This is the item I will use. It is a watch so the date is on it. (Top right corner)

This is a plant which makes it's own food by utilizing energy from the sun, instead of consuming other organisms.

This ant has 3 segments to its body. A head, thorax, and abdomen.

This tree bark is an example a cell wall which works to keep the plant strong and rigid.

Humans store unused energy as lipids or fat on their body for later use.

This rolly-polly uses it's exoskeleton (shell) as protection.

This rolly-polly is also an excellent example of an arthropod. It's shell like exoskeleton is one of its key defining characteristics.

This close up of a leaf shows it's waxy covering that acts as protection for the plant against in climate weather conditions. This covering is called the cuticle.

This tree, as with most trees possess a stem composed of wood.

This is my dog. Like a parasite he feeds off of my resources, in this case time, energy and food. This relationship benefits him, and harms me.

This plant has leaves with a large surface area to absorb the most sunlight possible.

This mushroom is an example of a fungi. It contains spores which play a key part in its reproduction.

This is a refrigerator. Through an endothermic reaction of sorts where heat is absorbed and cool air is released the inside if a refrigerator is able to stay quite cold.

This is a deciduous leaf, meaning it seasonally grows and then falls off.

The yeast in this beer ferments as a result as the sugar present in the wheat and produces alcohol in a process called alcoholic fermentation.

This tree contains conifer leaves. Conifer leaves stay on the tree year round regardless of season. Trees like this also produce cones which aid in reproduction of the tree.

By eating food such as potato bread, we store energy in our muscles and liver as glycogen.

Gibberellins is a class of plant hormone that stimulate growth in leaves and stems as well as the development of fruit such as these blueberries pictures.

This is a container of sugar, which came from a sugar cane plant. Sugar cane is an example a c4 plant meaning that inside the plant, before the Calvin cycle occurs, Co2 is incorporated into a 4 carbon molecule that has an end product of Co2 that can be used for the Calvin cycle.

These teddy grahams are food for humans which contain carbohydrates. The end product of the Calvin Cycle is carbohydrates which the plants can use as energy.

This is my mom. She lives in our house and speeds up the rate in which things are accomplished such as chores and work in general. This is much like am enzyme which speeds up reactions.

This peanut butter is composed primarily of peanuts. Peanuts are a fruit that is dry with seeds.

This is a bowl of blueberries. Blueberries, as with all berries are fleshy with seeds.

When people see my arms they assume that I was genetically modified with lower levels of myostatin as they are so muscular. This has been done with certain breeds of cow to produce more meat.

These fish have a 2 chambered heart composed of a single atrium and ventricle. They also have scales all over their body which is hard to see due to their size.

This plant has thorns present on its stem. The purpose of which is to deter animals from physically eating or harming it.

The curly brown cord-like material is the tendril of the plant. Climbing plants such as this use it as support as it gets taller.

Growing in this tree is a white fungus and a green alga living in symbiosis. This is known as a lichen.

The white blip in the upper middle of the screen on the pool wall is a butterfly. This butterfly is a pollinator. It goes from plant to plant picking up pollen and then pollinating the next plant it touches

This is a female pine cone. It is much larger than its male counterpart. It is usually higher up in the tree to avoid self pollination. It contains ovaries which can become pollinated by the pollen produced in the male pinecones.

This is a grasshopper. It has all of an insects defining qualities such as: being 6-legged, having a head thorax and abdomen, and have an exoskeleton.

We humans are an animal that has evolved and adapted to have opposable thumbs. These opposable thumbs have helped us survive as we could craft weapons and shelter.

Pictured here is moss. Bryophyte is simply just another name for a moss, liverwort, or hornwort.

This is a picture of an artificially made plastic representation of a plant with frond type leaves. Frond means the leaf has many divisions.

In the middle of the flower is the stigma. At the base of the stigma is where the flower ovary is. The ovary is what contains the ovules which is what become fertile seeds.

Surrounding the stigma are stamen. These produce pollen which pollinators will pick up and then take to another flower. Some pollen will reach the stigma and then travel down to the ovaries where it will pollinate the flower.

Pictured here is my finger nail. Keratin is a key component in nails. It also makes up our outer layer of skin and our hair.

This stem has thorns all over it. This is suspected to be a modified stem of a plant because it is believed that these thorns evolved over time for defensive purposes.

This plant has tendrils on it. The tendrils move and modify themselves to best fit it's environment and provide support to the plant. This is why tendrils are considered to be a modified leaf of a plant.

Flowers function similarly to a hermaphrodite in the fact that they have both male parts (stamen) and female parts (stigma with ovary).

This grasshopper is an arthropod therefore it has an exoskeleton. All arthropod's exoskeletons are composed of chitin. Chitin consists of amino sugar monomers.

In the center of the flower there is a part that is significantly longer than the other parts. This is the carpel. The carpel is composed of the stigma and style. The stigma is the sticky bulb on top which traps pollen and the style is what it's attached to.

This Russian lady and a British soldier gave birth to Han Solo. Han Solo is composed of diploid cells, meaning each cell has 2 sets of chromosomes, 1 from each parent. For humans the diploid chromosome number is 46, as you receive a set of 23 chromosomes from each parent. The formula to represent that is written 2n=46.

This is an earth worm. It falls under the phylum of Annelida which encompasses segmented worms.

Plants produce a hormone called auxin which stimulates growth. A large amount of this hormone is found in developing bulbs. Humans don't have such bulbs, so to grow we must sleep like my brother is doing here.

This is a cucumber floating in water to represent a sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers fall under the phylum Echinodermata. 2 key characteristics of Echinoderms is that they are aquatic and have radial symmetry.

This fan exhibits radial symmetry. Radial symmetry is defined as having multiple parts extending from one central point.

This is a bag of spinach. Spinach is a long day plant. A long day plant only flowers after being exposed to sun during the day for a certain amount of time.

This is a sponge. (Not the animal) it falls under the phylum of Porifera. Poriferans are commonly known as sponges. Poriferans are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores to allow water to pass through them.

These are water pipes in my house. These pipes bring water up and take it to the rest of the house much like xylem, composing of tubular dead cells, takes water from the roots and then brings it up to the rest of the plant.

The stamen are the 10 little things sticking up around the stigma in the center. It is composed of 2 parts the anther and the filament. The filament is a small stem that holds it up and the anther is where the pollen is actually held. It is attached to the end or center of the filament.
