Ashley's Collected Items Part II

Fruit (Fleshy with Seed) -- These blueberries are quite fresh and contain visible seeds.

Gastropod -- A very large class of Snails.



Lichen -- Solid Fungus/Moss that can be found on trees (that's my warped tour ticket.)


Woody Stem -- Thick to help protect the plant growth and circulation. (I didn't have an object, but I took this picture in Jamaica if that helps.)


Xylem and Phloem -- Xylem transports water throughout the plant, and Phloem carries the nutrients.



Adaptation of A Plant (2 pictures below) -- There is an adaptation in Ivy that allows it to "climb over" or through other objects, such as this dog-proof net my mom put up.





Animal with a Segmented Body -- This could be an arthropod, but I don't know spiders too well. It seems to have two segments of its body with legs attached to each one separately.





Conifer Leaf -- Often resembles needle-like shards.





Deciduous Leaf -- Part of a tree that loses all of its leaves annually.

AP Bio- Collected Pictures #1

Pollen: Pollen is found on the stamens of flowers.
Thorn of a plant: Rose bushes have thorns on their stems.
Fruit- Fleshy with seed: Blueberries.
Xylem: The xylem of a plant is found throughout the stem.
Insect: The Armadillium Vulgare is an insect commonly known as the "Roly-Poly."

Adaptation of a Plant: The plant grew crookedly to move into a sunnier area. It adapted to its environment to grow better.

Adaptation of an Animal: The dog sheds its hevaier "winter coat" to maintain homeostasis in hotter temperatures.
Exoskeleton: Ants have exoskeletons.
Autotroph: Grass is one example of an autotroph.
Cuticle Layer: The cuticle layer of a leaf is the top layer.
