Please write the answers with long sentences like essay form and answer the each living things with each number 1,2,3,and 4. Thank you.

Go to open area (part, etc.) and observe four different living organisms. For each organism observed, 1) tell what kind of organism you saw and describe what it was doing when you saw. 2) describe how each organism obtains energy/nourishment 3) describe how each organism has adaptations to avoid predation 4) describe how each kind of organism that you observed produces LARGE PLANT (over 5 feet tall) answer SMALL OLANT (under 1 foot tall) answer ARTHROPOD (insect, spider, pill bu etc. answer TETRAPOD (amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal) answer

Explanation / Answer

1. Pine is a conifer plant which belongs in the Pinus genus of the family Pinaceae. They are gymnosperms, yellow in colour with harder wood and two to three needles per fascicle. They are evergreen with about 10-260 feet tall in height. Needles are green and bundled in clusters called fascicles.When the shoot is damaged then the needle fascicles will generate bud to replace the lost leaves. Pine trees uses photosynthesis to create or obtain their own nourishment. Photosynthesis is the process where sunlight, water and carbon dioxide are taken by the pine tree and then converted into sugars and starches which are used as food energy. They have thick bark to protect against cold. Pine cones protect the seeds during harsh winter. The needles reduce the water loss. Pine trees reproduce by producing seeds. They possess both male and female reproductive structures on the same tree. Pollen is produced by male cone and is transferred with the help of pollination to the female cone and results in the formation of embryos. The embryos grows into seeds.

2. Aloe vera is a plant which belongs to the genus Aloe. It is cultivated for various medicinal and agricultural use. They are stemless plant of about 60-100 cm tall in height. The leaves are thick and fleshy and grown in trophical climates. The leaves of aloe vera contain phytochemicals. Aloe vera forms mycorrhiza which is a symbiosis that allows the plant access to mineral nutrients in soil.They have succulents which helps the plant to retain water. Aloe vera has thich and fleshy leaves which enlarges for the accomodation of aqueous tissue. The leaf cuticle is covered with wax. Aloe vera is an autotrophic organism which makes its own food through photosynthsis.Aloe vera is a vascular plant which has phloem and xylem cells that helps in the movement of water and food as per required. Aloe vera plants produce offsets adjacent to the parent plants and also produce tall seeded flower spikes. Pollination also helps in the production of seed. The offsets can be separated and grown separately.

3. Spiders have eight legs and fangs that inject venom. They belongs to Arachnids class. They feed on dead arthropods. pollen if caught in webs are also eaten. They capture their prey by the means of sticky webs. The venomproduce by them paralyzes the prey. This venom also works as digestive enzymes allowing the spiders to obtain nutrients. Spider adaptation include venom, quick movement and others anatomical adaptations. Some spiders develops coloration adaptation such as camouflage. A male spider deposits the sperm into the underside abdomen of female spider. The female spider fertilizes the eggs and then lays them into an egg sac. The egg hatches thus producing live spiders.

4. Pigeons are birds with short necks and stout-body. They feed on seeds, fruits and plants. They build nests with sticks and other debris. Pigeons produces crop milk to feed their young ones. There are morphological adaptations which can be used to distinguish between seed-eating and fruit-eating. Some of them feed on insects and worms. The body is streamlined which provides resistant to air current. They are covered with feathers to provide insulation. The bones are pneumatic which reduces the body weight and have sharp eye sight. Pigeons reproduce by mating with the male partners and follows fertization process. They reproduce by laying fertilized eggs and after the egg hatches produces the young ones.
