Image # 1 Adaptation of a Plant(2)- Thorns are an adaptation of a rose bush. This adaptation helps to prevent animals from getting to close and helps certain rose bushes hang onto vegetation when growing over other plants.

Image #2 CAM Plant(19)- A cactus is an example of a CAM plant. Cacti avoid photorespiration during photosynthesis by taking in CO2 and combining it with PEP during the night and in the morning the stomata close reducing the amount of oxygen diffusing into the plant. Then the CO2 is taken to the Calvin cycle where it does not need to compete with oxygen thus reducing photorespiration. This allows cacti to live with high daytime temperatures.

Image #3 Long Day Plant(61)-This clover is an example of a Long day plant. Long day plants bloom during the late spring/early summer as the days are longer during that time period. They bloom during the long days as they require lots of sunlight to thrive.

Image #4 Epithelial tissue(33)- My skin is made up of epithelial tissue. It protects the inside of the body from the outside world and it is also involved in sensory perception and secretion. Epithelial tissue can also be found lining organs and the body cavity and it is always tightly packed together and separated from other tissues by a basement layer.

Image #5 Flower Ovary(39)- This peach is an example of a ripened ovary of an angiosperm. The fruit contains seeds from the angiosperm and is responsible for dispersal of the seeds.
