Scavenger Hunt Post #6




           1. Xylem - this is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants. Xylem itself means "wood". This is a picture of a tree.



         2.  Epithelial tissue - this is a membranous type of tissue that covers the outer layer of the body. Skin is a great example of this.




          3. Lichen - these are composite organisms consisting of a fungus and a photosynthetic partner growing together. This fungus growing on a tree is an example of a lichen.




        4. Pollen - this coarse powder that contains microspores that come off flowers. This is a picture of a flower.




           
        5. Connective Tissue - this type of tissue supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. Your knee is a good example of a part of your body containing connective tissue.
