Scavenger Hunt Week 6

Have you guys ever heard the expression, "better late than never"? That really applies to me right now. For whatever reason, I forgot to post but here they are guys. Please enjoy, as you always do.

This first picture shows a pair of analagous structures. The hawk and the dragon fly both have wings but lack a common ancestor. While both structures perform a similar structure, they operate differently because they did not originate from the same thing.



Olive oil is a hydrophobic substance. When particles of olive oil are thrown into water, the 2 substances immediately separate. Hydrophobic substances will not mix with water.



This bear head that hangs on my wall (and is not real) has bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry occurs when something can be divided in half down the middle and is the same on each side. My father has used this bear to scare me since the age of 2.



In this picture of Carrollton, you can see many people gathered in town. The population of Carrollton is somewhere in the ballpark of 22,000. In biology terms, population refers to all the inhabitants of a particular environment; people, animals, etc.



This cactus is a CAM plant. CAM plants are classified as such because of certain adaptations they possess that allow them to survive in intensely arid habitats.


Guys, these are this week's pictures. I hope you enjoy them. I will be posting again in a couple of days.
