44.-47 CATEGORY: SAME ORDER BUT DIFFERENT FAMILY



44.&45. CAT: The cat belongs to the order Carnivora and the family Felidae. This is my friend's cat, Timmy.



46.&47. Dog: The dog belongs to the order Carnivora and the famuly Canidae. This is my cousin's dog, Bella.

34.-43 CATEGORY: SAME CLASS BUT DIFFERENT ORDER

THE NEXT TWO ARE FRO THE SAME CATEGORY AS 34-39 BUT WITH A DIFFERENT CLASS



40.&41 AFRICAN PENGUIN: The order is Sphenisciformes and the class is Aves. This picture was taken at Six Flags a few years ago.



42.&43. Seagull: The order is Charadriiformes and the class is Aves. This picture was taken at Six Flags a few years ago, as well.

34.-43 CATEGORY: SAME CLASS BUT DIFFERENT ORDER




34.&35. Grey Reef Shark: The order is Carchardriiformes and the class is Chondrichthyes. Both pictures are of the Grey Reef Shark. This picture was taken at Six Flags a few years ago.





36.&37. Sting Ray: The order is Myliobatiformes and the class is Chondrichthyes.This picture was taken at Six Flags a few years ago.




38.&39. Bullhead Shark: The order is Heterodontiformes and the class is Chondrichthyes. This picture was also taken at Six Flags a few years ago.

28.-33. CATEGORY: DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES




32.&33. COMPLEX FIBROUS CARBOHYDRATES: Carrots
Fibrous Carbohydrates are rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and other nutrients. Most fibrous carbohydrates are green vergetables. Examples of fibrous carbohydrates include asparagus, green beans, broccoli, celery, and etc.This picture was taken at home.

28.-33. CATEGORY: DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES


30.&31. COMPLEX STARCHY CARBOHYDRATES: Pasta
Complex carbohydrates are also composed sugar molecules, however the sugar molecules are joined together to form longer, more complex chains. Other examples of complex carbohydrates include rice and wholemeal flour. This picture was taken at home.

28.-33. CATEGORY: DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES




28.& 29. SIMPLE STARCHY CARBOHYDRATES (MONOSACCHARIDES): Powdered Sugar
Simple Carbohydrates have simple molecules, hence the "simple". They are composed of one to two sugar molecules. Other examples include honey, fruit, and sweets. This picture was taken at home.

27. ANIMAL THAT HAS A SEGMENTED BODY

ANIMAL THAT HAS A SEGMENTED BODY: Spider
The spider's body is split onto two segments: the cephalothorax and the abdomen. I found this spider on my front porch.

26. RHIZOME


RHIZOEM: Ginger
A ginger is a rhizome; a rhizome is a horizontal stem of a plant. Usually found underground, it sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. I found the ginger at home.

25. UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS

UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS: Remote Control
This is a picture of my remote control at home. You can usually locate the remote in someone's hand while we are watching t.v. and we don't wipe it with swipes every time we use it. If one was to observe the remote at a microscopic level, they would see bacteria all over it. Bacteria is a unicellular organism.

24. LIPIDS FOR ENERGY STORAGE

LIPIDS FOR ENERGY STORAGE: Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil
This extra light virgin olive oil is an example of a lipid for energy storage. It is a triacylglycerlos- a form of energy storage in animals. The function of the adipocyle (fat cell) is to break down triacylglcyerlos. This picture was taken at home.

23. FLOWER OVARY


FLOWER OVARY: Flower
The ovary is the female reproductive organ in a flower. The ovary hold the ovules and is located at the point of connection between the base of the petals and the sepals. I took this picture next to some crosswalk lights.

22. MERISTEM


MERISTEM: Tree
A meristem is any place on a plant where growth can occur (roots, branches, trunk, flower). This is a picture of a tree in my front yard.

21. ANTHER AND FILAMENT OF STAMEN

ANTHER AND FILAMENT OF STAMEN: Flower
I found this flower walking around my neighborhood; I don't know the name of the flower. If you look closely, you can see the white anther and filament in the center. Sorry that the quality of the picture is so bad; i had to use my iPod.

20. PREDATION


PREDATION: Bird Eating a Snake
This is an example of predaton because the predator (Bird) is feeding on the prey (snake). This picture was taken at Six Flags a few yeas ago during a bird show.

19. MUTUALISM



MUTUALISM: Ant on a Leaf
This is a picture of an ant on a leaf. There is a mutual relationship between the ant and the leaf as they both benefit from one another. The plant provided nectar (food) for the ant and the ant protects the plant from predators. This picture was taken in my backyard. The first picture is from a distance and the second one is zoomed in so its a bit blurry.

