Primary Producer = 1ptA plant that gets energy directly from the sun.

Anthophyta = 1ptFlower-bearing plant

Coniferophyta = 1ptNeedle-like leaves

Plant Adaptation = 2ptThorns along edges of Leaves for protection

Dicot Flower = 1ptA flower found on the same stem as Dicot Leaves

Monocot Leaf = 1ptLinear Venation (they go straight, not out)

Dicot Leaf = 1pt(Foreground) Net Venation (out not straight)

Autotroph = 1ptAn organism that showed no sign of consuming other organisms, and it’s a plant, duh.

Arthropod = 1ptSegmented Appendages, and segmented body

Animal Adaptation = 2ptFrogs have developed large hind legs for far jumping. To reach higher/farther places for food and escape from predators

Mating Behavior in Animals = 2ptTwo mosquitoes joined together for reproduction

Insect = 1ptSix legs, segmented body

Pollution= 1ptCan harm animal

Destruction of Habitat = 2 ptDestroying animal habitats! Oh no!

Teritorial Behavior in Animals = 2pt The lizards were chasing each other and fighting

Defense Mechanism of Plant= 2ptsThe aloe plant has developed thorns that can hurt a predator

Defense Mechanism of Animal= 2ptsThe caterpillar’s red color and pointy needle-like things all around it’s body help to protect it from predators.

A parasite and a host= 2ptsThe green plant is attached to the large tree, but isn’t a part of the tree. It’s taking nutrients away from the tree.

Predator-prey relationship= 2 ptsThe man is holding the alligators food, the alligator (predator) eats the food (prey)

A Multiple Fruit= 1 ptStrawberries are considered a multiple fruit because it consists of many tiny individual fruits all embedded in the fleshy receptacle.

A Legume= 1 ptPeanuts are a common legume.

A Pome= 1 ptApples are among the most common of pome fruit.

A natural plant mutation= 2 ptsThe grapefruit is actually a natural mutation of the shaddock or pummelo; it originated somewhere in the West Indies.

A fruit= 1 ptBananas are a type of fruit!

A basidiomycote= 2 ptsMushrooms are part of basidimycota, they have spores .

A Grain= 1 ptRice is a grain, which is a small, hard, edible fruit that is harvested from grasses.

A Carnivore= 1 ptThe alligator strictly eats meat, and is strictly on a meat diet.

A Vegetable= 1 ptA cucumber is a vegetable.

A renewable resource= 1 ptWater is a renewable resource because it can’t get all used up before more is made.

Animal home= 1 ptThe alligator lives in the water behind it.

An animal larva or pupa= 1 ptThis is the larva stage of a butterfly.

A Decomposer= 1 ptFlies are decomposers (other picture is zoomed out but has personal item).

Animal tracks= 1 ptLooking closely, you can see the tracks made by the alligator.

Commensalism= 2 ptsThe alligator is the only benefactor in this human-alligator relationship

Biotic factor= 1 ptThe grass in the sand near the lake is holding the sand together, because of it’s roots, maintaining the enviroment

Primary Consumer= 1 ptThe primates in the trees consume plants, the second level of energy consumption

An invasive species= 1 ptThe banyan tree was brought to Florida by human means, it does not naturally exist here.

An organisms home= 1 ptThe primates live in the house behind it.

Abiotic Factor= 1 ptThe poles in the background were placed there by human means and affect the territory of the Alligator.

A mammal= 1 ptFur, lungs, 4-chambered heart, milk, live birth…DOGS ARE MAMMALS!

Herbivore= 1 ptGerbils are herbivores, they do not eat meat. They eat a variety of fruits and veggies!

An organism with bilateral symmetry= 1 ptThe primate is symmetrical from head to toe, and brain is in front of body

Natural protein= 2 ptsThe duck is an animal with muscle fibers, which require protein, meaning the duck is a natural source of protein.

Food Chain= 2 pts Zebra>grass>sunlight

Genetic variation within a population= 2 ptsThe difference in genes has caused one primate to have lighter fur than the other.

An example of secondary succession= 2 ptsThe bare rocks and dirt are being covered with lichens and small grasses

Angiosperm= 1 ptFlowering plant that isn’t conifers; have fruit, flowers

Population= 2 ptsA bunch of Madagascar “Palms” in the same geographical area

Secondary xylem growth= 2 ptsAdvanced stem on the middle tree.

Mutualism= 2 ptsBoth trees draw nutrients and share the nutrients amongst each other, otherwise one tree would have died.

An organism with a type 1 survivorship curve= 2ptsMost primates live through their younger years, and start to die later on in life.

Fern= 1 ptFlowerless and seedless vascular plant that has true roots.

An organism with a type 3 survivorship curve= 2 ptsThe faded fish. Fish lay thousands of eggs because they know that odds are, a lot of the children won’t survive.

Any order of insects= 2 ptsThe grasshopper is in the order Orthoptera.

A plant-like protist= 2 ptsAlgae is a type of plant-like protist.
