Scavenger Hunt Post #1

The vocabulary word I used for this picture is Archaebacteria. Archaebacteria is a unicellular microorganism that live in EXTREME conditions, Places so extreme such as a volcano or a deep ocean. They don't need oxygen or or light to live. I chose to take a picture of a oven because I am nowhere near a extreme condition, so I thought that an oven can get up to a very high degree so that is extreme!

 The vocabulary word I used for this picture is Niche. Niche is the way of life of a species and how an organization or population responds to the distribution of resources. I chose to take a picture of a tomato because it is a resource that the population of the world uses. Tomatoes start out as a plant and they respond to the resources such as water and light, and use them to make tomatoes. Then the population (humans) respond with eating them.

The vocabulary word I used for this picture is Altruistic Behavior. Altruistic Behavior is the documented animal behavior where a animal sacrifices themselves for another animal. I took a picture of my sort of new puppy (Weezie) that is 4 months old and my lab (penny) that is about 5 years old. Penny acts like a mom to Weezie and sort of takes care of her.

The vocabulary word i chose for this picture is Adaptation of an animal. Adaptation of an animal is the features of a animal to help it survive. This picture is of a Daddy Long Leg. Their adaptations are it is brown so it can camouflage itself and it has thin legs and a small body which makes it hard to see them.

The vocabulary word i chose for the next two pictures is Xylem. Xylem is a type of transport tissue in vascular plants that transport water. Celery is a plant that has a xylem and you can see it very clearly. In biology a year ago we did a lab where you get a piece of celery and put it in colored water. When i was researching about xylems I thought that this would show the concept well!! The red water traveled up the xylems and you can see the red at the tip of the celery stick.
