Scavenger Hunt: 36-40

40. Auxin Producing Area of a Plant
Auxin is a plant harmone that stimulates growth. Auxin moves only downward but gravity does not cause its movement. It is generally produced by apical shoot meristems and developing leaves.



39. Mating Behaivor
I was being "very careful" when I took this picture of "mating behaivor." Mating is a very essential process for all living organisms on this earth. In order to keep a species alive, mating is necessary. Many animals exhibit different mating behaivors.


38. Pollinator
Although it is hard to see the bee in this picture, it is an example of a pollinator. The bee is an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another.


37. Modified Root of a Plant
This carrot is considered to have a modified root. A modified root is the usual underground portion of a plant that lacks buds, leaves, etc. These include carrots, turnips, and beets.


36. Modified Stem of a Plant
Modified stems located below ground are bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers. This picture is an onion which is considered to be a bulb.
