Carnivore

The jaguar, like many jungle cats, is a carnivore.
(No other carnivores would let me get close enough.)

Omnivore

Most humans are omnivores. We eat meat and vegetables, if we choose to.

Herbivore

The Triceratops was an hebivore from long ago.
(No other herbivores would stay still for a photo.)

Epithelial Tissue

Multiple Fruit

Pineapples form when several separate blossoms are grouped together so that their maturing pistils grow together.

Aggregate Fruit


A strawberry plant has several pistils and the matured pistils stick, or "aggregate" together to form a strawberry.

Simple Fruit

Grapes, like simple fruits,  derive from flowers having just one pistil and are structured like a standard blossom.

Stamens

This photo makes it difficult to see, but these flowers have small stamens.

Topsoil

Invertebrates

Shrimps do not have back bones. Therefore, shrimps are invertebrates.

Fungi

Bacteria

Yogurt is made by adding thermophilus bacteria to milk and allowing it to ferment.

Kingdoms


This photo has something that represents 3 Kingdoms.
The fish represents Animalia, the plant represents Fungi, and the plant represents Plantae.

Vestigial organs

Humans no longer have any use or need for their smallest toe.

Heterotroph

Humans must consume other organisms in order to survive.

Autotroph

This plant does not rely on other organisms to supply it nutrients.

Photosynthesis

These leaves are healthy and green because the plant is going through photosynthesis.

Base

Baking soda reacts with acids, thus it is a base.

Acid

Lemons and lemon juice contain citric acid.

Carbon

Diamonds are formed when carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Thus, this diamond ring is an example of carbon.
