Big Idea 2 (first 10 pictures)

Big Idea 2

1, Adhesion of water. the napkin that i am holding in this picture has a drop of water on it. this represents adhesion because the water is sticking to the napkin. 

3, ATP. these flamingos use ATP as energy. ATPStands for Adenosine triphosphate and is an energy rich molecule used commonly as short term energy

4, Autotroph. both the tree that the cannon is resting on and the grass in the background are considered autotroughs because they have the ability to create their own energy out of nutrients and other materials they gather. 

5, Calvin Cycle. this plant has a chemical process called Calvin cycle going on constantly which creates sugars and starch, such as Glucose. 

6, Carbohydrates. the amazing Hawaiian bread is loaded with carbohydrates, aka carbs. carbs are necessary to the human body because they act as energy storage.

8, Cellulose. this green plant has cellulose, which is a pollysacharide and is the main ingredient in the plants cell wall and of vegetable fibers. 

10, Cohesion of Water. this cup of water represents cohesion of water because the water is sticking to the other molecules because of faint hydrogen bonds. 

15, Enzymes. this salivary amylase is an enzyme that helps break down molecules in the human mouth. 

18, Glycolysis. this lizard uses glycolysis. glycolysis is the breaking down of a glucose molecule into 2 pyruvates, along with multiple smaller molecules that then go through the electron transport chain. 

19, Heterotrough. this animal is an example of a heterotrough. a heterotrough cannot make its own food and must eat other organisms or food in order to receive the nutrients it needs.
