Big Idea 1
2. Adaptation of an animal: An adaptation
is any change in an organism that is helpful. This photo of a bird shows and
adaptation because of the birds hollow wings. This makes the bird lighter and
fly longer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Adaptation of a plant: A mutation that
helps the plant be more successful. An example is the thorns on the roses in my
backyard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Amniotic egg: This is an egg produced by many types of animals including the chicken that laid the egg in my photo. It has hard protective shell and this is where the baby will develop before it hatches.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Analogous structure: Structures on
different organisms that have the same function. In my photo the analogous
structure is my cat’s eyes and my dad’s eye’s.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Angiosperm: a plant with flowers and
makes seeds within a carpel. This photo is an example of an angiosperm because
it is a flowering plant
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Arachnid: It is specific type of
arthropod that is air breathing and has four pairs of legs. This photo of a
spider is an example of an arachnid.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Arthropod: An animal with a segmented
body and an exoskeleton. A butterfly is an example of an arthropod.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Bryophytes: My photo is of moss and it is
a bryophyte because in is a nonvascular plant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Chordate: An animal containing a
notochord or a backbone. An example is a squirrel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. Deuterostome: Any major division of the
animal kingdom including bilateral symmetry as in chordates. My aunt and
uncle’s dog Maggie is an example.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. Fungi: organisms that lack, leaves, true
stem, chlorophyll, and roots. Fungi also reproduce by spores. My photo of a
mushroom is an example of fungi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Genetic variation: In a population there
are many alleles that code for the same characteristic, but they are all
different traits. For the tigers in the photo you can see that they are the
same colors but the patterns they make are a little different.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24-25. Gymnosperm cone and leaf: This is a gymnosperm
cone, because the seed is borne into the tree’s cone and cannot be seen. This
is a photo of a gymnosperm’s leaves because they are evergreen and have a
needle like shape.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27. Lichens: They are composite organisms and
are made up from three kingdoms. My photo is of lichen growing on some bark in
my backyard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28. Modified leaf of a plant: A mutation or
change to a plant’s leaf. An example is green onion because its leaves are
edible.
29. Modified root of a plant. The tree in the
photo has modified roots that are spread out wide to get a lot of nutrients and
to help support the tree.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30. Modified stem of a plant: A strawberry’s
stem is called a stolon and they are horizontal stems that grow plants at their
tips.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
39. Tetrapod: The first four legged animals
including mammals and reptiles. My cat is an example because she is a mammal and
has four legs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
41. Vestigial structure: It is something that
an organism has but doesn’t need. For example in the photo is a scare I have
from when I was in first grade when I had appendicitis. Now I don’t have an
appendix but I would be that very few people in our bio class knew that.
Big Idea 2
2. Anabolic: The constructive portion of
metabolism used to help build up muscles. My photo is of Jenga blocks being
built up like an anabolic substance would do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. ATP: In this photo the deer is using
ATP to walk away from me because it didn’t like the sound the camera made when
it took a photo.
4. Autotroph: An organism that can produce
Energy without having to eat food. An example is this green plant in my
backyard because it uses photosynthesis to get ATP/energy.
6. Carbohydrate: An example of a carb is
pasta. A Carbohydrate is any of the organic compounds (carbon, hydrogen, and
Oxygen) and are normally in a ratio of 1:2:1.
7. Catabolic: the breaking down of complex
molecules in much simpler one, this process releases energy. My photo of Jenga
blocks being taken apart shows how a catabolic substance would work.
8. Cellulose: A Complex carb that is made of glucose
units, and is important in the production of making paper. That is why my AP
Bio book is an example of cellulose.
10. Cohesion of water: Water is formed by
hydrogen bonds which are very sticky this I why the water is above the edge of
the glass but it doesn’t fall over the sides.
11. Denaturation: The process that unfolds
proteins due to physical features causing the protein to become inactive
biologically. Cooked meat is an example because during the cooking process some
of the proteins become denatured.
