Gymnosperm Leaf



Since pinecones are gymnosperms, a pinecone tree’s leaves are an example of gymnosperm leaves. 
Gymnosperm Cone



A gymnosperm is a plant that doesn’t show its seeds because it is enclosed within the ovary inside the cone. A female pinecone is a pinecone that has opened up. This is because it gives a better chance of excepting sperm from a male pinecone, which is usually closed up.

Distinguishing Characteristics Between Monocots and Dicots




Another example of a monocot is rice. Once rice seeds are germinated, only one cotyledon sprouts and another dicot plant are peaches. These plants grow in bundles or more than one. 
Distinguishing Characteristics Between Monocots and Dicots




Another example of a monocot and dicot are garlic and cashew nuts!

Same Class Different Order




Two organisms that are in the same class but are in different orders are a dog and human. Both dogs and humans are apart of the mammalian class, but dogs are in the Carnivora order when humans are in the primates order.
Organisms on Different Levels of the same Food Chain




Grass and crickets are apart of the same food chain because crickets eat grass. Grass is known as the lowest level of the food chain known as the producer. They produce their own nutrients in order to live and grow. Crickets are above this level and are known as herbivores because they eat the grass.
