Scavenger Hunt #8 Ansley Dieckmann

This moss reproduces asexually by a process called fragmentation. This means that pieces of the parent plant breaks off and grows on its own.

These roots have been modified to secure the tree in this mountain. These roots have to be thick and deep!



These stems have been modified for the specific functions of this plant. Some stems are modified into strange looking stems above or below ground.

These weeds represent a r-strategist organism. A r-strategist organism matures fast and usually has a short life span. There is a large population of these organisms but the numbers are often fluctuating. 

Humans represent k-strategist organisms. These organisms (for the most part) are the opposite of a r-strategist organism. K-strategist organisms normally have a longer life span and have a long period in which they mature.There is a stable population and environment for these organisms.
