- Most monocot plants (herbaceous plants) are annual plants and tend to be thinner than woody (dicot plant) stems. They're usually softer, more bendable and greener. The stem dies down to soil level at the end of a season. Monocot plants are often referred to as herbaceous plants. Both monocots and dicots are flowering plants, but monocots have parallel leaf veins, one cotyledon, flowers in multiples of three and no cortex. Grass is an example of a monocot plant.

1. Monocot plant with flower & leaf
2. Auxin producing area of a plant
- Auxin is a plant hormone found in the tip of the stem. Auxins are usually defined by their ability to induce cell elongation in stems, although they can also affect other processes. In other words, they are what cause the plant to form leaves and exhibit photo tropism. All leafy plants have this hormone.
4. Xylem
- The vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
5. Vascular plant
- A plant that is characterized by the presence of conducting tissue.
- The tissue in vascular plants that circulates fluid and nutrients. There are two kinds of vascular tissue: xylem, which conducts water and nutrients up from the roots, and phloem, which distributes food from the leaves to other parts of the plant
6. Arthropod
- An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages
8. Connective tissue
- Tissue that connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs, typically having relatively few cells embedded in an amorphous matrix, often with collagen or other fibers, and including cartilaginous, fatty, and elastic tissues.
9. Batesian Mimicry
- Mimicry in which an edible animal is protected by its resemblance to a noxious one that is avoided by predators.

- A plant hormone that promotes leaf detachment, induces seed and bud dormancy, and inhibits germination. Its role in the abscission of plant leaves. In preparation for winter, ABA is produced in terminal buds. This slows plant growth and directs leaf primordia to develop scales to protect the dormant buds during the cold season.

13. Adaptation of an animal
- A mutation, or genetic change, That Helps an organism,: such as a plant or animals , survive in Its environment. It's Helpful Due to the nature of the mutation, it is passed down from one generation to the next.
- A dog’s whiskers are actually highly tuned, multi-functional, sensitive sensory hairs they need and use every day to perform specific functions that help them move around.
15. Amylase
- An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion.

19. Endotherm
- an animal that is dependent on or capable of the internal generation of heat; a warm-blooded animal.
20. Fermentation
- the process of fermentation involved in the making of beer, wine, and liquor, in which sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol.

21. Radical symmetry
- organism in which a vertical cut through the axis in any of two or more produces two of the same image. In this picture there is a lemon cut in half, it had radical symmetry. Once cut it looked like the other half and if cut again.
22. Bryophyte
- a small flowerless green plant of the division Bryophyta, which comprises the mosses and liverworts.
23. Adaptation of a plant
- A mutation, or genetic change, That Helps an organism,: such as a plants or animals , survive in Its environment. It's Helpful Due to the nature of the mutation, it is passed down from one generation to the next.

24. Cuticle layer of plant
- The cuticle is the waxy coating on the uppermost surface of this leaf, the picture of the leaf is composed of layers and its shiny, the cuticle help the plant from water lost.
25. Scale with animal with two chambered heart

26. Exoskeleton
- An Exoskeleton is an outer covering that some animals have that protect them in a casing. This is an example of such an exoskeleton.
27. Basidiomycete

29. Enzyme
- A chemical produced by cells to speed up specific chemical reaction. This picture shows an apple turning brown, which is releasing the enzyme.
30. C4 Plant
- A type of plant that uses a specific photosynthesis mechanism (C4 photosynthesis) in order to avoid photorespiration (a wasteful reaction that occurs when plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide, instead of taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen).
31. Flower Ovary
- In the flowering plants, an ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or gynoecium. Specifically, it is the part of the pistil which holds the ovule(s) and is located above or below or at the point of connection with the base of the petals and sepals.
33. Fruit - dry with seed
- Dry fruits can be divided into those in which the seeds are contained in a seedpod of some sort which opens to release the seeds (called Dehiscent), and those in which there isn't a seedpod which opens (Indehiscent).