18. FROND


FROND: A Divided Leaf
A frond is a divided leaf. I don't know what kind of leaf this is specifically but I know it qualifies as a frond. Though most refer to a frond as a larger compound leaf, it could be applied to smaller divided leafs as well. I took this picture in front of tree.

17. HETEROTROPH


HETEROTROPH: Bulls
The bulls behind my grandpa and cousin are heterotrophs. Sine heterotrophs cannot make their own food, they are dependent on others for nutrition and energy in forms of plants and/or animals. The picture was taken in India about three decades ago.

16. EXOSKELETON


EXOSKELETON: Ladybug
That little red on the leaf is a ladybug I found in my friend's vegetable garden. Like most insects, ladybugs don't have bones inside their bodies, therefore their hard shell functions as the body's skeleton. The prefix exo- means outside.

15. ENDOSPERM


ENDOSPERM: Flour
This is grounded wheat; wheat is grounded into flour fro many things including bread. Endosperm provides our bodies with important nutrients and one of the ways we obtain those nutrients is via bread, especially brown bread. This picture was taken at home.

14. SEED DISPERSAL


SEED DISPERSAL: Bird
This bird is a seed dispersal. Humans and birds enjoy feasting upon delicious fruits such as apples; birds, however, cannot digest the little black seeds. Therefore the seeds pass through the bird unharmed and fall onto the ground. This picture was taken at Six Flags a few year back.

13. ECTOTHERM


ECTOTHERM: Leopard Gecko
This Leopard gecko is an example of an ectotherm. Being an ectotherm, the gecko is cold-blooded and therefore cannot regulate its own body temperature like mammals and other animals. The Leopard Gecko is under the little rock cave; this picture was taken at Pet Extreme.

12. RADICAL SYMMETRY


RADICAL SYMMETRY: Coral
A Coral has radical symmetry. It's symmetry is almost like that of a snowflake. Though there are many ways to carve to carve the coral, the lines still meet at the center. This picture was also taken at Pet Extreme.

11. ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES



ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES: Fish Fin and Dolphin Flipper
The fins of fish and flippers of dolphins (mammal) are analogous structures. Although fins and flippers serve the same purpose they do not share a common ancestor. The picture of the goldfish was taken at Pet Extreme and the picture of the dolphin was taken at 6 Flags a few years ago.

10. POLLEN


POLLEN: Flower
Pollen is that fertilizing part of a flower that can usually be found in the center of the flower. In this picture the dark purple area in the center of the flower in the pollen. I took this picture walking around in my neighborhood.

9. R- STRATEGIST


R- STRATEGIST: Fish
This is a picture of fish; fish are R- Strategist. They have small bodies and they mass produce as there is a low chance for their offspring to survive. This picture was taken at Pet Extreme. (Sorry bout the bad quality; I had to take pictures with my iPod.)

8. K- STRATEGIST


K- STRATEGIST: Human
Humans are K-Strategists. A K-Strategists does not reproduce nearly as much as a single R- Strategist. They have large bodies and are highly involved in the lives of their offspring, unlike R- Strategists. This is a picture of my sister and I when we were younger; it was taken over a decade ago.

7. AUTOTROPH


AUTOTROPH: Guava Tree
This guava tree is an autotroph. Like many other autotroph plants, this tree requires photosynthesis and other organic compounds to achieve nourishment. We planted this tree in the spring.

6. LONG DAY PLANT


LONG DAY PLANT: Potato
This potato is a long day plant meaning it will only grow if it receives light for long, extended periods of times. Such is only possible when the sun is shinning during the day.

5. C3 PLANT


C3 PLANT: Brown Rice
Rice is a C3 plant. The rice classify as a C3 plant because it uses carbon fixation to convert CO2 into an organic compound. C3 plants can be found in areas with high CO2 concentration and an abundance of ground water.

4. HERMAPHRODITE


HERMAPHRODITE: Lemon Tree
This is a picture of the lemon tree we planted in our yard this spring. It is a a hermaphrodite because it has both male and female reproductive organs.

3. ENDOTHERM


ENDOTHERMIC: Pigeons
These are my pigeons and they are endothermic because they can generate their own heat. They can maintain their temperature via their metabolism and are not dependent on the environmental condition.

2. CUTICLE LAYER OF A PLANT


CUTICLE LAYER OF A PLANT:
A cuticle layer of a plant is a layer that protects the epidermis (skin) of a plant. The layer protects the plant from physical and chemical harm. It can be compared to the human skin as the two have a similar function.

1. AMNIOTIC EGG


AMNIOTIC EGG -
I found this egg inside my refrigerator. It is an Amniotic egg, for inside the shell in an embryo that will in time become a baby chicken.
