These are different types of carbohydrates. A carbohydrate is an organic compound consisting of a chain or ring of carbon atoms to which hydrogen and oxygen atoms are attached in a 2:1. Carbohydrates include sugars, starch, glycogen and cellulose.

A cucumber is a eukaryote. An eukaryote is a cell characterized by membrane-bounded organelles and one that possesses chromosomes whose DNA is associated with proteins; an organism composed of such cells.
5
Cheese and an apple are two different types of proteins. A protein is a chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
6
These are amniotic eggs. They are isolated and protected from the environment by a shell during the period of their development. It is completely self-sufficient and it only requires oxygen.
7
Carrots are known as enzymes. An enzyme is a protein that is capable of speeding up specific chemical reactions by lowering the required activation energy.
8
Trees are known as autotrophs. An autotroph is an organism that is able to produce its own food source using only simple inorganic compounds.
9
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma. In this picture my pen is attempting to point to the pollinator which is the bee. The bee is in charge of the transfer.
10
Mushrooms are known as a type of spore. A spore is a reproductive cell, mostly unicellular, capable of developing into an adult without fusion with another cell.
11
Spiders have segmented bodies. A spiders body is divided into two easily recognized parts, the prosoma,composed of the fused head and thorax and the abdomen.

Flowers are known to reproduce through asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is the process by which an individual inherits all of its chromosomes from a single parent and is genetically identical to the parent by the process of meiosis.
Good work!
ReplyDeleteSome corrections:
1. While cheese does contain a lot of protein; apples have only a minimal amount in them. Look up what the major organic molecule is in apples.
2. Carrots are NOT enzymes. Enzymes are molecules that have a special function. Try to find a better example.
3. Mushrooms are NOT spores. Mushrooms PRODUCE spores for reproduction. It would be like saying "men are sperm"... no they produce sperm for reproduction.
4. Flowers are absolutely the OPPOSITE of asexual reproduction. Also, Meiosis is the OPPOSITE of producing genetically identical offspring. It is VERY important you clear up this misunderstanding for yourself this year!
