Big Idea 4, population

This flock of birds flying over the river are an example of a population or rather a part of a population. A population is the number of all the organisms of a given species in a specific area.

Big Idea 4, Predation

These geese are examples of animals that could become prey to a predator. A predator is an organism that hunts other organisms as a means of food. These geese could fall prey to a number of organisms such as humans or foxes for instance.

Big Idea 2, ATP

This small bird in the branches of this plant is an example of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is basically the fuel for all organisms. ATP is composed of a 3 phosphate which is what makes it such a good energy source. The reason is because the phosphates don't like to be held in such close proximity to each other so when they are separated it releases energy. 

Big Idea 2, Cohesion of Water

This running tap is an example of water cohesion. Water cohesion is water's ability to stick to itself. This property is very important because if it lacked that property then transpiration couldn't occur and simple things like being able to use a straw couldn't happen. 

Big Idea 1, Gymnosperm leaf

This tree is an example of a gymnosperm leaf. A gymnosperm is a plant that produces seeds that lack any sort of protection. This is the main difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms. Gymnosperms such as conifers and all evergreens that produce seeds but no flowers.

Big Idea 1, Gymnosperm Cone

This pine cone is an example of a gymnosperm cone. It is classified as such because the seeds have no protection like angiosperms and are left out in the open.

Big Idea 4, Parasatism

This mistletoe is an example of a parasite. A parasite is an organism that feeds off of a host organism and gets its food from that. Mistletoe can be found on many trees and in many different spots on the same tree and is damaging to the trees overall health. 

Big Idea 2, Calvin Cycle

This tree is an example of the calvin cycle. This cycle occurs in the stroma of plants and can create rubisco in plants without the aid of light and therefore can let the plant create energy without the presence of sunlight. 

Big Idea 1, Modified root of a plant
This potato is an example of a modified root because it is used for the storage of starch. Starch is plants main way of storing energy similar to in most animals glycogen is used. 

Big Idea 4, Endosperm

This jar of popcorn kernels is an example of an endosperm. An endosperm is what provides the seed with energy and this energy is stored in the form of starch. 

Big Idea 2 carbohydrate

This bread is a carbohydrate. A carbohydrate is a macro molecule that is made up of the monomers glucose fructose and galactose. Carbohydrates are in almost all of the food we eat and are good sources of energy.

Big Idea 2, Fermentation

This beer bottle is an example of fermentation. In order to create this beer yeast was used to create the alcohol that is in it. Fermentation is a way that plants and animals create energy by converting sugar into an acid of some sort or in this case alcohol.

Big Idea 3, Prokaryote

This yogurt is an example of a prokaryote. In this yogurt is bacteria and this bacteria is a prokaryote because the DNA that is within it isn't contained inside a nucleus and the cell has no nuclear membrane. 

Big Idea 2, Heterotroph 

This duck is an example of a heterotroph or an organism that acquires its energy through the consumption of other organisms. 

Big Idea 3, Pollinator

The bee that is in this picture is an example of a pollinator because it carries the pollen that it collects from one plant to another and in doing so spreads that pollen to several other pants and spreads it.

Big Idea 3, Flock

This large congregation of birds or this flock of birds is an example of a flock because it is a large group of animals that stay together for periods of time and assemble together. 

Big Idea 4, Aquatic biome (river)

This offshoot of the Sacramento river is a biome. A biome is an area that is defined by its climatic, and geographic characteristics. This river biome is home to many species of fish and a very important characteristic of this biome is the rivers current that makes the water flow downstream. 

Big Idea 2, Endothermy

This white Egret is an example of ectothermy. Ectothermy is whenever an animal regulates its own heat and creates its own heat in order to survive in different climates. 

Big Idea 2, Chitin

This fungi that is growing off of the side of this log is an example of chitin. Chitin is inside the cell walls of fungi instead of cellulose which is in the cell walls of most plants. 

Big Idea 2 Phloem

This reed like plant is an example of a phloem. A phloem is the tissue inside plants that carries the nutrients that it collects from the soil throughout the plant. 

Big Idea 1, Adaption of an Animal

 This turtle is an example of an adaption in an animal. One of its adaptions is its shell. Its shell protects it from predators and another adaptation of the shell is that it grows with the animal. 

Big Idea 4, Competition

This offshoot of the American River is home to several different geese and ducks. These birds have to compete with each other in order to procure food and a mate and therefore is an example of Competition.

Big Idea 4, Introduced species

This palm tree is an example of an introduced species. An introduced species is any species that isnt indigenous to its location and was brought there from somewhere else. 

Big Idea 2, Enzymes

This squirrel is an example of a enzymes because there are hundreds if not thousands of enzymes that controls all of the chemical reaction that require a catalyst in this squirrel.

Big Idea 1, arthropods

These small ants on this branch are examples of arthropods. An arthropod is any invertebrate that has a segmented body, an exoskeleton and jointed appendages.
