Transcript of Summer Pictures pt.2
Autotroph
• An autotroph is any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria.
Stigma
• The receptive apex of the pistil of a flower, on which pollen is deposited at pollination.
Style
• The usually slender part of a pistil, situated between the ovary and the stigma.
Tendril
• A tendril is a threadlike, leafless organ of climbing plants, often growing in spiral form, which attaches itself to or twines round some other body, so as to support the plant.
Heterotroph
• A heterotroph is an organism requiring organic compounds for its principal source of food.
Detritivore
• A is detritivore is an organism that feeds on and breaks down dead plant or animal matter, returning essential nutrients to the ecosystem.
Radial Symmetry
• Radial symmetry is a basic body plan in which the organism can be divided into similar halves by passing a plane at any angle along a central axis.
Dicot
• A dicot is an angiosperm that is not a monocotyledon, having two cotyledons in the seed. The term dicotyledon serves as a convenient label for the eudicotyledons, the magnoliids, and a varied group of other angiosperms, but it does not correspond to a single taxonomic group.
Arthropod
• An arthrpod is any invertebrate of the phylum Arthropoda, having a segmented body, jointed limbs, and usually a chitinous shell that undergoes moltings, including the insects, spiders and other arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods.
Coniferophyta
• A coniferophyta is any cone-bearing gymnosperms dating from the Carboniferous period; most are substantial trees; includes the classes Pinopsida.
Xerophyte
• An xerophyte is a plant adapted for growth under dry conditions.
