Biology help! Scavenger Hunt?

Question

I need to find these items but I dont know what they are! Thanks.

1) a monocot leaf
2) a slice of break with black bread mold (is that just the normal mold that grows on old bread or a special kind?)
3) an example of an angiosperm organ that anchors, absorbs water and minerals, and stores food for the plant.
4) an organism from phylum tracheophyta, subphylum pteropsida.
5) a food made with the assistance of lactobacillus.
6) seeds from class angiospermae subclass monocotyledonae.
7) a swollen and maturated ovary sample of an organism from class angiophyta subclass dicotyledonae.

I have been searching forever and can not find any of these ones. Some help please?

we have a dumb teacher that gave no help and its not in the book, and I am in washington state

Thank you very much mg! You really know your stuff! How on earth do they expect 15 year olds to know this stuff lol!

mg, I dont understand what I am looking for for number 7. How do you know its an apple? and, what are grass seeds?

Answer 1

1.) The simplest monocot leaf you can find is that of grass. A blade of grass is a monocot leaf. (Just make sure that the veins in the grass run parallel to each other, but I don't think that any grasses are dicots anyway.)

2.) Regular bread mold is what you want. Bread mold is the fungus Rhizopus, just a side note.

3.) The root of any flowering plant will do for this one. A potato is a prime example as it is the result of a swollen tuber, which is part of the root.

4.) A fern, any kind of gymnosperm (pine trees and the sort), or any flowering plant will do for this one.

5.) Yogurt.

6.) Grasses are monocots (subclass monocotyledonae). So their seeds will do for this. I just thought of another one. Corn is a monocot. The seed of corn are kernels. A kernel of corn from a bag of microwave popcorn is a monocot seed that could be used for this part.

7.) Upon fertilization of the flower of an apple tree the leaves first fall off and then the ovary begins to swell. The fertilized ovules develop into seeds and then the ovary begins to swell further. The apple (specifically the core of an apple) is a swollen and maturated ovary itself. The apple contains the seed of an apple tree within the mature ovary, which is the apple itself.

Answer 2

6) as mg answered in #1, grass is a monocot. Grass grows seeds, but generally the grass in lawns is chopped and never grows seeds. You can get grass seeds from tall grass that has seeds growing at the top, or I suppose you could buy a package of them.
7) The ovary of any plant is where the seeds are held. Therefore, an apple will work because it contains seeds (plus all the stuff he said about it swelling and what not)

Answer 3

-monocot leaf- corn, wheat, or orchid leaf
-the bread mold is just the normal bread mold
-i think the angiosperm thingy is an apple or some fruit like that
-tracheophyta pteropsida- a fern... i think
-lactobacillus- yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, sourdough bread, kimchi
-angiospermae monocotyldonae- lily, tulip, yellow iris
-?
ur such a cheater :)

Answer 4

So we can point you in the right direction, how about giving us a little more information so we can tell you where to look. IE, state and country

Answer 5

Surely you have a biology book that would help you find the definitions? That's the first step.
