6. Seed Dispersal(84)- This dandelion is an example of seed dispersal by wind. These seeds are easily taken off the plant by wind and spread about, hopefully allowing the dandelion to reproduce.

7. Redox reaction(82)- This rusted chain shows a redox reaction in progress. Redox is a chemical process in which one substance is reduced(gains electrons) and one is oxidized(loses electrons. In rust Iron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. Fe+H20+02-->Fe203.

8. Gymnosperm cone(46)- The seeds of this gymnosperm pine tree are enclosed in these young cones. These seeds are exposed on the surfaces of the pine cone and can be dispersed by wind.

9. C3 Plant(17)-  This dogwood tree is a C3 plant meaning that it uses the C3 carbon fixation pathway in which rubisco is used to fix carbon. Rubisco is will combine with O2 or Co2 making C3 plants in hot weather areas susceptible to photorespiration. Rubisco turns Co2 into a 3 carbon molecule which is then brought into the calvin cycle in photosynthesis.

10.Anther and Filament of Stamen(7)- The stamen located in the middle of the flower is the male fertilizing organ(pollen) of a flower. The anther is the top part of the stamen and it contains pollen. The filament is the stalk of the stamen and it supports the anther of the stamen.
