Welcome!
This summer my AP Biology teacher is having us search around the neighborhood for biological terms and take pictures of them. The blog will updated once a week with new pictures and definitions.
*In order to prove that all my images are original this magnet will appear in every single picture as a symbol of authenticity
1.) Amniotic Egg- A shelled, water-retaining egg that enables reptiles, birds, and egg-laying mammals to complete their life-cycles on dry-land. It takes a hen 24-26 hours to lay an egg. This is a large, grade A, chicken egg that I took from the fridge.
2.) Asexual Reproduction- A type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts. Year after year, the roses in my backyard come to life again and peak around the middle of May from the same single plant my dad planted some four to five years ago.
* A close up of one of the cut stems. All plant organs have been used for asexual reproduction, but stems are the most common. In a number of species, the stems will arch over and take the root at their tips, in order to form new plants.
3.) Autotrophe- An organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other orgainisms or substances derived from other organisms. Autotrophes use energy from the sun, like the plant shown below, or from the oxidation of inorganic substances to make organic molecules from inorganic ones. This plant only needs the sun and some water. And although it is inside my hose, it still manages to get enough sun and we only need to give it water every now and then.
*My father's Douglas Fir, on the other hand, is shown no attention whatsoever and is very healthy and tall for its young age. A Douglas Fir, the English name applied in common to evergreen coniferous trees of the genus Pseudotsuga in the family Pinaceae. Two of the five species reside in western North America.
