50] Glycogen: Glycogen is a stored from of glucose in animals and humans. Gylcogen is mainly stored in the liver and the muscles.

49] Amniotic egg: An amniotic egg has a shell that protects it from the environment as it develops. It only requires oxygen to develop.

48] Long day plant: A long day plant needs a few hours of darkness in order to flower and grow. Long day plants grow in the spring and summer because of the longer days.

47] Basidiomycete: A basidiomycete is a large group of fungi that are characterized by bearing spores on a basidium which is usually located on the top of the fungi.

46] Rhizome: A carrot is another example of a rhizome. The carrot itself grows underground and the leaf grows above ground. When they are done growing you pick them and eat them.

45] Rhizome: A rhizome is a horizontal stem that usually grows underground and sends out roots. An example of a rhizome is ginder. Ginder grows underground.Another name for a rhizome is rootstalk.

44] Frond: A frond is a plant that has leafs which are finely divided. They are usually found on certain palm trees.

Grouping 1] Different biomes

43] This picture was taken in Buffalo. Buffalo has a lot of tress and is very rocky.

42] I took this picture when I was driving through Pennsylvania. The landscaping is mountainous and has many tress.

41] Fermentation: The purpose of fermentation is to tern complex nutrients into a simple substance and it also breaks down plant structures. It changes sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol.

40] Cambium: Cambium is a thin tissue between the inner bark and the wood. It produces new phloem on the outside and new xylem on the inside in stems and roots. It also helps form the annual rings in the wood.

39] Mutualism: On a farm both a chicken and a farmer benefit from each other. Farmers benefits because they take the chickens eggs and eat them, and the chickens benefit because they are being fed and taken care of.

38] Modified stem of a plant: Some plant stems change to benefit the plant. Roses develop thorns on their stems because the thorns help the rose plant grab on to other plants and grow up towards the sun.

37] Gymnosperm cone: Another type of gymnosperm cone is a female cone. The picture shows an ovulate cone. The ovules are contained within the cone, when its fertilized by pollen, it becomes a seed.

36] Krebs cycle: Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle. Its living cells that use oxygen as part of respiration. Krebs cycle chemically changes carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to form a usable energy.

35] Population: Population is a number of people in an area. The picture shows the population of fish in the tank.

34] Seed dispersal: Another way seeds are dispersed is by animals. Seeds get caught in an animals fur and as the animal move around the seeds fall off their fur and get planted somewhere and grow.

33] Seed dispersal: Water is one way that seeds disperse. Seeds can fall in a river and the river could transport it somewhere else where the seed will eventually grow into a plant.

32] Gymnosperm leaf: Gymnosperm leafs usually grow on the tallest trees and have need like leafs. The seeds of the tress they grow on are hidden in cones and aren't visible.

31] Anther & filament of stamen: Usually bell flowers have their anther and filament sticking out from the flower. The filament is the long part that's coming out of the flower, and the anther is at the end of the filament.

30] Long day plant: An example of a long day plant is spinach. Long day plants need a certain number of hours in the dark to flower. They usually flower in the late spring or early summer.

29] Homologous structures: Homologous structures have the same structure or very similar structure but have different functions. Cats use their paws to clean themselves and walk, but humans use their hands to eat and write.

28] Gymnosperm cone: The cone above is a male cone. The ovules aren't inside the ovaries like most plants.

27] Flower ovary: After fertilization the ovule develops into a seed in the ovary. Sometimes the seed will develop into a fruit depending on the type of seed.

26] Gibberellins: Gibberellins are plant hormones that change the growth and development of a plant. It causes the plant tog grow flowers, it also causes germination ad can change the fruit on the plant.

Grouping 2] Different types of carbohydrates

25] Simple carbohydrates are another example of the different types of carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates consist of fruit and milk products. They are quickly metabolized and the body uses them to release energy.

24] An example of a carbohydrate is a complex carbohydrate. Complex carbohydrates consist of bread, rice, and pasta. Complex carbohydrates take longer to metabolize and digest.

23] Parasitism: Birds eat worms and bugs to survive. The bird in the picture is the parasite that is taking over the worms and bugs. The bird is benefiting because it gets food and nutrients, but the bugs and worms are being harmed because they're being killed and eaten.

22] Ectotherm: An ectotherm is usually a reptile, fish, or amphibian. Their body temperature is regulated by their behavior or by their surroundings.

21] Predation: Predation is when a predator feeds on its prey. The predator is the organism that's hunting and the prey is the organism that's being attacked. In the picture the predator is the bird and the prey is a worm or a bug.

20] Parasitism: Parasitism is usually an organism or parasite that takes over a host. Usually the parasite is much smaller then the host. In this picture the parasite is a mosquito and the host is a person. The mosquito stung someones arm.

19] Mullerian mimicry: The picture shows a duck and a seagull which are two species that are not closely related, but they share the same predator and copy each others warning signals. Some of their predators are foxes, eagles, owls, sharks, and snakes.

18] Littoral zone organism: Littoral zone organisms are aquatic platns that grow withina lake or a pond between dry land and water. They provide food for fish, frogs, birds, turtles, insects, and snails.

17] Lichen: Moss also grows underwater. They usually grow in damp or shady places and usually grow in clumps.

16] Lichen: An example of lichen is moss. In the picture the moss is protecting the tree from dying. Moss doesn't harm the tree. It grows very slowly over many years.

15] Succession: Before a flower blooms its first a seed. A flower blooming is a slow orderly progression of changes that takes place through time also known as succession. The structure of the seed changes from a seed to a flower.

14] Xylem: Xylem is found in vascular plants, whose main function is to absorb water and mineral nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant.

13] Taxis: The direction that the plant is growing is being affected by its environment. The flower is growing towards the left because that's where the sun is shinning and the plant needs the sun to survive.

12] Stigma & style of carpel:
Stigma: The area at the end of the style that is usually sticky so it can capture pollen grains.
Style of carpel: The pollen grains germinate and the pollen tube grows down the style transporting the nuclei towards the ovary.

11] R-strategist: R-strategists are species that are characterized by having rapid development rate and a high reproductive rate. IN the picture the fish have reproduced and the number of fish in the tank have increased.

10] Phloem: Phloem is a living tissue that carries nutrients and sugar to all the parts of the plant. In tress you'll find the phloem in the innermost layer of the bark.

9] Pollen: Pollen is produced by flowers. It develops seeds that help in pollination which is the spread of pollen.

8] Mutualism: This picture is an example of mutualism because it shows the spider using its web to catch other bugs to eat. The spider is benefiting because it has something to eat but the bugs that are being caught in the web are being harmed.

7] Exoskeleton: This is an animal i found near the beach. It's an example of an exoskeleton because it has a sshell that protects them from other creatures under the sea.

6] Exoskeleton: The picture above is the skin of a bug that has shed off. This is an example of a exoskeleton. An exoskeleton bug has a covering over them that they need for protection.

5] Heterotroph: This picture shows a bird which is a heterotroph because it can't produce its own food. Birds feed off of worms, bugs, and berries which they depend on for food.

4] Adaptation of a plant: This picture shows the adaptation of a plant. Plants need their roots to adsorb water and minerals for the plant, to hold the plant down and it also stores food for the plant.

3] Adaption of an animal: This picture shows the adaptation of birds. Birds build nests in trees to sleep in and lay their eggs in.

2] Adaption of a plant: The flowers in this picture are growing towards the sun. This shows the adaptation of a plant because a plant needs the sun to survive.

1] Adaption of an animal: This picture of an ant hole shows the adaptation of an ant. Ants adapt to their environment by digging tunels under the ground.
