1) Adhesion of water: The adhesion of water is the attraction of water to another polar substance by the use of the hydrogen bonds present in the water molecules. The picture of an orange tree with water attracted to its leaf represents adhesion because the water is making weak hydrogen bonds with the polar molecules of the leaf.
3) ATP: ATP(short for adenosine triphosphate) is the main form in which ones body utilizes energy by running it through Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain. The picture of regular table sugar represents ATP because it is the starting block in Cellular Respiration.
4) Autotroph: An autotroph is an organism that can synthesize all of the organic compounds that it needs from the environment around them with the use of inorganic compounds. This podocarpus is an autotroph because it uses the inorganic compounds of carbon dioxide and water to form its own food and energy.
5) Calvin Cycle: The Calvin cycle is the process in which plants make sugar during photosynthesis. This picture of ivy represents the Calvin cycle because it is a plant, and all plants use the Calvin cycle to produce the necessary sugars.
6)Carbohydrate: Carbohydrates are the main energy storage unit for energy and is broken down into four main categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, obligiosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The picture of spaghetti represents carbohydrates because it has many of them and is a great short term energy storage unit.
7) Catabolic: Catabolic reactions are reactions in which something metabolizes a large unit into multiple smaller units usually resulting in free energy. This lawnmower represents catabolism because is uses gasoline to make the energy needed to run and cut grass.
8) Cellulose: Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate(polysaccharide) consisting multiple glucose molecules. Cellulose is also the primary unit in plant cell walls, so this Dracaena plant has cellulose in its cell walls.
10) Cohesion of water: The cohesion of water is the attraction of water molecules to each other because the electronegativity of the oxygen atoms in the water makes all of the water molecules polar, and polar molecules are always attracted to each other. The attraction of water molecules form surface tension because the water molecules do not want to move away from each other. This picture of a leaf floating in water represents cohesion because the surface tension of the water won't let the leaf sink to the bottom of the pool.
12) Ectothermy: Ectothermy is the process by which an organism regulates its body temperature largely by using the environment around them. The picture of a butterfly represents ectotherms because it uses the sun to get warmer and the shade to get cooler.
13)Endothermy: Endotherms are animals that regulate their body temperature by homeostasis and are capable of generation of heat within their body. The picture of an elk represents endothermy because it regulates its own body temperature no matter how hot or cold it is outside.
14)Entropy: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of the universe and are always catabolic and non-spontaneous reactions. The leaves on the ground represents less order and more entropy in the system because there is more order when the leaves are on the trees.
16)Fermentation: Fermentation happens when there is a lack of oxygen to prom ATP in Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis. The lack of oxygen in Cellular Respiration forms lactic acid fermentation, and the lack of oxygen in Photosynthesis forms Ethanol Fermentation. The picture of this Ale and all alcohol is made by Ethanol Fermentation in plants.
17)Glycogen: Glycogen is a store for carbohydrates and is a polysaccharide made up of glucose. This picture of Ham represents glycogen because it was a part of a pig that helped store carbohydrates.
23) Hydrophilic: A hydrophilic substance is a substance that is attracted to water and tends to dissolve or dissociate is the presence of it because it is polar or charged. Salt is an example of a hydrophilic substance because it dissolves in water.
24) Hydrophobic: A hydrophobic substance is a non-polar substance that has little or no attraction to water. When put in water, normal hydrophobic substance will naturally go towards one another and will not dissolve. The picture of oil represents a hydrophobic substance because it clumps together in water and floats on top.
29)Long-Day plant: A long-day plant is a plant that needs extended periods of light and short periods of dark to be able to grow and possibly flower. Lettuce is an example of a long-day plant because it needs long and hot days to grow.
30) Phloem: Phloem is a tissue that moves sugar and other nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant. This picture of a Gardina leaf contains thousands of phloem tissue cells.
32) Saturated Fat: A saturated fat is a fat that are solids because they have no double bonds between any carbon molecules and therefore have the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms. Butter is an example of an unsaturated fat because it has no double bonds and is solid.
33) Somata: A stomata of a plant is the part responsible for gas exchange and is surrounded by guard cells which tell the stomata when to open and close. Stomata are found on the bottom of the leaf. This Leopard plant has many stomata on the underside of the leaf.
37)Unsaturated fat: An unsaturated fat is a fat that has one or more double bonds between carbon molecules. When a fat has double bonds between carbon molecules, it does not have the maximum amount to hydrogen atoms. Walnuts are high in polyunsaturated fats which means that there are multiple douoble bonds between carbon molecules.
