Allye McLaughlin- first set of terms

Leaf - gymnosperm: This is a type of leaf - gymnosperm because the seeds grow on the outside of the plant instead of the inside. if you look closely you will see the pine cones starting to grow on the branches. That's the gymnosperm of this pine tree.

Cuticle Layer of a Plant- the cuticle layer of a plant is actually the shiny wax coating on the top of the leaf. So here I have a Basil leaf and if you notice the shine that is the cuticle of the leaf.

Eukaryote- This is Molly. she is considered a eukaryote because she is an organism with complex structure cells. We know she is a eukaryote because most living organisms, such as dogs, are eukaryotes.

Flower Ovary- I chose a hibiscus flower because it's my favorite flower. the hibiscus ovary is a sac inside the flower containing the seeds.

Arthropod- An ant is classified as an arthropod, a segmented ecdysozoan with a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages. If you examine an ant, you will notice the shape of an ants body as almost like a snowman type figure.

Frond- this is a frond from a palm. Fronds are the type of leaves from certain plants such as ferns or as seen here palms.

Keratin- Keratin is a scleroprotien or albuminoid substance found in the dead outer skin layer and other places such as nails, horns, or feathers. So I have included a picture of my fingernail.

Tendril of a plant- a tendril is classified as a twisting, threadlike structure by which a twining plant grasps an object or other plant for support. Even though my ring is pulling the vine down, it is easy to see that the vine is curled around the ring.

Deciduous Leaf- This leaf is classified as a deciduous leaf because it falls from a tree that loses its leaves seasonally. The leaves grow to a maturity and then fall off the branches

Fruit- fleshy with seed: This works for a a fruit fleshy with seed because it is a fresh cherry tomato plant. It's fleshy because it is fresh off the vine and all tomatoes have seeds.
