43)Phloem: Phloem is found in the last layer of the bark on a tree. It carries organic nutrients to parts of the plant or tree that need it.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

41&42)Seed Dispersal: Seed dispersal is when seeds are transferred to different areas on the earth to germinate. This can be done by the wind and by squirrels. The first picture is of the wind blowing a flag and the second is of a squirrel.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

39&40) Animals with a Segmented Body: An animal with a segmented body has different segmented parts such as in a lobster and fish.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

37&38)Bilateral Symmetry: Bilateral symmetry is when the left and right sides of an organism can be divided into approximate mirror images of each other along the middle. The leaf and the hamster both have this symmetry.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

35&36)Long Day Plants: A long day plant is a plant that flowers only after being exposed to light periods longer than a certain critical length, such as summer. Potatoes and lettuce are examples of long day plants.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

33&34)Short Day Plants: A short day plant is a plant that flowers only after being exposed to light periods shorter than a certain critical length, as in early spring or fall. Strawberry plants and soybean plants are short day plants. The first picture is crushed soybeans and the second is strawberries.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

32)Cambium: The cambium is a layer of tissue in plants or in this picture, trees. It contains the xylem and the phloem. It is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

31)Territorial Behavior: My dog is smelling a pole to see if any other dog had already marked its territory. Dogs mark their territory with their urine.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

30)Homeostasis: Homeostasis is the maintaining of a stable internal environment. The person playing tennis is maintaining homeostasis by sweating to keep the body from overheating.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

1. 29)Exoskeleton: An exoskeleton is an external skeleton. The turtles shell is it's external skeleton.
   

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

28)Taxis: A taxi is a movement by an organism in response to a stimulus. This seagul got ontop of a car at splish splash because a person left food ontop of the car. The food is the stimuli and the bird moved toward the stimuli.

26&27)Kingdom: The Kingdom is the second most commonly used taxonomic category. Two types of kingdoms are plantae and animalia which are represented by these two pictures.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

25) Organisms in different phyla: The Phyla is a category in the lists of organisms. This sponge is a porifera in the Phyla.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

24)Different types of carbohydrates: One type of carbohydrate is cellulose which i showed with the piece of paper.The celery in the picture is also an example of a cellulose carbohydrate.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

23)Different types of carbohydrates(2): Another type of carbohydrate is called cellulose. This peice of paper is an example of cellulose.

Scavenger Huunt Assignment #4

22)Different types of carbohydrates(1): 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 ratio of approximately 2:1.This picture of a sweet potatoe is an example of a starch or glycogen carbohydrate.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

21)Epithelial Tissue(2): Another type of this tissue is the squamous epithelium. This tissue lines several organs and as shown in the picture, lines the cavity of the mouth.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

20)Epithelial Tissue(1): A type of this tissue is Stratified Epithelium which is two or more cells thick. An example of this is skin.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

19)Endosperm: An endosperm is the tissue produced in the seeds of most flowering plants. This is a picture of sunflower seeds.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

18)Connective Tissue(2):Another supportive connective tissue is bones. This is a picture of a chicken bone.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

17) Connective Tissue(1): Connective tissue is one of four tissues in the body. A type of connective tissue is supportive connective tissue. This includes cartilage. The picture is of my dads ear which is made of cartilage.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

16)Fermentation(2): Another type of fermentation is called lactic acid fermentation. When a muscle is being used such as the calves in this picture, lactic acid builds up in the muscles which is what makes the muscles feel "sore".

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

15)Fermentation(1): Fermentation is the enzyme catalyzed extraction of energy from organic compounds without the involvement of oxygen. The type of fermentation shown by this bottle of wine is called alcohol fermentation.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

14)Lipids used for energy storage(2):The subunit of an energy storing lipid is glycerol and three fatty acids. These are fats. This bar of soap is another example of a lipid used for energy storage.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

13)Lipids used for energy storage(1): Lipids are nonpolar, organic molecules that are insoluble in water. This is a picture of butter and this is an example of a lipid used for energy storage.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

12)Ectotherm: Another ectotherm besides my turtle is a snake. I took a picture of this snake in Petsmart. This snake's body temperature is affected by the outside environment which makes it an ectotherm.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

11)Predation: Predation is the cosuming of one organism by another. This is a picture of my turtle chasing a fish. Both of them were moving so quick that it was difficult to get an accurate photo. The fish is the prey and my turtle is the predator.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

10)Pollinator: It's kind of difficult to see but in the picture is a bird. This bird is a pollinator because as it flies it carries pollen from plants to different areas in the environment.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

9)Homologous Structures: Homologous structures are two structures that developed from a common ancestor but may have different functions. This is a picture of a bird in petco and a picture of my arm. They developed from a common ancestor even though they have differnt functions.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

8)Heterotroph: A heterotroph is an organism that can't get energy by means of photosynthesis or by the sun. This is a picture of a fish in Petco and this is a heterotroph because it can not create it's own food like a plant.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

7)Fronds: Fronds are leaves with several divisions to it. This plant in my front yard is an example of a frond. The leaves that come out of the plant have several differnt divisions to it.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

6)Endotherm- An endotherm is an organism that is capable of maintaining a constant body temperature. This is a picture of my dog. He is an endotherm because he maintains a constant body temperature.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

5)Autotroph- An autotroph is an organism that is able to build all the complex organic molecules that it requires as it's own food source. This plant is an autotroph because it produces it's food from sun light and water through the a process of photosynthesis.

Scavenger Hunt Assignment #4

4)Enzyme: An Enzyme is a protein that can speed up a chemical reaction. They act as catalysts. This picture of my dog rocky shows enzymes at work. The redish orange color around his mouth and near his nose is because of an enzyme. In my dogs saliva is a specific enzyme. This enzyme changes the color of his fur.

3)Cuticle: The cuticle is the fatty or waxy, noncellular layer on the outer wall of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of the plant which is usually seen and the cuticle is a layer that covers the epidermis.

2)Ectotherm: Ectotherms are animals whose body temperature is affected by the temperature in their environment or by their behavior. Usually the animals are reptiles or anphibians. This is a picture of my turtle. He is a ectotherm because his body temperature is affected by the temperature around him.