14. Entropy: It is the idea that the universe
moves from order to disorder. An example could be ice melting due to something
hot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Enzyme: A protein that speeds up the
process of one thing. An example is a parry knife because it’s one thing it can
speed up is peeling things.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. Heterotroph: An organism they cannot make
their own food so they have to look for food that they can eat. A bear is an
example of a heterotroph because they have to look for food.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21-22. Hypertonic and Hypotonic: Two solutions with
one solution containing more solute than the other is hypertonic and the solution
with less solute to the other is hypotonic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Hydrophilic: Something that is
hydrophilic likes water and will mix with it. In this photo is placed some dye
in to a glass with water and took and picture as it was mixing in with the
water.
24. Hydrophobic: Something that is
hydrophobic does not like water and will not mix with it. In this photo you can
see that when I poured oil into the water it went to the top of the glass and
stayed there. Oil is hydrophobic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. Isotonic: Two solutions have the same
amount of solute in them. In the photo you can see that both glass are the same
shade of purple meaning they had the same concentration of dye in each glass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33. Stomata: These are located on leaves it
can open and close letting in CO2 and releasing O2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
36. Transpiration: The loss of water vapor from parts of plants. In this photo you can see water on the leaves of a plant that will evaporate showing the process of transpiration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37. Unsaturated fat: A fat that contains a
double bond between a carbon and another carbon. An example is extra virgin
olive oil.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
38. Xylem: These are located on trees with
long trunks to help water get to the top of the tree where all the leaves are.
My photo shows a tree trunk and inside are the xylem.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Diploid: An organism with two sets of
chromosomes is diploid. I am an example of a diploid organism minus my sex
cells.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Ethylene: C2H4 is the chemical formula
for it. Some fruits give off ethylene while ripening. An example is a mandarin
orange.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Eukaryote: an organism with eukaryotic
or advanced cells a tree is an example of this because all of their cells are
eukaryotic.
7. Evidence of different alleles: In the
photo of my cat you can tell that there are many different alleles for hair
color and they can all be shown by Barr Bodies.
8. Evidence of different alleles: The
poinsettia plant can come in many different colors including red, pink, and
white. This shows evidence of multiple alleles for the color of the flower.
9. Flock: A flock is a group of birds
traveling together. In this photo there are a group of ducks traveling
together
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. GMO: An organism that has had the DNA
modified by genetic engineering techniques. Rats are an example of a GMO.
15. Mitosis: The process of cell division where
one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This happens in the leaf in
this photo.
16. Meiosis: The process of one cell divided
into four daughter cells with different DNA. This happens in the flower of this
plant.
17. Phenotype: The gene that shows for the
characteristic. The phenotype for fur color of the cats in this photo is black
for the one in the back and a gray color for the one on the front.
Big Idea 4
2. Biological magnification: The
increasing concentration of something like a toxin in an organism that can
affect animals and the top of the food chain. Apples are a fruit that is
sometimes sprayed with pesticides that could possible affect us through
biological magnification.
3-1. 3-2. Biome: A natural region that tends to
be large and have the same type of flora through out it. Also can be a biome
based on natural features that is has. The two photos I have for this is a
still water biome and a running water biome.
7. Detritovore: It is an organism that
breaks down on dead plants or animal matter. They help return nutrients back
into the soil and ecosystem. Feces/ poop could be a something that they would
break down.
8. Endosperm: It is the inside of a seed.
The endosperm will give nutrients and protect the embryo. And example could be
the inside of an almond.
9. Introduced species: An introduced
organism that is non-indigenous to the area that it is brought to. Star thistle
is a weed and type of introduced species that is just outside my backyard.
11. K-strategist: These species have a few
large offspring that they take care of while they are young. They live long
lives and the population size is stable. My aunt and uncle’s dog is an example
of a k-strategist.
12. Mutualism: An interaction between two
individuals that is beneficial for both of the individuals. That plant is
giving me O2, while I’m giving it CO2. We are both getting what we need from
each other with out harming either one of us.
17. Population: It is all of the same species
that live in a certain are. My family can be considered a population because we
all live in the same are and are the same species.
19. R-strategist: They are organisms that can
grow quickly, and have high reproductive rate. Fish are an example of an
r-strategist.
