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 reptiles, birds, amphibians, 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.

Fruit - Fleshy with Seeds

Strawberries

Fleshy fruits are fruits that have a flesh between the seeds and the skin. When you eat a fleshy fruit, you consume the flesh rather than the seeds. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, and tomatoes are all fleshy fruits.

Eukaryote

Bamboo Sharks

A eukaryote is an organism with cells containing a nucleus and other organelles enclosed in membranes. Plants, animals, and various other organism are eukaryotes.

Ethylene

Tomatoes

Ethylene is a small, naturally occurring hydrocarbon, but it can also occur as a result of combustion and other processes. You can't see or smell it. Fruit will produce ethylene when they begin to ripening.

Deciduous Leaf

Maple Leaf

Deciduous is used to refer to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally and to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals. Usually in fall, the leaves of these plants with turn red, orange, and yellow before they fall off, and then they will be regrown in spring.

Connective Tissue

Skin

Connective tissue is one of the four types of biological tissue that supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. This type of tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body.

Conifer Leaf

Pine Needles

A conifer is a type of plant that produces evergreen needles and cones. Unlike deciduous trees, they do not lose their leaves in the fall and stay green all year round. The cones produces by conifers carry the pollen and seeds used for reproduction. 

Chlorophyta

Green Algae

Chlorophyta is a division of green algae and sea weed. It can be unicellular, multi-cellular, colonial, or coenocytic. Like other green plants, Chlorophyta contain chlorophylls a and b, although the major pigment is chlorophyll b. They have adapted to both fresh and salt water.

Cambium

Tree Trunk

Cambium is a layer of actively dividing cells between xylem (wood) and phloem (bast) tissues that is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots. It is found in trees right underneath the bark. 

Basidiomycete

Mushrooms

Basidiomycetes, also known as club fungi, include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi. The key characteristic of these fungi is the basidium, their spore-producing structure. This basidium has a club-shape, which explains why basidomycetes are nicknamed “club fungi.”

Angiosperm

Flowers

Angiosperms are seed-producing plants with characteristics including flowers, endosperms within seed, and the production of fruits that contain seed. These characteristics make angiosperms the most diverse and numerous land plants.

Amniotic Egg

Chicken Egg

An amniotic egg of reptiles and birds has a tough outer-shell that protects the fetus from predators, pathogens, damage, and drying. There are four sacs inside the egg for the chorion, amnion, allantois, and yolk.

Pollen

Anthers of a Flower

Pollen is power produces by plants containing gametophytes of seeds often found on the anthers of flowering plants. Each grain contains a male gamete that is transported to fertilize the female ovule either by the wind, insects, or other animals.

Tendril of a Plant

Pumpkins

A tendril is a specialized stem or leaf for climbing plants that grows in spiral form. They stretched out and wrap around anything they can reach to support the plant. Pumpkins have tendrils that grow out of their stems and may also produce leaves.
