  1. Lichen: Symbiotic association between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria.

  2. Lignin: Complex organic polymer that strengthens plant cell walls.

  3. Lipid Used For Energy Storage: Fats and oils that store energy in organisms.

  4. Littoral Zone Organism: Aquatic organisms living in the shallow waters near shorelines.

  5. Long-Day Plant: Plants that flower when days are longer than a certain length.

  6. Meristem: Plant tissue that remains undifferentiated and can divide to form new cells.

  7. Modified Leaf Of A Plant: Adaptations of leaves for specific functions (e.g., tendrils, spines).

  8. Modified Root Of A Plant: Roots adapted for storage or support (e.g., tubers).

  9. Modified Stem Of A Plant: Stems adapted for storage or reproduction (e.g., rhizomes).

  10. Monocot Plant With Flower & Leaf: Plants with one cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, and floral parts in multiples of three.

  11. Muscle Fiber – Striated: Skeletal muscle fibers characterized by a banded appearance.

  12. Mutualism: Symbiotic relationship where both species benefit.

  13. Mycelium: Network of fungal filaments (hyphae) that absorb nutrients.

  14. Mycorrhizae: Symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots enhancing nutrient uptake.

  15. Myosin: Protein that interacts with actin in muscle contraction.

  16. Nematode: Roundworms, often parasitic, with a cylindrical body.

  17. Niche: Role and position a species has in its environment.

  18. Nymph Stage Of An Insect: Immature stage of insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

    2. Pollen: The male gametophyte of seed plants, consisting of microgametes; essential for fertilization in flowering plants.

    3. Pollinator: An organism that helps in the transfer of pollen from the male anthers to the female stigma of flowers, facilitating fertilization (e.g., bees, butterflies).

    5. Prokaryote: A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; includes bacteria and archaea.

    6. Protein – Fibrous: Structural proteins that are elongated and insoluble in water; examples include collagen and keratin.

    7. Protein – Globular: Proteins that are compact and soluble in water; examples include enzymes and antibodies.

    8. Protostome: A group of animals in which the mouth develops before the anus during embryonic development; includes arthropods and mollusks.

    9. Pteridophyte: A group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores, including ferns and horsetails; do not produce seeds.

    10. R-Strategist: Organisms that reproduce quickly and in large numbers, often with little parental care; examples include many insects and weeds.

    11. Radial Symmetry: A body plan in which body parts are arranged around a central axis; common in organisms like jellyfish and sea anemones.

    12. Rhizome: A horizontal underground stem that can produce new shoots and roots; serves as a storage organ.

    13. Scale From Animal With Two-Chambered Heart: Refers to the scales found on fish, which have a two-chambered heart; important for protection and thermoregulation.

    14. Spore: A reproductive cell capable of developing into a new individual without fusion with another cell; common in fungi and plants.

    15. Sporophyte: The diploid phase in the life cycle of plants that produces spores; typically the dominant form in vascular plants.

      1. Stem – Herbaceous: A non-woody stem that is typically green and flexible, often found in annual and perennial plants.

      2. Stem – Woody: A rigid stem composed of lignin that provides structural support, commonly found in trees and shrubs.

      3. Stigma & Style Of Carpel: The stigma is the receptive tip of the carpel where pollen lands, and the style is the elongated part that connects the stigma to the ovary.

      4. Tendril Of A Plant: A slender, coiling structure that helps plants climb and support themselves by wrapping around objects.

      5. Thorn Of A Plant: A sharp, pointed structure derived from a stem or branch that serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores.

      6. Unicellular Organism: An organism consisting of a single cell, such as bacteria or yeast, capable of performing all life processes independently.
