C3 plant
This photo is an example of a C3 plant. A c3 plant is a plant that utilizes the C3 carbon fixation pathway as the sole mechanism to convert CO2 into an organic compound
Cellulose
This photo is an example of cellulose. Cellulose provides structure and strength to the cell walls of plants and provides fiber in our diets.
Dominant vs. Reccessive
This photo is an example of dominant and recessive genes. There are six puppies total, the dominant gene is tan lab face which 4 of them have, but the recessive gene is the black pit pull face which 2 of the puppies have.
Three ecosystems: Urban ecosystem
This photo is an example of a urban ecosystem.
Urban ecosystems is a man made town or city.
Evidence of different alleles for the same trait: Homozygous
This picture is an example of a Homozygous flower.
Homozygous means having identical pairs of genes.
Evidence of different alleles for the same trait : Heterozygous
This photo is an example of Heterozygous.
Heterozygous is when there are two different genes or traits.

Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic is when the substance can mix with water.
This photo shows how salt and water can mix together.
Hydrophobic
Hydrophobic substances are substances that do not mix with water.
In the photo water and oil do not mix so then two different layers form.
Pollinator
A pollinator is when an insect carries pollen from one flower/plant to another. The flower
above is an example of the types of flowers/plants that get pollinated.
Types of Proteins: Contractile Protein
This picture is an example of contractile protein. Contractile protein contains actin.
Actin is a globulin that is present in muscle plasma.
Different types of Proteins: Enzymatic Protein
This photo is an example of enzymatic protein. Enzymatic protein contains amylase.
Amylase is one of several digestive enzymes that break down starches, and is found in saliva.
Different types of Protein: Transport Protein
This photo is an example of transport protein. Transport protein contains hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is when the oxygen-carrying pigment of red blood cells, and that gives their red color and serves to convey oxygen to the tissue.
Types of Proteins: Storage Protein
This photo is an example of Storage Protein. Storage Protein contains ovalbumin.
Ovalbumin is the principal protein of egg white, they serve as an amino acid for developing embryos.
Types of Proteins: Structural Protein
This photo is an example of Structural protein. Structural Protein contains keratin.
Keratin is a scleroprotein or albuminoid substance, found in human hair.
