Endosperm: the tissue produced inside the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization
Radial Symmetry:
 
Monocots vs. dicots (leaves): grass has veins that run parallel with one another along the whole blade of grass, identifying it as a monocot. This leaf has veins that branch off of a central vein alternating sides, indicating its a dicot.
 
Population: a group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live in the same place at the same time.
 
 
Endothermic: dogs are endothermic because they are capable of the internal generation of heat

    So during the winter months when the sunlight isn't as abundant, do all long day plants start to die? Or are they just fewer in number?

    How are the able to generate this heat?

  3. What are gametes? You say moss produces them, but not what they are. - Kristen East

    The amniotic egg also contains a thin membrane that forms a closed sac where the embryo or fetus of the organism.
    Great pictures!
