Valerie's Biology collection 1

Connective tissue
Type of animal tissue that binds structures together, provides support adn protection. fills spaces, stores fat, and forms blood cells, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone and blood are types of connective tissue. The Connective tissue on my cousin's leg holds her tendons together around her knee and give her support.








Vascular tissue that transports water and mineral solutes upward through the plant body; It contains vessel elements and tracheids. This tree outside the house is a example of a xylem.








gymnosperm leaf
Leaf that comes from a gymnosperm plant usually needle like structure. the Leaf to the left comes from a sago palm that is a gymnosperm plant. It leaf is shaped needle like.





Epithelial tissue



Is tissue that lines the hollow organs and covers surfaces like the in the picture to the left were the skin covers the organs.




Long day plant


A long-day plant requires fewer than a certain number of hours of darkness in each 24-hour period to induce flowering. The plant to the left flowered this summer in my backyard while all the others died. And is an example of a long day plant.





Lichen

Symbiotic relationship between certain fungi and algae, in which the fungi possibly provides inorganic food or water and the algae provide organic food. The picture on the left shows lichen on the wood.



Carbohydrates

Cabohydrates is a type of biomolecule it is also called a saccharide.
Carbohydrates are split into simple carboydrates and complex carbohydrates. The polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures, formed of repeating units joined together by glycosidic bonds. a example of this would be rice. There are Dissacharides which are formed when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule. And finally there are monosaccharides the simplest unit of a carbohydrate and sugar is an example of that.
















Kingdom Plantae


This kingdom is located in the Eukarya domain and is made up of mosses, ferms, conifers, and flowering plants. They are made up multicellular with specialized tissues containing complex cells. This kingdom photo synthesizes food.



Animalia Kingdom
This Kingdom is found in Eukarya Domain. This kingdom is mulitcellular with specialized tissues containing complex cells. In this kingdom they ingest food. The wild hog to the left is an example.







Kingdom Fungi


This kingdom is found in the Eukarya Domain. This kingdom is mostly mulitcellular fillaments with specialized, complex cells. In this kingdom they absorb food. Mushrooms are examples of this fungi and the picture to the left is a mushroom in my back yard.


Kingdom Protista


Kingdom Protista is in the Eukarya Domain. Protist range from unicellular forms some multicellular. They absorb, Photosythesize and ingest food. This algae is part of the kingdom protista.




Gymnosperm cone

Is the name for a group of seed baring plants whose seeds are formed naked on the scales of a cone of cone-like structure. The sago palm is known to have a gymnosperm cone like in the picture to the left.





Pollen
Is a fine powderlike material that consist of pollen grains and that is produced by the anthers of seed plants. In this plant to the left the yellow pollen gathers up in the middle.
