EVELYN'S BIOLOGY IN LIFE.... continued  Due to technical difficulties, I was forced to continue on a new post, so here I am!  8. Rhizome It's ginger! And this flavorful food happens to be a rhizome-- a plant with a fleshy root, like their cousins potatoes. Rhizomes are defined as a node that sends out roots and shoots, shoots exactly like da lovely ginga :) does. The chopped off sections of the ginger root used to have plants and shoots attached, which makes the actual ginger a fleshy root-- or a rhizome.  9. Tropism This artsy picture (which Joey enjoyed posing in immensely), is an example of tropism, or an organism's response to light, gravity, heat, water, ect.

Animal with segmented body This first picture is an ant, and a very small one at best. Ants are great examples of segmented bodies because of their three different parts of their body, connected together into the different pronounced sections. First is the head, by the little antena sticking up. Then, moving upwards in the photo, to the thorax, and then the abdomen. 2. Bilateral symmetry Say hi again to Joey!
