Xerophyte

Cactus

A xerophyte is a plant that has adapted to live in a climate that has little water such as a desert or tundra. A cactus has the ability to go long periods without water and can store it inside of them and save it for when the plant needs it.

Pollinator

Honey Bee

A pollinator is an organism that moves pollen from the male anthers the female stigma to accomplish fertilization of the female gametes in the ovule of the flower by the male gametes from the pollen. Bee accomplish this when they collect flower nectar to create honey.

Long Day Plant

Lettuce

A long day plant is one that flowers only after being exposed to sunlight longer than a certain critical length, as in summer. These types of plants are normally planted in late spring and and grown throughout the summer.

K Strategist

Giraffe

K strategist are animals that usually have few offspring at a time. Larger animals that have a long life span and late maturity often follow this type reproduction method. Unlike r strategist, they can reproduce multiple times because they are expected to live long enough to be able to.

Endotherms

Snow Leopards

Endotherms are animals that maintain their body at a constant, warm temperature. Mammals and birds are endoterms.

Ectotherms

Anaconda

Ectoterms are animals that depend on outside sources for body heat such sunlight and water temperature. Reptiles, amphibians, insects, and fish are ectoterms.

Echinoderm

Starfish

Echinderms are a species of marine animals know for their radial symmetry. They can regenerate tissue, organs, limbs, and reproduce asexually. A starfish is classified as an echinderm because of it's star shape and ability to regrow limbs.

Dicot Plant with Flower and Leaf

Hibiscus

A dicot plant are flowering plants that have seeds with two cotyledons and flowers with four or five petals each. The veins on the leaves of these plants are organized in networks. A hibiscus flowers follows all the conditions to be a dicot plant.

Cuticle Layer of a Plant

Leaves

The cuticle layer of a plant is the waterproof protective layer on leaves that covers epidermal cells and prevents water from escaping. It consists of cutin, a waxy, water-repellent substance, that also makes up the skin of many types of fruit.

Cnidarian

Coral

Cnidarians are marine organisms with bodies made out of mesoglea, a non-living jelly-like substance, and specialized cells that help them capture their prey. Each coral polyp consists of a sac-like animal only a few millimeters in diameter and a few centimeters in length with a set of tentacles surround a mouth opening.

Cellulose

Cell Wall

Cellulose is the compound that makes up the cell wall in plants. The bonds between each cellulose molecule are very strong, which makes it very hard to break down. Cellulose is found in every plant which is why it is the most abundant organic compound on earth.

Carbohydrate - Fibrous

Broccoli

Fibrous carbohydrates are carbohydrates that come from green vegetables. They are high in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. Unlike non-fibrous carbohydrates, they don't elevate your blood sugar levels and provide a lot of calories.

Calvin Cycle

Stroma of the Chloroplast

The Calvin Cycle is the light independent reaction of photosynthesis that turns carbon dioxide into glucose. There are three phases: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast, which can be found in plants.

C4 Plant

Corn

A C4 plant first fixes CO2 into a compound containing four carbon atoms before entering the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. C4 plants have a better chance of surviving in environments consisting of high temperatures, intense sunlight, lack of rain, lack of nitrogen, or lack of CO2.

Bryophyte

Moss

Bryophates are plants without vascular tissue and are often referred to are "non-vascular plants". They do not produce flowers or seed, and they reproduce through spores.

Autotroph

Tree

An autotroph is an organism that produces organic compounds usually from light or inorganic chemical reactions. A tree uses photosynthesis to produce oxygen from carbon dioxide and energy from light.

Arthropod

Tarantula

An arthropod is an invertebrate with an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and joint legs.

Insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans are classified as arthropods.

Animal with a Segmented Body

Leaf-Cutter Ants

An animal that has repetitive divisions in it's body is segmented. A Leaf-cutter ant's body is separated into four different parts: it's head, torso, abdomon, and legs. 

Adaption of a Plant

Lily Pads

Lily pads are plants that have evolved the survive in water. They have flexible stems that move with water currents and restrict chlorophyll to the top pads because it's the only part of the plant that receives sunlight. 

Adaptation of an Animal

Polar Bear

Polar bears have specific adaptations that help them survive in the arctic. They have webbed paws for swimming, the ability to close their nostrils while underwater, and blubber to keep them warm in cold temperatures.
