Modified stem of a plant

Potatoes are modified for food storage.

Phloem

Trees are examples because vascular tissues send sugar down the leaves.

Modified leaf of a plant

Onions are an example of leaves of a plant because its layers act as modified leaves.

Homologous structure

This dog leg is an example because this leg and a humans leg are similar because of common ancestry.

pollinator

This bee is a pollinator because it carries pollen from one plant to another.

Niche

This is a niche of an ant hole because it lives there.

Commensalism

This butterfly is a part of commensalism because the type of relationship between two species of a plant or animal in which one lives in another without damage to either. The butterflies food is this leaf.

Modified root of a plant

Carrots are an example because they are large tap roots that are modified for food and water storage.

archaebacteria

Boiling water is an example of archaebacteria because it has microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size of structure but radically diffferent in molecular organizations.

hermaphrodite

This rose is an hermaphrodite because its a bisexual plant and has large petals.

Hydrophilic

Salt is an example of hydrophilic because it absorbs moisture.

gibberellins

Grapes are an example of gibberellins because they are a plant that has horomones that regulate growth and influence various development processes.

Calvin Cycle

These sweet potatoes are an example of the calvin cycle because they have biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms.

Rhizome

This asparagus is a rhizome because it is a stem of a plant that is usually found underground.

Eukaryote

This will be the rest of my pictures.

This plant is made of complex cells with organelles in cytoplasm.

Long-Day Plant: Lettuce, a plant that flowers only after being exposed to light periods longer than a certain critical length, as in summer.

Hydrophobic: Olive Oil, fails to mix with water.

Fermentation:  The process of converting sugar to carbon dioxide and alcohol with yeast. To make wine, grapes are crushed and fermented.

Ethylene: Ethylene gas is the ripening agent that occurs naturally in nature. It causes fruits to ripen & decay.  Ethylene gas turns Bananas yellow and then brown.

CAM Plant:
Pineapple, a plant that undergoes a form of photosynthesis known as crassulacean acid metabolism, in which carbon dioxide is taken up only at night.
