Gycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles, as shown in the picture.

All lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, like the oil shown in the picture, waxes, phospolipids, steroids (like cholesterol), and some other related compounds. (lipid used for energy storage).

A diploid chromosome is a threadlike linear strand of DNA and associated proteins in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that carries the genes and functions in the transmission of hereditary information. A dogas shown in the picture has 78 chromosomes.

phloem is the part of a vascular bundle consisting of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma, and fibers and forming the food-conducting tissue of a plant, like the one shown in the picture.

Endosperm is nutritive tissue in the seeds of most flowering plants. It surrounds the embryo and is produced by an unusual process that parallels the Nutritive tissue in the seeds of most flowering plants. It surrounds the embryo and is produced by an unusual process that parallels the fertilization of the ovum by a male gamete.of the ovum by a male gamete.

Mycorrhizae is the symbiotic association of the mycelium of a fungus with the roots of certain plants, such as conifers, as shown in the picture, beeches, or orchids.

Xylem is the supporting and water-conducting tissue of vascular plants, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels; woody tissue like the tree trunk of a tree.

A Tendril is a twisting, threadlike structure by which a twining plant, such as a grape or cucumber, grasps an object or a plant for support.

Stems that are woody are the stems of plants who have been growing for two years or more. After two years, a plant's stem thickens to accommodate growth and increased circulation in a plant. An example of a woody stem is a tree trunk.

Herbaceous is a description of a plant whose stem has little or no woody tissue an example of a plant that has a herbaceus stem would be a sunflower like the one shown in the picture

A Spore is a small, usually single-celled reproductive body that is highly resistant to desiccation and heat and is capable of growing into a new organism, produced especially by certain bacteria, fungi , like the mushrooms shown in the picture, algae, and nonflowering plants.

Radial Symmetry is the condition of having similar parts regularly arranged around a central axis. An example of radial symmetry would be the flower shown in the picture.

Fibrous Proteins are proteins that tend to be insoluble and strong and so play a structural role in organisms for support or protection. For example the fingernails shown in the picture.

An insect is any animal of the class Insecta, comprising small, air-breathing arthropods having the body divided into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), and having three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings. An example of an insect would be the fly shown in the picture.

Dry Fruits can be divided into those in which the seeds are contained in a seedpod of some sort which opens to release the seeds (called Dehiscent), and those in which there isn't a seedpod which opens (Indehiscent). An example of a dry fruit would be a raisin since they are grapes that have dried.

Bryophyte is a resource devoted to Bryology, the branch of plant science concerned with the study of mosses, like the moss on the tree shown in the picture, liverworts and hornworts. It provides information on the classification, structural features, and natural history.

Trees that lose all their once a year are called deciduous, like the leaves on the tree shoown in the picture whereas trees which lose their leaves continously and not all at once are called evergreen.

Chitin is a polysaccharide found in the outer skeleton of insects, for example the bee shown in the picture, crabs, shrimps, and lobsters and in the internal structures of other invertebrates. Chitin is composed of ß(1-4) linked units of the amino sugar N-acetyl-glucosamine, and is the main source of production of chitosan

Basidiomycetes are any of various members of a large group of fungi for example the mushrooms showmn in the picture, bearing sexually produced spores on a basidium.

A C 4 plant is a plant that utilizes the C4 carbon fixation pathway in which the CO2 is first bound to a phosphoenolpyruvate in mesophyll cell resulting in the formation of four-carbon compound (oxaloacetate) that is shuttled to the bundle sheath cell where it will be decarboxylated to liberate the CO2 to be utilized in the C3 pathway.An example of a C 4 Plant would be the sugar cane shown in the picture

Here is a picture of an egg. An amniotic egg is the type of egg produced by reptiles, birds, and prototherian (egg-laying) mammals (amniotes), in which the embryo develops inside an amnion. The shell of the egg is either calcium-based or leathery.

