Corn plants- summer assignment: from seed to food!!

2 weeks of germination!







The corn plants! (45 days)

Biological Artifacts Part 2




The parenchyma cells which are present in the stems, leaves

and roots are used for the storage of food.















Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera (pore bearer).











Starfishes are animals of the phylum echinoderm.

Echinoderms possess pentaradial or five sided symmetry.











The human mouth contains saliva, in which amylase is found.











Adaptation of an animal: The shitz zu breed have long furry coats to

keep them warm.












bees acquire nector/pollen grains from flowers and in return disperse

pollen grains.This practise is known as mutualism.






















The spider has an exoskeleton which is made up of chitin.





















The flower's ovary is the female reproductive organ.








Xylem tissues within leaves help in transporting water and organic nutrients within the plant.
















The tree bark consists of cellulose.










Tomoato is a fleshy fruit with seeds.












Oil consists of lipids.









Onions are classified in the division Angiosperms.













Thorns on a plant.










Dates are monocots.









Epithelium tissue which is composed of epithelial cells,

is the primary body tissues in humans.







Keratin is the main constituent of human hair and nails.






















































































































Biological Artifacts Part 1

A spider can be classified into the phylum Arthropoda.




Phloem tissues transport nutrients within the plant.





Deciduous trees shed their leaves in the fall.




Autotrophs are the producers in the food chain




Cats are endotherms, as they are warm blooded animals.








Ticks are parasites, which can be found living on dogs.




The leaves of palm trees are fronds.













This bee is a pollinator, which helps facilitate pollination in nature.








Corn plants use C4 carbon fixation.





This spider's exoskeleton is made up of chitin. Chitin has been used for sevral medical and industrial purposes.







This fly is an insect.





Cashews, figs and prunes are dried fruits.









The pollen grains are produced in the anther of the flower.







Adaptation Of a plant: This squash plant grows spirallingly upwards with the help of the ladder.





This plant has herbaceous stems.











The leaves of the squash plant are modified leaves, which helps the plant to function more efficiently.







This rose plant has thorns on its stems.







This earthworm can be classified in the phylum Annelida.








This cactus plant is a xerophyte. Plants such as this one can sustain themselves in extreme harsh conditions in the desert.









Spores are the units of asexual reproduction.
