This is a frond. A frond is a large leaf with many different divisions to it. Fronds have the structure of ferns and alga. Unlike the fern and the alga, fronds have spore-bearing reproductive structures.

This is my little brother and as a human, he is an example of a heterotroph. A heterotroph is an organism that cannot derive energy from photosynthesis or inorganic chemicals. Heterotrophs have to feed on other plants and animals to obtain chemical energy.




15













A flower is an example of an organism that goes through ATP. ATP is a process that takes place through respiration so that a plant can produce its own energy

The bark of a tree is an example of cambium. Cambium is a layer of delicate meristematic tissue between the inner bark and the wood. It is found on the outside and forms all secondary growth in plants and forms the annual rings of wood.

My little brothers little hand represents epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue is a tissue that covers internal organs and other internal surfaces of the body.

The outer layer of the leaf is the cuticle layer of the plant. This layer protects and supports the plant.

The ear is an example of connective tissue. Connective tissue supports and surrounds other tissues and organs, cartliage is a common example.

The inside of a lemon represents radial symmetry. Each segment of the lemon is evenly distributed by the lines.

Fermentation is the process in which grape juice is joined with other ingredients resulting in a chemical reaction that produces wine.

  1. Good work! I love the fermenting grapes!!

    A few clarifications:
    1. The palm leaf is technically not a frond. Fronds are the leaves of ferns.

    2. A flower is NOT an organism. A flower is the reproductive structure of a plant. The plant is the organism. Also the organism "produces" ATP; it does not "go through" ATP. ATP is a chemical not a process.
