Dear Ms Washington,

Hi Ms Washington! I hope you're having a fun and relaxing summer. I just finished with  collecting all my pictures.
This is my blog for the AP Biology collection. There's 20 pictures in all Enjoy!

deciduous leaf- This is a picture of a deciduous leaf. A deciduous leaf is a leaf that has already fallen off a tree. I found a tree and just looked under it and found them. They had already fallen off. My penny is there in the picture.

Angiosperm- Angiosperms are plants that flowers grow out of. This is an angiosperm plant.

 Cellulose- Cellulose provides the structure of the cell walls of green plants. It's a polysaccharide. That's why I took a picture of a green plant next to a wall with my football on the side.

Fleshy fruit with seed- Appleshave a core with seeds and are fleshy on the outside. Apples come out of one flower and have 5 carpels within its pistel.

Calvin Cycle- The Calvin Cycle is the cycle that takes place inside of the stroma of the chloroplasts of plants. This is a green plant and I know it has a chloroplst because they reflect green light. The Calvin Cycle takes carbon dioxide and water and turns it into organic compounds.

Abicisic acid- Abicisic acid is what helps plant buds build scales to help it survive the winter. That's why I took a picture of a plant bud.

K strategist- This organism is a K-strategist. K strategism is the way the organism competes successfully for limited resources and are slose to the maximum the environment can bear. They usually have large size and have long life expectancy.

Conifer leaf- Conifer leaves come from coniferss. Tey usually are long and thin and have a needle like apearence. This is a conifer leaf.

Carbohydrate-fibrous- This type of carbohydrate is a good source of phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals and come from green vegetables. This cabbage is a good source of fibrous carbohydrates.

 

Lignin- Lignin fills in the space in the cell wall in between the cellulose, helicellulose and pectin components. It's all the part of the cell wall of plants. This plant has lignin in its cell walls.

Endotherm-This bird is an endotherm. Endotherms can control their body temerature. Pigeons are endotherms.

Gymnosperm leaf- This is the same picture I used for conifer leaf. Gymnosperm plants have seeds that aren't found in fruits but they are seen outside the ovum like this plant here. Conifer plants are an example of gymnosperm plants.

Herbaceous stem - This is an interesting flower. But I want to focus on the stem. The stem has the flower. That's what a herbaceous stem is. They hold up flowers an leaves.

XEROPHYTE-This is a picture of a cactus. This plant is a xerophyte because it has adapted to life with minimum water.

Amniotic egg- I took a picture of this bird because the produce amniotic eggs.

Flower ovary- This flower has it's own flower ovary coming from its middle. It's the female reproductive organ.

Pollen-Pollen is a yellow powder that have plants have. Bees use this.

Phloem- The stem of the plant is what takes sugars and organic nutrients up through the plant. That's where the phloem is.

Autotroph-Plants that take up sunlight to produce its food is called autotroph. Plants are autotrophs.

That's it. I'm done.
