16. Vestigial structures: Vestigial structures are structures that do not serve a purpose, yet are still there. The photo above is of my ear, an ear with muscles that are vestigial. In humans, these muscles have no function.

15. Unicellular organism: Unicellular organisms have one cell. The photo above shows a picture of bread, bread that contains yeast. Yeast is an example of a unicellular organism since it is a eukaryote

14. Long Day Plant: A long-day plant is a plant the does not need a lot of hours of darkness. These plants tend to thrive in the summer.The photo above is of lettuce, an example of a long-day plant.

13. Tropism: is a positive or negative reaction to a stimulus source. Here the plant is bending towards the sun (stimulus source).

12. Lipid: A fatty or waxy organic compound that is soluble in nonpolar solvent but not in polar solvent (water). This oil is not soluble in water.

11. glycogen: Glycogen is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) that is stored in the liver and muscles of animals. When the time arrives, this glycogen will get converted to glucose. The grass my bunny is eating will soon become glycogen.

10. Rhizome:An underground stem which can send out both shoots and roots (basically a root), and in this photo, there is a root.

9. Pollen: is the powdery mass of microspores shed from anthers. Here you can see in this photo above, there is a little bit of pollen.

8. ATP: Its functions are for intracellular energy transport for various metabolic processes. The photo above is of a flower, a flower that is going through the calvin cycle and therefore using ATP.
