Science Fair

I have my board and my topic, i just need to complete the papers that will go up on the board....

My plant on the first day 7.4.2010

Vascular Plant tissue

Vascular plant tissue: These are also known as tracheophytes or higher plants, and they are those plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water, minerals, and photosynthetic products through the plant. The plant in this picture is an example oa vascular plant.

Pollen: This is a fine to coarse powder which contain the microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce the male gametes. Insects such as bees carry pollen from flowers and use it for their food.

Meristem

Meristem: This is the undifferentiated plant tissue from which new cells are formed, as that at the tip of a stem or root. The meristem is in all plants.

Lepidoptera

Lepidoptera: This is a large order of insects that includes moths and butterflies. It is one of the most specious orders in the world. The butterfly in this picture is an example of a lepidoptera.

Haploid Chromosome Number

Haploid Chromosome Number: This is the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell, half the diploid number (one pair). The moss in this picture is an example of a haploid.

Gametophyte

Gametophyte: This is the multicellular phase of plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations. Examples of plants that undergo this phase are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. The moss in this picture undergoes the gametophyte phase.

Exoskeleton

Exoskeleton: This is an external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body. Examples of animals with exoskeletons are shrimp, beetles, grasshoppers, crabs, and ants.

Epithelial Tissue

Epithelial Tissue: This is a membranous tissue that covers internal organs and other internal surfaces of the body. Skin is an example of epithelial tissue.

Deciduous leaf

Deciduous Leaf: A deciduous plant is a type of plant that falls off or sheds at a particular season or stage of growth. This leaf came from a deciduous plant.

Cellulose

Cellulose: This is an inert carbohydrate (a carbohydrate that has little or no ability to react) (C6 H10 O5). It is mainly obtained from wood pulp and cotton, and is used to produce paperboard and paper. This tree is an example of where cellulose can be obtained from.

Batesian mimicry

Batesian mimicry: This is the protective resemblance in appearance of a palatable or harmless species, to an unpalatable or dangerous species, that is usually avoided by predators. This type of mimicry is very common in butterflies and other animals (such as frogs and snakes).

Bryophyte

Bryophytes: These type of plants are the only land plants whose life history includes a dominant gametophyte stage (stage in which gametes are produced). The moss on the tree is an example of a bryophyte.

Lipids used for energy storage

Lipids used for energy storage: Lipids are a broad group of naturally occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids,e.t.c. The bottle of vegetable oil in this picture is an example of a lipid used for energy storage.

Long-Day Plants

Long-Day Plants: Long-day plants are those that require a long period of exposure to light each day in order to produce flowers. Examples of these types of plants include beet, radish, and lettuce. The lettuce in this picture is an example of a long-day plant.

Adaptation of an animal

Adaptation of an animal: This picture shows how animals can easily adapt to almost any habitat. This picture shows a beehive that was built by bees in between the doors of a house.

Animal that has a segmented body

Animal that has a segmented body: This picture shows a firefly. The firefly's body is segmented into three parts.

Pine cone- Female

Pine cone- Female: The female cones tend to be more rigid and long lasting than the male pine cone. They also don't provide polllen, but are rather the receptors of pollen. The female cones are those which eventually will release the resultant seed of the fertilization. This is an example of a female pine cone.

Gymnosperm cone

Gymnosperm cone: A gymnosperm is a vascular plant that has seeds that are not enclosed in ovaries (naked seeds). This is an example of a gymnosperm cone.
