                                                         Bilateral symmetry
This is the perfect example of bilateral symmetry because the definition of bilateral symmetry is the property of being divisible into symmetrical halves. Also as you can see that this leaf has a line that divides both sides, and they can be easily divided in half which makes it become a good example of Bilateral symmetry.

                                                              Connective Tissue
My sisters ear is an example of connective tissue because the definition of connective tissue is tissue that connects,supports,binds, or seperate other tissues or organs. Plus the humans ear is a huge example of connective tissue because it is connected to so many other tissues in the humans head.

                                          Auxin producing area of a plant
The Auxin producing area of a plant is basically the plant bud, auxin is a hormone that is made by plants,specifically in areas where a new root is growing. This is where this plant originally sprung up from.

                                                               Coevolution
This is a perfect example of coevolution, because coevolution is when both sides positively benefits from each other. For example bees pollinate plants for it to survive and then the bees positively benefits from the pollination of the plants. So they basically depend on eachother for their own survival.

                                                  Modified stem of a plant
This just shows the stem of a plant that i dug up from outside. This is just to show what a modified stem of this plant looks like. Hopefully this picture is clear enough for you to see the stem of this plant.

                                                                Hydrophobic
In this picture is just a pot filled with oil, then i poured some water in there, and this is the result i received. You can see that the oil is hydrophobic because as you can see the oil repels from the water,and they dont mix at all. Which is why the oil is Hydrophobic.

                                                           Homeostasis
This is a perfect example of homeostasis. The definition of homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium. This is one way the body actually gets back to that stable equilibrium. I took this picture after a little workout that i did and whats going on is that since i was working out so much my body began to over heat, and to get my body back to its normal temperature my skin began to respirate and i start to sweat and this is how the body cools down to get back to its normal state.

                                                         Adaptation of a plant
This shows the adaptation of a plant because i happened to notice this plant outside, and it seemed to be growing vastly, i had never seen these plants before so i figured that someone may have planted them or they grew back up from the roots after being cut. Since there were now large amounts of these plants growing you can really tell that it began to adapt to its environment around it, and it began to reproduce more.


  

                                                                    Eukaryote
This is a good example of a eukaryote because an eukaryote is an oganism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA. Plus we know that plants reproduce asexually but they do contain DNA, which they pass on to their other plants and trees as well. Prime examples of Eukaryotes are humans, animals, plants fungi etc.

Amniotic Eggs

 

These are chicken eggs that i have in my refrigerator which are good examples of  amniotic eggs because animals such as chickens and birds, reproduce and give birth by laying amniotic egss, which contains yolk to basically nurture them.

 

                                               Anther & filament of stamen
This was a picture that we took before going to the arboretum, where i was able to catch a quick photo of anthers,in this photo it has the stamen that consists of the anther, and the filament. Also the anther produces the pollen, and the filament provides support to the anthers.

                                               Enzyme
After doing some research on types of enzymes, my research proved that milk had enzymes in it. They are called milk enzymes that make up the milk itself. These enzymes i believe dont help with digestion, but my research said that milk does indeed contain enzymes.

                                                        Asexual Reproduction
                       This is Asexual reproduction because that day when we took the trip to the arboretum, i happened to notice the pollen laying on the ground, and i asked beth if this would be a type of reproduction because they look like seeds. I was correct that is how they reproduce on its own so this is considered Asexual Reproduction.

                                                                    Parasitism
                    This is an example of parasitism because, when i was observing this plant i happened to notice that it had some holes in it. I came up with a fast conclusion that this plant must have had predators. So these holes in the plant were probably from a predator that eats it which leaves those marks after they feed on the plant.

                                                                  Population
                  This photo is an example of population, because while i was in the cafeteria i happened to notice a population of hungry ants feeding on a piece of muffin that had fell on the gound. Then you could of infered that they were probably family that went out to find something to eat. This is considered a population.
