                                            This is my hand. It shows epithelial tissue,
                                            a tissue that lines the outside of your body and
                                            the lining of your organs.

                                                   This clematis vine shows plant adaptations.
                                                   The plant has adapted to climb above the
                                                    ground to recieve more sun. This in turn
                                                     causes it to grow.

                                            This bannana is showing signs of ripening.
                                            Ripening is caused by the fruit producing
                                             ethylene. It can cause a stop in cell division
                                              and growth.

 This vinca, like all plants and plant-like      
protists, is an autotrophs. Autotrophs are    
any organisms that produce their own food.


                                        This common commercial succulent, Hens & Chickens,
                                         is a CAM plant. This means the plant only opens its stomata
                                         at night for photorespiration.



                                                       Beer is a good example of fermentation.    
                                                       Fermentation is a metabolic process that    
                                                       cells can use to obtain energy from            
                                                       organic molecules. It does not use oxygen.


                                    This shows mutualism of clearwing moths and wild bergamot.
                                    The moth transfers pollen from the plant to other plants for
                                    reproduction while the moth gains nectar from the plant.
                                    Both organisms are helped by each other.
