This is a picture of my mother's arm. The skin on her arm is a type of tissue known as epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue's function is to cover the whole body to protect it. The skin acts as a barrier between the outer world and our bodies. It protects the body from all of the harmful germs and bacteria from entering the body, keeping humans strong and healthy.

K-Strategist
This is a picture of mom and my pet dog. Both of these mammals are perfect examples of K-strategists. K-strategists are animals that have few offspring at a time and take care of their offspring after giving birth to them. Mothers normally care for their children until they are around the age of 18, and dogs nurture their puppies until they are sure they are ready to live without their milk. K-strategists take good care of their young, making humans and dogs great examples of them
Arthropod / Chitin
This is a picture of a dead cockroach. This insect is considered to be an arthropod. The cockroach has bilateral symmetry, a segmented body, a hard exoskeleton that is composed of chitin, jointed legs, and many pairs of limbs. All of these characteristics define what an arthropod is, forcing the cockroach to be an arthropodfile

Eubacteria
This is a picture of raw beef that I found at my local supermarket. Before this meat is cooked, there are all types of bacteria lingering in it. One kind found in raw meat particularly is E.coli. E. coli is one of the few types of eubacteria that is unsafe for the body. It can cause infections that can ultimately lead to death. E. coli, because they are eubacteria, are aerobic prokaryotic unicellular organisms that inhabit many parts of the body, generally being safe, but in the case of raw meat, are harmful.
C4 Plant
This is a corn plant. C4 plants are plants in which CO2 is fixed into a compound containing four carbon atoms before entering photosynthesis. C4 plants are well-adapted to normally unfavorable environments, like those with high temperatures, intense sunlight, lack of rain, and lack of CO2 ability. Corn has all of these qualities, which allows it to be one of the most widely used grains and plants for food processing today.
Coelomate
These are parakeets that can be found at PetSmart. These birds are coelomates because of the fact that they have a body cavity, which is also known as the central gut. Because the parakeets are vertebraes, their internal body cavity is suspended by connective tissue in the middle of their bodies. This is the definition of a coelomate, thus making the parakeets that.
Auxin Producing Area of Plant
This is a picture of a flower in the gardening section at Lowe's. The auxin producing area of the plant is found right another the beautiful petals of the flower. Auxin is a hormone that is made by plants in areas where a new root or shoot is growing. When the plant wants to grow more flowers, auxin will be produced by shoots that sprout out and a new flower will arrive.
