EC 1. Xylem: Xylem is found throughout the plant and its basic function is the transport of water. The best known xylem tissue is wood.

EC 2. Cambium: Cambium is the source of both xylem and phloem in a plant, and is located between the two.

EC 3. Parasite: A parasite is something that feeds on other living organisms, shown here is the effect of a parasite on a tomato in my back yard.

EC 4. Adaptation of a plant: This plant has adapted to its environment by growing around this rail, which allows it to absorb more sunlight, necessary for photosynthesis, than it would on the ground.

EC 5. Mutualism: In mutualism, both involved parties benefit, in this case, the butterfly gets food, and the flower is able to reproduce via pollination caused by the butterfly.

EC 6. Sporophyte: In most plants, the sporophyte makes up the whole body of the plant, excluding the pollen.

EC 7. Rhizome: A rhizome is a horizontal underground root, show here is an iris root, which would usually be underground, and horizontal. But, i had to dig it up to take the picture. Sorry.

EC 8. Annelid: Annelids are a large phylum of segmented worms, including this earthworm.

EC 9. Protostome: This earthworm is a protostome, a group of animals with bilateral symmetry.

EC 10. Porifera: The sponge show here belongs to the phylum porifera, which means "pore-bearer"

EC 11. Pollinator: As butterflies land on flowers to feed, pollen from the male anthers adheres to their appendages, sticking while they fly to different flowers, then landing on the female stigma of the new flower, thus pollinating the second plant.

EC 12. Phloem: Phloem is the innermost layer of bark in a tree, used to transport nutrients, particularly sucrose, to all parts of the plant.

EC 13. Hermaphrodite: This snail is an example of a hermaphrodite, because it has both male and female reproductive organs.

EC 14. Fungus: This is an example of fungus on a stump.

EC 15. Mycelium: Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, used to decompose plant material.

EC 16. Lepidoptera: This butterfly is a member of the order lepidoptera, which includes most moths and butterflies.

EC 17. Heartwood: Heartwood is a portion of the tree trunk that has gone through a process to make it more resistant to decay, heartwood always looks different from the surrounding, still living section of the trunk, here it is the more reddish section in the center.

EC 18. Cellulose: Cellulose is the primary component in the cell wall of green plants, and can be seen here in the new leaves of this maple tree.

EC 19. Commensalism: This lichen on a swing is an example of commensalism because the lichen benefits, and the wood is unaffected.

EC 20. Amniotic Egg: A chicken egg is amniotic because it has a calcium based shell and large yolk, enabling it to survive in drier environments.

1. Animal With A Segmented Body: This fly has a segmented body consisting of the head, thorax, and abdomen.

2. Anther And Filament Of A Stamen: The stamen is the male reproductive organ of flowers, the long part of the stamen is called the filament and on top of that is the anther, where the pollen is.

3. Arthropod: This butterfly is an example of an arthropod because an arthropod is an invertebrate with an exoskeleton, jointed appendages, and a segmented body, and the butterfly has all of these traits.

4. Autotroph: This apple and apple tree is an example of an autotroph because it produces its own food by photosynthesis.

5. Auxin Producing Area Of A Plant: Auxin is a hormone in plants produced in new leaves and meristems. Shown is a young maple leaf.

6. Lichen: This is a picture of lichen living on a log in the woods behind my house.

7. Bryophyte: Bryophytes are non vascular and have neither flowers nor seeds. They reproduce by spores instead, this moss is an example of a bryophyte.

8. Chitin: The exoskeleton of this butterfly is made of chitin.

9. Conifer Leaf: This spruce is a conifer and these are its leaves.

10. Cuticle Layer Of A Plant: the cuticle layer of a plant is the waxy covering over the leaves, seen here on the leaves of the rubber plant on my front porch.

11. Deciduous Leaf: This maple leaf is deciduous because maple trees lose all their leaves seasonally, which is what all deciduous trees do.

12. Deuterostome: This chicken, like all other birds, is a deuterostome. The blur on the left is my army man, i couldnt get it focused, sorry guys.

13. Dicot Plant With Leaf And Flower: this flower (with the army man on top of it) is dicot because its leaves are a multiple of five and the veins in its leaves are reticulated and branched.

14. Diploid Chromosome Number: All body cells in humans have a diploid chromosome number, the cells in my hand included.

15. Endotherm: My dog Lily is an endotherm because she regulates her own body temperature by homeostasis.

16. Epithelial Tissue: Epithelial tissue makes up the skin and covers the whole body. It is shown here on my hand.

17. Eukaryote: Michaela is a Eukaryote because her cells each have a nucleus and organelles.

18. Exoskeleton: Butterflies have a chitinous covering over their whole body called an exoskeleton.

19. Flower Ovary: This is an example of a flower with an inferior ovary, where the ovary is not visible. In flowers with this type of ovary, instead of having it inside the flower it is right below the flower, you can see the slightly thicker part of the stem in the picture where the ovary is.

20. Frond: This potted fern in my house has fronds, which are large divided leaves.

21. Fruit - Dry With Seeds: This pea is an example of a dry fruit with seeds. It has no fleshy part, the seeds are just sitting inside the empty, dry interior of the pea.

22. Fruit - Fleshy With Seeds: blackberries (trust me they're blackberries, these just weren't ripe)

are a simple fleshy fruit with seeds.

23. Gametophyte: In moss the gametophyte is the commonly known phase of the plant. The plant undergoes mitosis and produces male and female haploid gametes. The fusion of these produce a diploid zygote.

24. Gymnosperm Cone: This is a hemlock cone, hemlocks are a species of gymnosperms.

25. Insect: Butterflies are insects because they have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three part body, three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and

two antenna, traits that are found in all insects.

26. Keratin: hair, nails, claws, shells, and scales are all made of keratin. I took a picture of the one i had easiest access to.

27. K Strategist: Humans are K strategists because they live a long life, have a larger body size than R strategists, and produce fewer offspring that require extensive care.

28. Stem - Woody: This tree has a woody stem that supports it and allows it to grow from this above ground stem every year, making it taller and taller.

29. Tendril Of A Plant: This garden pea's tendrils are used for support and attachment while climbing things it is growing on.

30. Thorn Of A Plant: This vine has thorns used for protection.
