The flower has stamen in the center that hold the pollen. it is a fine coarse powder containing the seeds of the plant.The pollen is what is used to polinate other plants and grow more flowers.
Watermelon is a fleshy fruit with seeds.It's seeds are contained in the edible part of the fruit and only that part can be planted to grow more watermelon plants.
Poison Ivy has adaptations because it's leaves secrete toxins when the epidermis is broken that cause extreme itchyness. This is to prevent folliage by animals or insects.
Walnuts are an example of a dry fruit with seeds. The walnuts themselves are the seeds and they could be planted to grow more walnut trees.
This flower has a herbaceous stem. This is a stem common to grasses, flowers, and most ferns. It is not permanent and it goes away in the winter and comes back in the spring every year.
This is a picture of a branch of a pine tree. The fact that it has needles instead of leaves is a modification of the leaves. They have needles instead to protect themselves from things such as drought or insects.
These arn thorns on a blackberry bush. The thorns are thought to have orginally developed for defensive purposes to prevent the consiming of the plant by animals. The thorns are also a type of a modified stem for this plant because normal stems don't grow thorns, only ones that need to modify themselves to survive.
This is a tree with a woody stem, the most common example. A woody stem is permanent unlike a herbaceous stem. It doesn't go away in the winter, and to be considered a woodt stem it has to have been growing for 2 or more years.
This is a decidous leaf. It will change to a red or yellow color in the fall and it will fall off the tree in the winter. That's what makes decidous trees what they are, they shed their leaves before winter. This picture is a maple leaf.
This is just a picture of grass in my yard. Grass is an autotroph, it uses photosynthesis to produce energy in the foren of atp and then when consumers eat the grass they gain the energy from it. Autotrophs are also called primary producers.
This is a picture of moss that is growing in my backyard. it is considered a bryophyte. That means it's a land plant with no true vascular tissue.
This is a conifer leaf. A conifer is also sometimes called an evergreen tree. They do not lose their leaves during the winter like a decidious tree.
This flower is an example of an anigosperm, aka a flowering plant. This is the flower part of the plant. The flower is what sets it apart from the gymnosperm
Definitions Endosperm: The surrounding tissue that provides nourishment to the embryos of angiosperms (flowering plants). It is produced in plants around the time of fertilization. It is also an important soure of nourishment in the human diet. Meristem: Regions of cells capable of division and growth in plants. Meristem cells are analogous to stem cells in humans and animals. They allow for organs of the plants to grow and develop. Xylem: One of two types of transport tissue in a plant. It’s a vascular tissue in terrestrial plants. It's purpose is to transport water and some nutrients throughout the plant. Lignin: A chemical compound commonly derived from wood. It is the most abundant organic polymer, even more so than cellulose. It fills the spaces in the cell wall and plays a critical role in water movement in plant stems. Cellulose: An organic compound (C6H10O5) that is the primary structural component of cell walls. It is indigestible by humans who don’t contain the correct enzymes for it’s breakdown. Sporophyte: Produces haploid spores my meiosis. The spores grow into male or female gametophytes and those gametophytes produce haploid gametes. When both male and female gametes are fused together a diploid zygote is formed which grows into a new sporophyte. Actin: A globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells. It’s important in actions such as muscle contractions, cell division, cell signaling, and organelle movement because it’s part of the microfilaments of the cell. Pteridophyte: Vascular plants that don’t produce flowers of seeds. They only reproduce through spores. Gibberellins: Plant hormones that regulate their growth or developmental processes such as germination or flowering. Abscisic Acid: A plant hormone that is involved in many processes of development, such as bud dormancy. It also plays an important role in a plants responses to external stimuli.
