Fibrous proteins are rod or wire like in shape are generally inert structure or storage proteins. They are water insoluble and found in keratins, which are found in hair. To represent fibrous proteins, I have a picture of human hair.

C4 Plants are plants that contain a special Carbon 4. All Carbon 4 plants use a supplementary method of CO2 which creates a special 4-carbon molecule, instead of 2 3-carbon molecules from the Calvin Cycle. Corn is a C4 plant.

Fleshy fruits are subdivided into groups of fruit which come from a single flower, and those which come from many flowers. They can have one or several seeds in them. Strawberries are known as Pseudocarps and are a fleshy fruit with a seed.

A long day plant is a plant which requires more than six hours of sunlight a day. They are typically flowered throughout late spring until the winter solstice, because sunlight is then reduced. Clover is an example of a long day plant.

Deciduous leaves are on deciduous trees, which shed their leaves once they reach a point of maturity annually, for part of a year. This typically happens when winter and cold climates are brought on. This leaf is part of a Pin Oak tree, which will lose its leaves in the colder months of the year.

Insects are classified by having a head, thorax and abdomen, three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. There are over a million different species and make up about 90% of life on Earth. Most hatch from eggs and shed an exoskeleton. This is a picture of a cricket, which is classified as an insect.

The lepidoptera family is a large order of insects that includes moths and butterflies and includes

over 180,000 species. They are commonly characterized as being covered in scales, have two compound eyes, and an elongated mouth. All of them evolve from the caterpillar form. In this picture, I have a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly which is part of the lepidoptera family.

A herbaceous stem is a stem which has very little or no woody tissue. They are most often annual plants and die down to the roots in colder temperatures. Here is an image of a herbaceous stem from the flower called Mexican High Hat.

A pollinator is an organism who transfers pollen from the male portion of the flower to the female stigma to accomplish fertilization from the female gamete to the male gamete in the pollen grain. In this picture, a bumble bee is taking the pollen from this flower, and when he moves to a new flower, he would have accomplished fertilization.

A cnidarian is under the phylum cnidaria which contains over 9,000 species of animals found specifically in aquatic and mostly marine environments. They have a certain feature called cnidocytes, which are specialized cells that are used mainly for capturing prey. Most of the bodies of cnidarians are also

made up of a jelly-like substance called mesoglea. Many prey on animals from the size of a plankton to organisms multiple times larger than themselves. In this picture, I am with a Man o' war jellyfish, which is in the cnidaria phylum.
