Genevieve's Biology Collection 2

1. Bilateral Symmetry
When an organism's plane is split into two mirrored halves. Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry





2. Connective Tissue
One classification of the four types of tissue. Connective tissue plays a part in forming ligaments and tendons, like in our hands.








3. Cuticle Layer of a plant
The plant cuticle is a protective waxy layer over a plant's leaf.











4. Eubacteria
Also called just bacteria, are prokaryotic, and are responsible for many sicknesses, but also are helpful in many ways to our body, like the bacteria in yogurt.








5. Eukaryote
and organism who's cells contain complex structures enclosed by membranes. Most large organisms have eukaryotic cells, like horses.







6. Fermentation
is the process of producing energy by the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates. One fermentation product is lactic acid, an acid that builds up in muscles when you work out.




7. Flower Ovary
female part of a plants reproductive system. The part of the flower that holds the ovules, connected to the base of the petal.






8. Genetic Variation within a population
The difference between genes in a population, providing a chance for natural selection to happen.





9. Long-day plant
plant that requires fewer than a certain number of hours of darkness in each 24-hour period to induce flowering. Lettuce is one such plant.









10. Modified Leaf of a plant
A modified leaf is a leaf that has been adapted for another purpose besides storing food and water, like a spine leaf, which is modified to protect.









11. Modified Stem of a plant
Offshoots are modified stems in plants that apply to lateral branches, often found on pineapples.









12. Pollinator
The 'agent' that moves pollen from the male anthers to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization; the most commonly known pollinator it the bee.






13. population
the collection of inter-breeding organisms of a particular species.







14. Predation
an interaction between organisms where a predator feeds on its prey...(don't worry, my dog didn't eat the bird)









15. Stigma and Style of Carpel
the stigma must distinguish between the right kinds of pollen, specie-wise, and the style provides support for pollen tubes, so that the pollen may be transported correctly.
