These are the leaves of my favorite kind of tree, the white paper birch! They are entire, lie alternate on the branches, and the margins are serrated, not lobed. 🍁🌿🍂🍃

oh, and indehiscent means it doesn’t split open when it is ripe! certain nuts and peas split open when they are mature which then means they are dehiscent.

We all know watermelon is the #1 fruit 🍉🍉🍉 but did you know it’s technically a berry? Even more specifically, it is a pepo type of berry: “an indehiscent fleshy one-celled many-seeded berry” with a hard rind. Same family as pumpkins & cucumbers!

From left to right: hydrangea, carnation, rose, alstromeria, & a lily. Plants that bear flowers (aka angiosperms) and fruits make up almost 90% of the plant kingdom! They bear reproductive parts of plants & are usually showy to attract pollinators.

We planted some Swedish Ivy and put a plant hormone called auxin on the roots of one to see which would grow more! Auxin promotes stem elongation. For some reason my ivy without the auxin (on the right) grew more roots 🤔

The musical Little Shop of Horrors features a Venus Fly Trap that feeds on blood & humans, that also sings & moves. #Bio120Fall19, watch this if you get a chance so you can point out the accuracy & the flaws (other than the obvious) with the Venus Fly Trap!

Looking up close at a lily with a dissecting microscope! The thin brown things are anthers (male part) and the thicker stem-like thing is the stigma (female part). This lily’s parts happen to be covered in pollen.

Back of a fern leaf that is covered with a bunch of sori, which are clusters of sporangia! This is how ferns reproduce; sori will disperse spores that grow into a mature gametophyte, which is the organism that will develop the plant sex organs.

This is a Sensitive Plant, and it moves when you touch it! It is a type of Turgor movement, which results from changes in internal water pressure in the leaves. This plant has swellings at the base of the leaves that make the leaves close up!

Learned in #Bio120Fall19 that pinecones have seeds in them! Honestly had no idea. They have small divets under each cone segment (seen in image) where the seeds hang out until they are released & dispersed, then they hopefully grow into more coniferous trees!

This orchid is dubbed the Laughing Bumblebee Orchid, because it looks like exactly that! 🐝 poor male bees will go up to the bee orchid thinking it's his chance to mate, only to be tricked into taking some pollen off with him to another bee orchid
