A Ecosystem

A ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. I took a picture of this lake that was surrounded with water weeds, trees, and wildlife because its an example of a ecosystem. 

A Gymnosperm

A Gymnosperm is a seed that develops either on the surface of scales or leaves, often modified to form cones, or at the end of short stalks as in Ginkgo. I took a picture with this pinecone because its an example of a gymnosperm. 

Growth Rings

Growth Rings are a concentric layer of wood, shell, or bone developed during an annual or other regular period of growth. I took a picture with this piece of wood because it has growth rings in the center of it.

Mutualism


Mutualism is when two organisms of different species "work together," each benefiting from the relationship. I tried to take a picture of a bee on a flower as a example of mutalism because the bee uses the flower for pollen. (I tried to get as closer as possible without getting stung).

Moss

Moss is a small flowerless green plant that lacks true roots, growing in low carpets or rounded cushions in damp habitats and reproducing by means of spores released from stalked capsules. I took a picture with this moss that was found in a lake (my face was ugly so I had to cross it out :).
