8.) Exoskeleton


This image shows a bee on a flower. A bee contains an exoskeleton as opposed to an endoskeleton. An exoskeleton is a skeleton or hard covering which exists outside of the body of the organism. This provides support and protection for the organism. Exoskeletons are found in insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

3.) Anther and Filament

This is a picture of a common daylily which shows the anther and filament of a stamen. This is where the pollen of a flower is stored and produced. The anther holds the pollen while the filament, a long stem-like structure, holds the anther up so pollinators can reach it. The anther can either be placed at the end of the filament (as pictured) or towards the center.
