Basidiomycetes are commonly characterized by their filament structures and stalks. The most common example of basidiomycetes are mushrooms which can be found in damp areas. The mushroom pictured below was found in my own backyard.]]> 2017-07-16 14:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791677 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791741 There are many many modifications a plant may make over generations to adapt and better survive in their environment. These modifications may be the color, size, or even shape of the leaves that the plant forms. The plant below exemplifies the modification in which the leaf forms spines to avoid being eaten by large organisms.]]> 2017-07-16 14:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791741 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791752 Parasitism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits, and the other suffers. The poison ivy vine on this oak tree is an excellent example of parasitism. While the vine grows along the tree, it also steals nutrients through tendrils from the tree for itself.]]> 2017-07-16 14:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791752 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791877 Non-woody plants are made up mainly of parenchyma cells. The parenchyma tissue in plants can be used for many different purposes like photosynthesis, storage, and transport within the plant's xylem and phloem. This picture shows a non-woody plant and the parenchyma cells would be located in the stem. ]]> 2017-07-16 15:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791877 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791953 The phloem is the series of tissues in a plant that transport nutrients from the leaves down to the rest of the plant. Much of the phloem is made up of filaments and tubes used to transport down the plant. The stem is where most of the nutrients are transported up and down and the picture shows the stem and a cut portion where you can see the small tubes within the stem. ]]> 2017-07-16 15:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178791953 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792024 2017-07-16 15:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792024 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792102 Pollen is a necessary part of a plants reproductive system and is used in both gymnosperms and angiosperms. In gymnosperms, the pollen is formed in the male cones. In angiosperms, like the dandelion below, the pollen is produced in the anther. The pollen can be spread by pollinators such as bees or the wind. ]]> 2017-07-16 15:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792102 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792103 A pollinator is an organism that aids the plant in sexual reproduction by moving the pollen from the anther to the stigma of the plant, or to other plants. Bees are probably the most common pollinators and without them, plants would have much more difficulty reproducing. ]]> 2017-07-16 15:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792103 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792115 Predation is the relationship between a predator and it's prey. The predator is often better equipped to hunt and feed on the prey species. The picture below shows the spider(predator), it's hunting method(web), and the prey stuck in the web. ]]> 2017-07-16 15:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792115 jakobmakover https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792117 2017-07-16 15:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jakobmakover/w6k16rt3v74n/wish/178792117
