 7/15-7/21 A picture of a flowering plant. This is an example of the auxin producing area of a plant. Auxin helps a plant grow by stimulating various functions of the plant.

 7/15-7/21 A picture of a tree trunk. This shows the cambium layer of the tree. The cambium layer produces more phloem and xylem layers in a plant.

 7/15-7/21 A picture of an tree leaf. This is an example of cellulose which is found within the cell wall of any plant.

7/15-7/21 A picture of a stem of a plant. This is an example of a modified stem of a plant. The stem modified to have thorns as a form of protection.

7/15-7/21 A picture of dying plants. This is an example of fermentation. Fermentation occurs when plant matter decays by yeast and bacteria to form carbon dioxide and alcohol.

 7/15-7/21 A picture of a Monarch Butterfly. This is an example of aposematic coloring. Aposematic coloring shows predators that the prey is distasteful or poisonous.

 7/22-7/28 A picture of a bird. This is an example of an endotherm, which is a warm-blooded animal.

  7/22-7/28 A picture of a a hand. This is an example of connective tissues which is inside the body keeping muscle and bone connected.

  7/22-7/28 A picture of a moth. This is an example of bilateral symmetry as most moths and butterflies are symmetrical.

  7/22-7/28 A picture of a snake. This is an example of an ectotherm, which is a cold-blooded animal.

 7/22-7/28 A picture of a wet plant. This is an example of adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion happens when water sticks onto anything solid and cohesion happens when water sticks to water.

 7/29-8/4 A picture of a black bumble bee and a flower. This is an example of mutualism as the bee gets pollen and the flower gets pollinated. 

  7/29-8/4 A picture of a type of aloe vera plant. This is an example of tropism as the plant is growing on the side with the most sunlight.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of plant. This is an example of homeostasis as the plant is completely regulated.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of a palm tree. This is an example of a frond. A frond is a leaf that is divided to create many other leaves.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of aphids on a plant. They show an example of parasitism as they benefit from the plant while the plant suffers loss of fluids.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of a grape plant. This is an example of a C3 plant. A C3 plant uses C3 to help convert CO2 into compounds.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of crab grass. This is an example of a C4 plant. A C4 plant turns CO2 into C4 before it goes through the Calvin cycle.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of a fruiting plant. This is an example of ethylene. Ethylene is an airborne plant hormone that helps stimulate growth.

  7/29-8/4 A picture of acorns. This is an example of an endosperm. An endosperm is a tissue within the seed that carries nutrients for the embryo.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a worm. This is an example of a coelomate. A coelomate is an organism that has a coelom, which is a fluid filled sac in the organism's body.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of cactus flower. This is an example of a stigma and style of carpel. The stigma is where pollen goes to fertilize the flower.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a snail shell. This is an example of chitin. Chitin is found within the snail shell and also in crab shells and exoskeletons.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a snail. This is an example of a hermaphrodite. A hermaphrodite is an organism that has male and female reproductive organs.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a scorpion. This is an example of a r-strategist. An r-strategist will have small offspring but lots of them and a scorpion can have up to 90 small offspring.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a plant. This shows an example of a hydrophobic plant. When an organism is hydrophobic, it will be resistant to water.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a plant. This is an example of a hydrophilic plant. When an organism is hydrophilic, it will absorb water quickly.

 8/5-8/11A picture of a weed. This is an example of a meristem. Meristem cells help a plant grow upwards or downwards.

 8/5-8/11 A picture of a tree trunk. This is an example the xylem layer of a tree. The xylem layer helps move water throughout a plant.
