Scavenger Hunt Post 8

I think I'm done?

This is a picture from Hawaii, it is a tropical biome

 These palm trees have adapted to glow. Not really, but if they had it would be an adaptation of a plant. Adaptations are specific features an organism develops to better suit living in their environment.

This is a type of fungus called alder bracket growing on a tree stump. Fungus is eukaryotic.  A eukaryote contains a nucleus and other organelles enclosed in a membrane. 

This is a plant in its sporophyte phase. This is when the plant is younger or goes through a time where it is not flowering.

This leaf is hydrophobic. Do you see the water droplets on it? The water is being repelled from soaking into the leaf by the leaf's waxy cuticle layer.
