Eubacteria: With the exception of archaebacteria, Eubacteria literally means true bacteria. This soil contains eubacteria.

Epithelial Tissue: membranous tissue that covers internal organs and other internal surfaces on the body. Skin is an example of epithelial tissue.

Frond: often large, but finely divided leaf, applied especially to ferns and specific palms. This fern has this.

Ovary: ovary produces ovules that wait to be fertilized by pollen from another flower; an ovary's function is to hold reproductive egg cells. These flowers each have an ovary.

Gametophyte: a multicellular phase in a plants life cycle. Moss is a common phase in a plants life cycle; hence  it's a gametophyte.

Gibberellins: A group of hormones of plants that stimulate stem elongation and flowering. Grapes are gibberellins because it has these characteristics.

Genetically Modified Organism: Bananas that we eat have been modified genetically to not have seeds; hence it is a genetically modified organism.

Glycogen: generally used to store energy; foods that contain a lot of carbs happen to have some glycogen.

Enzyme: a substance that changes the activity of an action; it's like a type of catalyst. It might change the speed of the reaction, yet it doesn't effect the actual enzyme. Animal rennet is an example of this.
                                                
Ethylene: a plant hormone, but unlike others plant hormones it's a gas. During the ripening process, ethylene is released in some foods such as tomatoes.
