Auxin Producing Area of a Plant

Stem Tip


Auxin is a plant hormone found in the stem that promotes leaf growth and phototropism, which is when a plant positions itself towards sunlight. It helps plants grow longer and get enough sunlight.

Thorn of a Plant

Rose


A thorn is a sharp appendage on the stem of plant. Its functions as protection again animals that may try to eat the plant or as shade and insulate for the plant.

R Strategist

Rabbits


R strategist are animals that usually have many offspring at a time. Smaller animals that have a short life span and early maturity often follow this type reproduction method. Unlike k strategist, normal don't reproduce multiple times in their live spans because they are not expected to live long enough to be able to.

Phloem

Vascular Plant Tissue 


Phloem is the living tissue in plants that conducts sugars downward from the leaves to other parts of the pant where it's needed. The phloem is concerned with the transportation of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis.

Keratin

Hair


Keratin is fibrous structural protein and the key structural component of hair, human skin, and nails. It assembles into bundles to form fibers that are tough and form strong tissues found in reptilesbirdsamphibians, and mammals.

Gymnosperm Cone

Pine Cone


A gymnosperm cone is produced by a conifer plant and is used for reproduction purposes. The female cones generate the seeds and the male cones produce the pollen. The males cones are positioned higher on the tree so that their pollen can fall down and fertalize the seed of the female cones.

Genetically Modified Organism

Cabbage


A genetically modified organism is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Cabbages has been modified with scorpion poison that kills caterpillars when they bite leaves, but the toxin is altered to be safe for humans.
