Biology Scavenger Hunt Pt.2

Red Team!Brett, Taylor, James, Justin

A taproot= 2 ptsRoots go straight down, and spread out along the center.

An organism with a type 2 survivorship curve= 2 ptsType 2 survivorship curves do not happen often in nature, but they usually occur in species of large birds.

A drupe= 1 ptA drupe is a type of fruit . Drupes have a fleshy outer part that surrounds a shell of endocarp with a seed inside, like the pit of a peach.

An aggregate fruit= 1 ptRaspberries are aggregate fruits! Aggregate fruits from single flowers that have multiple carpels which are not joined together. The raspberry follows these guidelines.

A tertiary consumer= 1 ptThe sign says it eats plants. (primary producer), insects (primary consumer), and lizards (secondary consumer)

Secondary consumer= 1 ptEats smaller animals

Thigmotropism= 2 ptsMovement in which an organism grows in response to touch or stimuli; Occurs when plants grow around a surface such as a pot or wall. Climbing plants display thigmotropism.

Food Web= 2 ptsLion eats duiker and bird and deerBear eats fishDuiker eats grassBird eats turtle, and fishTurtle eats grassDeer eat grassFish eats grass

Grass gets energy from sun

Carpel or pistil= 2 ptsThe carpel or pistil of the flower is the female reproductive organ of a flower; relatively large and contains stigma, style, and ovary.

A community= 2 ptsInteracting organisms

Stamen= 2 ptsMale reproductive organ of the flower, has the stalk or filament and the head or anther.

FILAMENT

ANTHER

Bryophyte= 1 ptMoss is a common bryophyte

Seed Dispersal by Wind or Water= 1 ptThis shows the main cactus plant, and all of the mini cactuses starting to pop out of the ground on the ground beside it and nearby.

Reptile= 1 ptAn iguana is a reptile (personal item is circled). Scales, lungs, 3 chamber heart, etc…

A Natural Animal Mutation= 2 ptsThis is an albino claw frog, and albinism is caused by a mutation of several genes.

Regular color

A detritivore= 2 ptsEarthworms are detritivores, which are hetertrophs that obtain nutrients from decomposing organic matter.

Symbiosis= 1 pt Symbiosis is the living together of unlike organisms from which both organisms benefit. The clownfish and the sea anemone represent symbiosis.

Member of Porifera= 2 ptsThe sea sponge is a member of porifera.

Member of Echinodermata= 2 ptsThe starfish is a member of echinodermata.

Soil erosion= 1 ptThe soil at the water’s edge is being swept away by the water, hence soil erosion.

Amphibian= 1 ptToads are amphibians; cold-blooded, juvenile water-breathing from to adult air-breathing form, etc…

An arachnid= 1 ptThe Goliath Bird Eater is a spider, not to mention the biggest spider in the world! Spiders are arachnids because they have 8 legs.

A mollusk= 1 ptSnails are gastropods, which are in the phylum of Mollusca, and are some of the most classified species in Mollusca.

Mimicry= 1 ptThis harmless snake mimics the pattern of a deadly venomous snake as a technique for defense against predators.

Member of Cnidaria= 2 ptsJellyfish are definitely a member of cnidaria!

An omnivore= 1 ptThe kinkajou is an omnivore, meaning it can eat plants and meat.

Reproductive structure of a plant= 1 ptThe stamens are the male reproductive organs of the flower.

Monocot flower= 1 ptMonocot flowers have petals in multiples of 3, this flower has 6 petals.

Ascomycote= 2 ptsYeast is used for fermentation for alcohol in beer, and yeast is an ascomycote.

A nonrenewable resource= 1 ptOnce this is all used up it will not be possible to produce it anymore.

Habitat fragmentation= 1 ptThe road is splitting the habitat apart.

Cryptic coloration= 1 ptCamouflage into one another

Seed dispersal by animals= 1 ptBirds eat seeds and when they are digging around for them some may drop, hence seed dispersal.

Predation= 1 ptPredation is a biological interaction where a predator goes after it’s prey. This is a spider in it’s web with a small moth wrapped up in the web down to the left. The predator is the spider and the moth is the prey.

*Paper behind web because with the plants behind the spider web, you couldn’t see the spider or the moth!

Two different life stages of the same organism= 2 ptsOne turtle is a full-grown adult, the other is still a premature adult

Phototropism= 2 ptsThe bald Cypress grows toward the light, and spreads out it’s leaves to collect more sunlight.

Tepal= 2 ptsTepal is the outer part of the flower, includes the petal

Natural Carbohydrate= 2 ptsPlants produce glucose, a carbohydrate.

Gravitropism= 2 ptsStems grow in the opposite direction of the gravitational pull

An organism with radial symmetry= 2 ptsCircular design

A gymnosperm= 1 ptNeedles, coniferophyta, no flowers

An example of asexual reproduction= 2 pts When the wind blows, the seeds from the flower fall on the ground and grow and reproduce.

Zygomycote= 2 ptsBread mold is classified as a zygomycote.

A sporophyte and gametophyte= 2 ptsA fern undergoes alternation of generations. You can see the spores on the underside of the plant.

Male Pine Cone= 2 ptsSmaller, doesn’t contain all the seeds

Female Pine Cone= 2 ptsLarger, fatter, contains seeds

Bacillus= 2 ptsChain-like bacterial patterns (Taken during class)

Spirillum= 2 ptsSpiral-shaped bacteria(Taken during Class)
