9. C4 Plant

A C4 Plant uses carbon dioxide in the Calvin Cycle to produce a C4 molecule. C4 plants generally use photosynthesis in hot, sunny climates. Corn is an example of a C4 plant because it is grown in a hot, sunny climate and produces C4 molecules.

10. CAM Plant

CAM stands for Crassulacean Acid Metabolism. CAM Plants collect carbon dioxide at night and are adapted to hot weather because of their ability to avoid water loss during photosynthesis. Pineapples are examples of CAM Plants because they collect carbon dioxide at night, grow in hot weather, and don't lose much water.

11. Connective Tissue

Connective Tissue is one of the four types of tissues and connects, supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs. This fat embedded throughout the meat represents one of the many types of connective tissue. Fat is called Adipose Connective Tissue and is used to store energy and supports and insulates the body.

12. Cuticle Layer of a Plant

The cuticle layer of a plant is the protective cover of leaves. It is made up of lipid and hydrocarbon polymers and wax. It also prevents the loss of water. Most plants have a cuticle layer, including this one. On the leaves of this plant you can see that they aren't shiny, but have a matte covering. The leaves look like this because of the wax in the cuticle.

13. Detritivore

Detritivores are organisms that consume decomposing plant and animal parts including feces. A fly is a common example of a detritivore. Flies eat leftover food and feces so they are considered detritivores.

14. Ectotherm

An Ectotherm depends on the environment to regulate their body temperature. Jawed fish are examples of ectotherms because they use their environment, the ocean, to regulate their body temperatures. Therefore, this fish is an example of an Ectotherm.

15. Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that protects and supports an animal's body. Exoskeletons are also known as shells for some animals. Some organisms that have exoskeletons are crabs, lobsters, snails, spiders, cicadas. This spider is just one of the many examples of an organism with an exoskeleton.
