Batesian Mimicry

1. Batesian Mimicry

 

 

 

The picture shows a hover fly. The hoverfly is an example of batesian mimicry. Batesian mimicry is shown when an organism has evolved to mimic another harmful organism. This is used to make predators not want to mess with them. Other examples of this is, viceroy butterfly, milk snakes and king snakes.

The mushroom releases spores which then become new mushrooms but are not needing another mushroom in order to produce. Other examples of asexual reproduction are, jellyfish, coral and tapeworm.

Hydrophilic

3. Hydrophilic

 

 

 

The picture shows a root. The root is hydrophilic, meaning that it absorbs or mixes well with water. The root absorbs water for the plant. Hydrophilic substances can be found all over the planet. Examples of hydrophilic "things" are, sponges, sugar, and cloth.

The picture shows ivy. The ivy is showing a modified root. The modified root on the ivy is used to grab on to other plants. Modified roots can be found in plants in water and on land. Other examples can include, poison ivy, sea weed, and mistletoe. 

Hydrophobic

5. Hydrophobic

The picture shows the cuticle layer of a plant. This is an example of a hydrophobic substance. Hydrophobic substances do not mix well with water nor will they absorb water. These substances can be found all over the world. Examples of hydrophobic substances would be sand, wax or oil.

Cuticle Layer of a Plant

6. Cuticle Layer of a Plant

The picture shows a Mandeville plant. This shows a cuticle layer. The cuticle layer is a wax-like substance that is hydrophobic meaning that it does not mix with water. The purpose of this is to keep in the plants moisture. This can be found in plants on land and in water. Other examples would be sea weed, oak tree, and grass.

Frond

7. Frond

The picture above shows a frond. A frond is a leaf made up of smaller leaf or divided into smaller parts. These types of plants can be found in water and on land. Other examples would be different species of fern, seaweed, and palm trees.