Modern arthropods include insects like the fly shown in the picture, spiders, centipedes, shrimp, and crayfish. All arthropods are the descendents of a single common ancestor. Just as you and your biological cousins can trace your ancestry back to a common set of grandparents, all arthropods can trace their ancestry back to a common arthropod ancestor.

Fibrous carbohydrates are complex carbohydrates that come mostly from green vegetables like the one shown in the picture . These carbohydrates are rich in fiber and help the digestive process run smoothly. Fibrous carbohydrates are also a good source of minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and other nutrients.

Cellulose is one of many polymers found in nature. Wood, like the one in the picture, paper, and cotton all contain cellulose. Cellulose is an excellent fiber. Wood, cotton, and hemp rope are all made of fibrous cellulose.

Lignin is a complex polymer, the chief noncarbohydrate constituent of wood, as shown in the picture, that binds to cellulose fibers and hardens and strengthens the cell walls of plants like the leaf of this picture.

an external covering or integument Arthropods are animals with exoskeletons (external skeletons), segmented bodies, and jointed legs. They are the largest group of animals on Earth and include insects, crustaceans, and arachnids. An example of an insect with an exoskeleton would bbe an ant, just as the 1 shown in the picture.

Here is a picture of a Conifer leaf. Conifers often feature cones (a variety of flower) and bear narrow leaves or needles designed to retain water. The crown (upper leaf-covered segment) of a conifer is also distinctive; it is generally pyramid-shaped and slender. Most conifers are evergreen.

This is a picture of a bird it is an example of an endotherm because it is an organism that generates heat to maintain its body temperature, typically above the temperature of its surroundings; a homeotherm.

The skin is an exaple of Epithelial tissue because it covers the whole surface of the body. Ephithelial tisue is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialised to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces.

Fruits are the containers in which the plant puts its seeds. They are not all fruits as we think of them, but have many different forms. as shown in the picture, Some are fleshy with parts we like to eat, , some are dry, some are heavy and are designed to be dispersed by falling and rolling away from the parent plant, some have wings or fluffy tails to enable them to be caught by the wind to be dispersed.

enlarged basal portion of the pistil, the female organ of a flower. The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. It will mature into a fruit, either dry and parchmentlike or fleshy, enclosing the seeds. The ovary of the flower is the swollen bottom part of the pistil

Keratin is formed by keratinocytes, living cells which make up a large part of skin, hair, nails (as shown in the picture), and other keratin containing parts of the body. The cells slowly push their way upwards, eventually dying and forming a protective layer of cells. Thousands of these cells are shed every day, and the process can be accelerated by various medical conditions, such as psoriasis. Damage to the external layer of keratin can cause skin, hair, and nails to look unhealthy or flaky.

this is a picture of wood the heartwood is l The older, nonliving central wood of a tree or woody plant, usually darker and harder than the younger sapwood. Also called duramen.

Here is a picture of a dog, fleas live in dogs and therefore it is a parasite. A Parasite is an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

Here is a picture of a flower. The pollen is located in the center of the flower. Pollen is the fertilizing element of flowering plants, consisting of fine, powdery, yellowish grains or spores, sometimes in masses.

Here is a picture of a rose, roses have thorns which are  small sharp-pointed tips resembling a spike on a stem or leaf.

Pollinators are responsible for assisting over 80% of the world's flowering plants. Without them, humans and wildlife wouldn't have much to eat Animals that assist plants in their reproduction as pollinators include species of ants, bats, bees (as shown in the picutre), beetles, birds, butterflies, flies, moths, wasps, as well as other unusual animals.

This is a picture of a leaf its cuticle layer is the protective layer covering the outer cell layer of the green, aerial parts of land plants. Cuticles protect plants against dessication, UV radiation and various kinds of physical, chemical and (micro)biological agents.

An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants like the one shown in the picture, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.

Here is a picture of a stem nd its leaves the vascular plant tissue extends from the roots to leaves. Vascular tissue consists of xylem and phloem. These two types of vessels run side-by-side. They provide channels for the transport of water and nutrients.
