The World is Just Awesome

4.Unicellular Organism-  Most unicellular organisms are bacteria, or another type of microscopic organism, incapable of reproduction. The hand in my picture contains more than a million types of bacteria.*

5Flower Ovary- The ovule-bearing part of a pistil that ripens into a fruit. For example the orchid in the picture.*

6Hermaphrodite- An organism bearing both reproductive organs. For example, the great majority of slugs and snails are hermaphrodites. So I drew a picture of a slug next to my dog.*

7Actin- One of the key elements for the flex of a muscle. Being that it is impossible for me to capture a picture of actin, I used protein as the example. It supports actin and myosin growth in muscle.*

8Myosin- One of the key elements for the flex of a muscle. Being that it is impossible for me to capture a picture of Myosin; I used protein as the example. It supports actin and myosin growth in muscle.*

9Eukaryote-A key characteristic of the nucleus in both plants and animals.*

10Prokaryote- A key characteristic of the nucleus in both plants and animals*

11Pollen- The microscopic part produced by the anther that serves as the male agent of fertilization in flowering plants. For example, my dog shows the scale in how small the pollen is, in relation to the flower. *

12Genetically Modified Organism- An organism that has been modified genetically, to have a different property or emergent trait. For example, rice. It has been modified to contain beta-carotene.  A special anti-oxidant that can change the color of the organism.I put it on my dogs snout to show size.*

13. Glycogen-Cellulose Glycogen is an example of a molecule stored in the human liver, and heart. Its purpose is to break down sugars and starches. For example my dog carries glycogen in his muscle tissue.*

14. Nematode-A long hair like worm, that infects humans and animal, by infecting our blood stream. For example, a tapeworm. So here’s a picture of tape. Just to help you relate the two.*

15Lichen-A type of fungi found in most grass. I found stuff that looks like it. I think. It’s from my backyard, so you never can tell.*
