A prokaryote is an organism whose cells are prokaryotic. Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall that acts as a shell around the contents of the cell, and gives plants the "crunch" not apparent in eukaryotic cells.
Photo 2: Adaptation of a Plant
This holly bush's leaves are an example of an adaptation of a plant because they have developed prickly edges that protect the leave from insects and other predators
Photo 3: Adaptation of a Plant
This leaf has adapted to repel water and create runoff by its shape, which is turned down so that the leaf can't be trampled by heavy rain.
Photo 4: Mullerian Mimicry
This Monarch butterfly uses Mullerian Mimicry to appear poisonous by mimicing the Viceroy butterfly. This protects the Monarch from predators who are less likely to prey upon a poisonous organism.
Photo 5: Cuticle layer of a plant
The cuticle layer of a plant is the outer layer of protection on the organism's surface. This leaf's glossy outer layer is the cuticle layer of the plant.
Photo 6: Population
A population is a group of organisms of the same species living together in an environment. These koi fish are living (and eating) together in a pond in my backyard!
Photo 7: Frond
A frond is a large, segmented leaf, typically a fern. This fern has long segmented leaves and is a frond.
Photo 8: anther & filament of stamen
The anther is the pollen-covered tip of the small stems (filaments) that come from the center of a flower.
