1. Amniotic egg- The type of egg produced by reptiles, birds, and egg-laying mammals in which the embryo develops . The shell of the egg is either calcium-based or leathery. This is a picture of a chicken egg which is an example of an amniotic egg.
2. C3 PLANT -
Plants that fix carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by the Calvin Benson cycle. C3 plants must however be in areas where CO2 concentration is high, temperature and light intensity are moderate, and ground water is abundant. Rice is an example of a c3 plant 
4. Pollen – pollen is the fine spores or powder like substance produced in the anther of a flower. This is a picture of a flower outside my house
5. Rhizome - this is a picture of a ginger which is an example of a rhizome . A rhizome is a horizontal underground stem which can send out both shoots and roots.
6. Xylem - xylem is the woody part of the plants that supports and transports water to the plant. It consists of mainly vessels and tracheids. This is a picture of a plant in my front yard.
7. Cambium - cambium is a layer of living cells, between the bark and hardwood, that each year produces additional wood and bark cells. This layer is responsible for the diameter growth of a tree.
8. Epithelial tissue - epithelial tissue is the membranous tissue covering the internal organs and the surface of the body. It is our skin . This is a picture of my brother’s skin which is an example of epithelial tissue
9. Cuticle layer of a plant - A thin waxy, protective layer covering the surface of the leaves and stems of plants. This is a picture of leaf that shows the waxy cuticle layer.
10. And 11. Oragnisms in different kingdom
The monkeys in the picture belongs to the animal kingdom and the plants belongs to the plant kingdom. Living organisms are divided into 6 kingdoms .The characteristics that makes animals unique are they are eukaryotic and multicultural unlike bacteria and protists. They are different from plants also because they lack rigid cell walls. The picture of the variety of plants was taken at my aunt‘s house in Germany. The picture of the monkeys were taken at the zoo in Germany.
12. Flower ovary - In flowering plants, the part of the flower which encloses the ovules. When the ovary matures, it becomes the fruit. This is a picture of my Begonia plant.
13. Eukaryote - a eukaryote is a cell or an oragnism that has a clearly defined nucleus. Almost all large organism like animals, plants and fungi are eukaryotes. This iguana is an example of an organism with a clearly defined nucleus. This picture was taken at the zoo in Germany.
14. Fermentation - fermentation is the an anaerobic process in which organic foods are converted into simpler compounds and chemical energy is produced. Yogurt is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. It is fermentation of lactose into lactic acid that gives yogurt its gel like texture.
15. Fermentation - fermentation of wine is the process by where the grape juice is joined by other ingredients resulting in a chemical reaction that produces wine. During fermentation the yeast interact with the sugars in the grape juice to create ethanol and carbon dioxide.
16. Enzyme -
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up the rate of a reaction between substances without themselves being consumed in the reaction. Most are proteins. This is a picture of my brother‘s tongue. Enzymes like amylase and lysozyme are found in the saliva . It initiates the breakdown of starch into simpler units.
17. Connective tissue - connective tissue is made up of fibers forming a framework and support structure for body tissues and organs. Connective tissue surrounds many organs. Cartilage and bone are specialized forms of connective tissue. This is picture of my brother’s arm which is made up of bones , a type of connective tissue.
18 . Dominant vs. recessive phenotype
A phenotype is any observable characteristic or trait of an organism.
My black hair is a dominant phenotype as it is a physical characteristic of the dominant allele in my genetic makeup.
19. Ethylene - Ethylene , unlike the rest of the plant hormone compounds is a gaseous hormone. This hormone is responsible for the ripening of fruits. Ethylene gas diffues easily through the air from one plant to another. Shown here is a picture of ripened bananas.
20. Homologous structures- homologous structures are characteristics which are shared by related species because they have been inherited in some way from a common ancestor. The bones in a human arm is homologous to the bones in a chimpanzee arm. Shown here is a picture of chimpanzee taken at the zoo in Germany and a picture of my arm.
21. Glycogen -
Glycogen is the storage form in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and muscles. The glucose that is not used immediately for metabolism to make energy is converted in the liver and muscles into glycogen for storage. Shown here is a picture of a cereal bar that contains glucose .
22. Meristem - Meristem is the region of cells capable of division and growth in plants as the tip of a stem or root. Shown here is the stem of my plant.
23. Adaptation of a plant - plants have adaptations to help them survive in different areas. Adaptations are special features that help plants or animals to live in a particular habitat. this plant’s stem grew sideways toward the sunlight as it was essential for survival .
24. Ectotherm - ectotherm is a cold blooded animal which regulates its body temperature by exchanging heat with its surroundings. Shown here is a picture of a turtle an ectotherm taken at the zoo in Germany.
25. Exoskeleton - exoskeleton is a hard external protective and supportive structure or shell of many animals. Shown here is a picture of clams which has a hard external shell.
Really great work Sharon!
ReplyDeleteYou explained the relationship between glycogen and glucose well!
But exoskeleton and shell are distinct -- they are on different creatures and made of different compounds. Think insects when you think exoskeleton.
Again, excellent work! Just what I was looking for.
