Liz 23-30




23-The fly is an example of an ectotherm. An ectotherm is an animal such as a reptile, fish or amphibian, whose body is regulated by their behavior or their surroundings.









24-The granola is an example of glycogen. Glycogen is a complex branched of polysaccharides that serve as a food reserve in animals, bacteria and fungi.










25-The tomato is a gibberellin. Gibberellin is one of numerous plant hormones that promote stem elongation.













26-Rice is a C3 plant. In the photosynthesis of this plant,phosphoglycerat is produced.













27-Lettuce is a long day plant. Lettuce requires light for a longer period than other plants so that is can flower.













28- Ethylene is contained within bananas. Its is a colorless and flammable gas that has a sweet, unpleasant odor and taste. Its is an agent that is used to improve the color of citrus fruits.












29-Adaptation of a plant: The orange is covered by a layer of skin that is used to protect it from insects during its development.
















30- This is an example of bilateral symmetry. The stem cuts the leaf in half and both sides of it are exactly the same

  1. Good work, Liz, but you have some of these incorrect:

    1. Granola is NOT an example of glycogen. Look that one up again!

    2. The tomato is NOT a gibberellin. As you state later gibberellins are plant hormones, so they are chemicals. A tomato is a structure -- it happens to a fruit.

  3. I started late and I was not able to get the other 20. I'm sorry, there is really no excuse.
