Scavenger Hunt #1 Amanda W.



Photo 1: Homeostasis- Homeostasis is controlled by the temperature of the body. When a person's body temperature is lowered to 91 degrees Fahrenheit they suddenly develope hypothermia. This is an example of an uncontrolled homeostasis. I used a thermometer at 85 degrees Fahrenheit to symbolize the uncontrolled homeostasis.


 Photo 2: Pollinator- A bee is an example of a pollinator because they transfer pollen from an anther to the stigma of the flower.


 Photo 3: Autotroph- Bermuda Grass is an example of an autotroph. An autotroph developes energy by photosynthesis and also produces food for themselves.


 Photo 4: Heterotroph- My dog Molly is an example of a hetertroph becuase she can not produce food for herself. Heterotrophs are the predators.


Photo 5: ATP- Adenosine Triphosphate is used as a source of energy for many metabolic processes. It is found in the mitochondria of plants and animal cells. Muscle contraction which is what my leg is supposed to look like is one of the many metabolic processes. Side note:(As you can see I still have a dancer foot Mrs. Lory, some what, but not the calf muscles anymore!:) Sad day haha!)
