AP Biology Terms and Pictures
Autotroph
 An autotroph is an organism that makes its own
food(organic molecules) from inorganic materials.
They are the lowest organism on the food chain.
Conifer Leaf
 These are leaves from coniferous trees, such as pine
tree. They are needle like in order to hold water.
They are usually located in colder climates.
Deciduous Leaf
 Deciduous leaves belong to deciduous trees, which
lose all their leaves at one time of the year in order to
become dormant. These leaves change color before
they fall off, because they stop making chlorophyll.
Mutualism
 Mutualism is when two organisms have a
relationship that is beneficial for both of them.
Exoskeleton
 A creature has an exoskeleton when the skeleton is
one the outside of the organism. Most arthropods
have exoskeletons. An exoskeleton is often used as a
form of protection.
Pollen
 Yellowish spores found in seeded plants that fertilize
plants and allow them to flower.
Lichen
 A close relationship between fungus and algae. It is
a mixture of these two species. Lichens are usually
found on rocks or trees, in a green, grey or yellow
color.
Insect
 Insects are usually small arthropods and are a part
of the Insecta class. Insects have multiple stages
and the adult usually has three pairs of legs. Its
body is segmented into a head, thorax, and
abdomen.
Heartwood
 The inner circle of wood in a branch, trunk, or stem.
It is usually darker, composed of dead cells, and is
resistant to decay. The heartwood is harder then the
wood surrounding it.
Long-day Plant
 These plants need a certain amount of sun in order
for the flower to bloom.
Pollinator
 Pollinator is anything that transfers the pollen from
the anthers to the stigma. A pollinator allows
flowers to be fertilized.
The Rest of the Terms
Annelid
 The annelid is a part of the Annelida phylum, which
is a type of animal. They consist of about 15,000
species of segmented worms.
A Population
 One species organisms or organisms that share a
same trait that are living together at a certain place
and time.
Arthropod
The arthropod phylum is the largest phylum in the
animal kingdom. Characteristics of arthropods
include an external skeleton and paired legs.
Frond
 The leaf part of a non-vascular plant. The fronds
often fan out around a stem.
Gastropod
 The gastropod is a class within the mollusca phylum.
A gastropod has a head, one piece protective shell,
and one foot on which the rest of the body rests
upon.
Genetically Modified
 When a organism’s DNA has been altered in the lab
through genetic engineering. This is a controversial
science.
Niche
 A niche is a specific job or function a organism takes
in an ecosystem. It’s also all the biotic and abiotic
factors that causes a species to do what it does.
Leaf- Gymnosperm
 Gymnosperms are vascular plants that do not protect
seeds in fruit. They usually are protected by being
borne inside of cones. These are found on pine trees.
Parasite
 A parasite causes harm to its host, another organism,
while using it for its own benefit. Parasites use their
host for shelter or nutrition.
