Scavenger Hunt # 3

This sand dollar is an example of radial symmetry. Radial Symmetry means that the organism can be divided into similar parts from a central axis. Cutting from one side through the middle to the other side would result in two equal halves.
 These strawberries contain enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are a special kind of catalyst.
This palm tree contains fronds. Fronds are a modified leaf. Fronds have petioles, which are the stem of the leaves. 

 This bird is eukaryotic. This means that its cells are more complex, including membranes and a nucleus. These cells also include a mitochondria and the Golgi Aparatus.
This plant is an example of an autotroph. An autotroph is an organism that produces their own food and energy. This plant uses photosynthesis to produce the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. There are three divisions of autotrophs: phototrophs, lithotrophs, or chemotrophs.
