This caladium leaf has a pink warning pattern on the front to deter predators, and to warn them that it is poisonous.

Photo 13: Pollinator

This bee in my backyard is a pollinator to our butterfly bush, since it carries pollen from flower to flower, fertilizing them.

Photo 14: Prokaryote

This potted flower is another example of a prokaryote, because its cells are prokaryotic and have cell walls.

Photo 15: Gametophyte

When a plant produces male and female gametes by undergoing the process of mitosis, it is a gametophyte. Mosses, such as this one undergo this phase in an early developmental stage.

Photo 16: Seed Dispersal


















Plants can't always rely on people to plant their seeds. The concept of seed dispersal suggests that plants rely on wind, animals and water as well. In this environment in the pond in my backyard, plants rely heavily on the water and wind for their seeds to be spread.

This praying mantis has an exoskeleton, an external shell (or, skeleton) that protects its body from harm.
