Pollen

Pollen is the fertilizing element of flowering plants that consists of fine, yellow grains in the masses. Pollen is found on the inside of a flower on the anthers, pictured here in a flower outside my house.

Connective Tissue

Connective tissue is tissue that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs. A perfect example of connective tissue is elbow skin, mine pictured from my house. 

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction is the reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Plants reproduce asexually. The beautiful flowers pictured outside my house would not exist without the possibility of asexual reproduction.

Vestigial Structures

Vestigial structures are function-less organs or body parts of organisms that were once useful to their ancestors. In my drawing of a whale, I portray the spine and the femur and pelvic bones of the whale. Although once useful in the past, whales have no need for the femur and pelvic bones anymore, making them vestigial structures.

Vascular Plant

A vascular plant is one that has lignified tissues to carry water, nutrients, and minerals throughout the plant. The plant pictured outside my house has visible lines that are the lignified tissues used by the plant to distribute the necessary components to survive.

Tropism

Tropism is the orientation of an organism by growth rather than movement toward an outside stimulus. Blocked by a shadow, the plant pictured outside my house grows outward rather than straight up in order to receive the necessary sunlight for its survival.

Protein

A protein is a organic molecule made of 20 or more amino acids found in various food sources as a vital and necessary diet component for nonsynthesising living organisms. Protein can be found in chicken, pictured here from my kitchen already skinned and prepared for human consumption in order to provide those necessary diet components for survival.
