  2. WowbugMelittobia digitataAnimal Kingdom • Six legs, exoskeleton • Complete metamorphosis • Spiracles to breathe • Has wings but hops or crawls to move • 1.5 mm, parasitic wasp • Behaviors: • Grooms regularly with forelegs • Can reproduce sexually or asexually

  3. ElodeaElodea canadensisPlant Kingdom • Green, freshwater plant • Thin stalks with many leaflets • Many celled; cell walls • Often used in aquariums • Cells contain chloroplasts • Behaviors: • Uses photosynthesis • Cells wilt in salt water

  4. BlackwormLumbriculus variegatusAnimal Kingdom • Brownish-black • Lives in fresh water • Blood vessel is visible • Segmented • Rounded anterior • Behaviors • Regenerates head and tail segments • Quick tail reflex to avoid predators

  5. DuckweedLemna minorPlant Kingdom • Floats on the surface of fresh water • Stoma on upper epidermis • Reproduces with flowers • Contains chloroplasts • Has stem in water • Behavior: • Uses photosynthesis • Releases O2 into atmosphere

  6. Cabbage White ButterflyPieris rapaeAnimal Kingdom • Larva feeds on radish plants, cabbage • Reproduce sexually • Adult feeds on nectar using proboscis • Females have two dots on wing; Males one dot • Life span around 3 weeks • Behavior: • Females release pheromone to attract males • Complete metamorphosis

  7. DaphniaDaphnia pulnexAnimal Kingdom • Small crustacean • Exoskeleton, jointed appendages • Feeds on microscopic organisms • Females develop eggs in brood chamber • Live in freshwater • Behaviors: • Moves in quick, jerky motions • Propels food with leg movement

  8. YeastSaccharomyces cerevisiaeKingdom Fungi • Round or oval shape • Wide spread in nature • Microscopic • Used to make bread and wine • Can reproduce by budding • Behaviors • Releases CO2 • Become active when exposed to heat and moisture

  9. HydraHydra littoralisAnimal Kingdom • 5-7 tentacles • Expandable digestive cavity • Invertebrate • Translucent • Feeds on small freshwater organisms • Behavior: • Can release paralyzing poison from nematocysts • Can reproduce by budding

  10. Bean PlantPhaseolus lunatusPlant Kingdom • Dicot with two seed cotyledons • Net-like leaves • Tap root system • Produces fruit • Heart shaped leaves • Behaviors: • Uses photosynthesis • Requires cross pollination

  11. ParameciumParamecium multimicronucleatumProtist Kingdom • Tiny hairs called cilia • Invertebrate • Has a nucleus • Oval shape • Lives in fresh water • Behaviors: • Uses cilia to swim • Can reproduce by division

  12. Wisconsin Fast PlantBrassica rapaPlant Kingdom • Dicot with two seed cotyledon • Tap root system • Produces fruit • Yellow flowers • Grows quickly 20-30 days seed to seed • Behaviors: • Cross pollination required • Uses photosynthesis

  13. AmoebaAmoeba proteusProtist Kingdom • Reproduce by dividing • Microscopic • Has a nucleus • No true shape • Lives in fresh water • Behaviors: • Moves with pseudopods • Consumes food

  14. SpirogyraSpirogyra porticalisProtist Kingdom • Found in fresh water • Chloroplast form in a spiral • Straw-like structure • Green tube shape • Organisms link together • Behavior: • Uses photosynthesis • Organisms form colonies
