Eukaryote: This is my five year old supreme champion cow Pear. Pear is a eukaryote because she is a multicellular organism whose cells contain membrane bound nuclei.

Plant With Thorn: This bush found in my yard uses it's thorns as a form of protection against predators, mainly herbivores. Thorns are present on plants whose leaves die quickly and grow for only a limited time.

Autotroph: These are a few of the plants I am growing for AP Bio. Autotrophs are able to provide their own food thru nutrients from the sun. Sunlight provides them the energy necessary to make food. Most plants are autotrophs.

Parasite: My cousin thankfully found this tick on one of my cows at the Farm Fair while washing her. Ticks are one of the most popular parasite in the world although they are very, very dangerous. Getting bit by a tick could give you Lyme's disease and potentially be life threatening so it's important to be always be aware of parasites such as ticks.

Insect: This wasp was found flying around my kitchen the morning of the farm fair. Insects are characterized as three pairs of legs and a segmented body. Insects are not usually fun to be around and can sometimes be harmful, you don't want to be stung by a wasp!

Endotherm: My calf Melody is an endotherm which means she is a warm blooded animal capable of maintaining and controling her own body temperature. Usually her body temperature is and should be higher then the temperature of her environment.

Fleshy Fruit With Seeds: These peaches are an example of a fleshy fruit with internal seeds. The outside layer of skin on the peaches is very soft and has a fleshy texture. The seeds are stored within the pit on the inside of the fruit.
