#50) Big Idea 3 Term 19: Seed Dispersal Method

Above next to lego Hans is a seed that is special designed to move far away from its parent. The Japanese maple it is on uses a seed depressed method to make the seed go far away. This seed is designed like a helicopter in that it will spin quickly and float very far away.

#49) Big Idea 3 Term 18: Prokaryote

The gell-like stuff above is a en vitro solution that holds all the essential nutrients for life. The reason it is a murky brown is that many bacteria are thriving in it. They are all prokaryotic organisms in that they all are smaller than eukaryotes, they have cell walls built of peptidoglycan, they have no organelles, and they have no defined nucleus.

#48) Big Idea 3 Term 11: Herbivory Responses

Plants all over the world may seem defenseless because they can't run away when they are being eaten, but that is not true. Certain plants have developed herbivory responses to being eaten, such as the foxglove seeds above. when this foxglove plant grown up, It may be nibbled on my a rabbit but it will poison the rabbit and the other rabbits will learn to not eat it in the future, which is a way it can protect itself.

#47) Big Idea 3 Term 10: Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)

The milk above came from a cow, and although this cow was not genetically modified, it was fed feed that is a GMO. The danger in feeding cattle GMOs like this is that the GMOs can harm the cattle's digestive system, cause cancer, and taint its milk or meat product.

 #46) Big Idea 3 Term 7: Evidence of different Alleles

Above is a yellow miniature rose. It got its color from a certain allele on one of its chromosomes. But on different types of the same species, different alleles can replace one certain allele. In this case there is an allele for yellow color, But there could also be alleles for different colors.

 #45) Big Idea 3 Term 7: Evidence of different Alleles

Above is a pink miniature rose. It got its color from a certain allele on one of its chromosomes. But on different types of the same species, different alleles can replace one certain allele. In this case there is an allele for pink color, But there could also be alleles for different colors.

 #44) Big Idea 3 Term 7: Evidence of different Alleles

Above is a red miniature rose. It got its color from a certain allele on one of its chromosomes. But on different types of the same species, different alleles can replace one certain allele. In this case there is an allele for red color, But there could also be alleles for different colors.

#43) Big Idea 3 Term 3: Eukaryote

The plant above is a snowdrop and it, like all other fungi, plants, and animals, is a eukaryote. A eukaryotic cell is unique from the other type of cell (prokaryotic cell) in that it is larger, it has many organelles, and it has a designated nucleus.

#42) Big Idea 3 Term 2: Ethylene

Ethylene (C2H4) is one of the most simple hydrocarbons and is used widely in the chemistry industry. It is used as a combustible fuel and as a chemical used to ripen plants off of the plant. The banana depicted above was probably picked while green, refrigerated, and then ripened with ethylene to turn yellow.

#41) Big Idea 3 Term 1: Diploid

The sunflower shown above is diploid because it has two copies of all of its chromosomes in all of its cells except its gametes. Plants usually have an alternative gametophyte generation where it is haploid but that is contained inside of the seeds.
