Rose flowers contain both male stamen and female stigma. In this situation, the egg can be fertilized by pollen from the same flower.]]> 2016-07-31 22:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252552 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252588 An Ectotherm is an organism that relies on environmental heat sources to regulate temperature. Ectotherms cannot regulate heat sufficiently enough internally to maintain stability. This is typically why most lizards are found in hot or warm climates . By moving in and out of sunlight, lizards can keep their body temperature at a steady level through the day.]]> 2016-07-31 22:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252588 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252629 A Kingdom is the highest rank used in the biological taxonomy.Conventionally there are six kingdoms which include : Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, and Eubacteria.Scientists often debate how many kingdoms there are, but most agree on six. Other countries outside of the United States may use a five Kingdom system, however. Every living creature on  Earth belongs to a kingdom. The Plant picture below belongs to the Kingdom Plantae. The feline pictured to the right is a member of Kingdom Animalia, which contains the most complex organisms on the planet.]]> 2016-07-31 22:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252629 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252700 2016-07-31 22:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252700 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252732 In general, the living organisms in an ecosystem are called biotic factors. Living things include plants, animals, bacteria, and more. Pictured below are lily pads in a nearby lake. The non living parts of an ecosystem are the abiotic factors. They include sunlight, pH of water, temperature, and more. The rocks just under the surface of the water and the pH of the water are the abiotic factors pictured below.]]> 2016-07-31 22:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252732 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252774 Ginger grows from a swollen root section known as a rhizome.A rhizome is a subterranean stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots from its nodes.The plant uses the rhizome to store starches and other nutrients. Ginger rhizomes multiply during the summer growing season so you can harvest some roots while leaving the rest of the plant to grow.]]> 2016-07-31 22:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252774 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252793 Lobsters belong to a group of animals known as arthropods. Arthropods have the traits of invertebrates, an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. You can see in the photo that lobsters have a repeated series of segments that make up its whole body.]]> 2016-07-31 22:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252793 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117252827 A population is the number of individuals of a particular species in an area. Populations depend on availability of resources, which are typically referred to as limiting factors.

The Style is the long tube which connects the stigma and ovule.]]> 2016-08-01 02:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117270322 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117270395 Scavenger fish are bottom feeders that eat floating debris, dead fish, and algae that forms in a body of water. Scavengers are crucial to the environment in which they live in mainly because they help keep it clean. The fish pictured below is a species of Plecostomus, a sucker mouth catfish that is part of the armored catfish family.]]> 2016-08-01 02:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117270395 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117270461 An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that protects the body of an animal. Crabs exoskeletons contain rigid and resistant components that fulfill a set of functional roles including excretion, sensing, and support. They also provide framework for muscle to attach to. A long chain polymer called Chitin is what makes the crabs shell harder and stronger.]]> 2016-08-01 02:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/owtt47slihl7/wish/117270461
