9. Heterotroph

This is my dog and she is an example of a heterotroph. She is an organism which depends on an external supply of complex organic substances for nutrition. Since she cannot carry out the process of photosynthesis or retain her own food source, feeding her is necessary.

8. Fermentation

6. Connective Tissue

This ear is an example of connective tissue. Connective tissue is a framework of fibers that holds various body structures together; cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.

5. Carbohydrates

Bilateral symmetry is a basic body plan in which the left and right sides of the organism can be divided into approximate mirror images of each other along the midline. This leaf shows two symmetrical sides both left and right of the midline.

3.Basidiomycete

This is a mushroom, fungi, or basidiomycete. These are members of a group of fungi called Basidiomycotina, which includes mushrooms and puffballs. They produce spores that are formed on the outside of a special cell called the basidium.
