Cambium: A cellular plant tissue which pheloem, xylem, or cork grow by division, resulting in secondary thickning in woody plants.

 In this picture is a tree from my backyard that had to be cut down at a point to prevent rotting. It shows the cambium layer after the outer and inner bark layers.

Adaptation of an animal: Natural-preservation. This is how animals have traits that allow them to evolve with their surroundings.

In this picture, it shows and example of how many birds adapt to different environments. This bird used twigs, straw, hay, and many other tools that they found to build a nest to lay eggs in. They also used the gutter of my house as a safe environment the build the nest.

Epithelial tissue: Tissue that is composed of tightly connected cells arranged in one or more layers, and it covers the whole surface of the body.

This picture is of my hand. Skin is a type of epithelial tissue that has two or more cells; it is known as stratisfied epithelium.

Adaptation of plants: Plants adapt in different areas to help them survive in different climates and areas.
This rose bush adapted to the city area of Clarksburg. The soil is very rocky, and not a good area for plants. This rose bush adapted into the certain area I live in, into the city with a different environment then a rural area.

Enzymes: A substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. As in the picture, milk and cheese has enzymes in them.
