Cellular Respiration- set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP and then release waste products. In this picture I exhaled onto my glass sliding door. The glass fogged up from the condensation of the moisture in my breath.
Adaptation in an Animal- describes traits in animals that have allowed them to evolve with their surroundings. The paw of my friend's dog Georgie is a perfect example. His paw has adapted to his surroundings. It has gotten calloused to protect his paws from the rough, hot, and cold concrete where he usually walks on.
Parasitism- non mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. One organism is harmed which in the picture is the plant and the organism that benefits is the caterpillar, the parasite. As you can see these are plant leaves in my neighbor's garden which were destroyed by the parasite.
Eukaryote- organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. All eukaryotes have a nucleus. My mom is an example of a eukaryote since human cells all have a nucleus and are multicellular. This picture was taken at the park.
Calvin Cycle- takes place in the leaves of plants and converts carbon dioxide, NADPH, ATP, and water to glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate, hydrogen ions, NADP+, and ADP through carbon fixation. This specimen of leaves goes through the process of calvin cycle. I found them in our backyard.
Adaptation of a Plant- are special features that allow a plant to live in a particular place or habitat. This picture shows a plant that have air spaces in their stems that hold them up in the water. I found this specific plant at my aunt's pond.
Hydrophobic- lacking an affinity for water; insoluble in water; repelling water. This is a picture of pure olive oil that my mom uses for cooking.
