Explanations
Animals
1.) Fiddler Crab-I knew that this animal was a fiddler crab because of its habitat. It lived in the mud in my back yard that is part of the intercostal. I also knew it was a fiddler crab because of its huge claw resembling a fiddle, hence its name.
2.) Millipede-I knew this was millipede because it had 2 pairs of legs on each body segment, attached to the underside of its body. It also had spiracles on the underside of its body.
Plants
1.) Rose-I knew this was a rose because it had multiple stamens, leaves that grew in alternate patterns on the stems, symmetric, unconnected petals that count up to four or five, prickles on the stems and bisexual reproductive parts.
2.) Azalea-I knew this was an Azalea because it was a small pink flower. It also …show more content…
I also knew because it was green and has a distinguishable feel. It feels kind of crusty and is very fragile.
Bacteria
1.) Flesh-Eating Bacteria-I knew that this was bacteria because it was the rod-shape like bacteria. It also had pili and a flagellum. It has all the parts that are needed for a regular bacteria cell meaning that it is bacteria. [Plus, it’s got it in its name ;)]
2.) Salmonella-I knew this was Salmonella because it was rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye used in the gram staining method due to the fact that they have cell walls that are thin. Gram-negative bacteria are often harmful to a host, which is the case for many of the Salmonella bacteria.
Protists
1.) Irish Moss- I knew that this was Irish Moss because it was reddish and kind of like seaweed. This is a protist because it lives in the water like a regular protist would normally do.
2.) Euglena Gracilis-I knew it was a protist because it moves around in the water and is very small. It also has a flagellum. It also has the parts that other protists would
