Phytophagy means eating of plants. It usually describes insect behavior. However, it can also be interpreted as any animal eating a plant. In this project, I took two pictures of evidence for autophagy and organized it into a figure. A map of where the evidence was found was also included.  I wrote a method on how to take that picture and someone else followed my method to make a similar figure. The result was a similar figure that had some differences in formatting, the object in the photo, and the photo quality. The biggest difference that changed how the figure looked was differences in formatting, whereas photo quality contributed to the difference but did not cause the figure to change drastically. The difference in the figure that is described in the result is due to a differing camera,  method of image export, object, and hand that was taken. Due to these differences, the two figures were similar but not completely the same.

I really enjoyed your description of differences between your figures. I wonder, however, if you need a comma in your last sentence before "but". I think it might be a general rule that you place a comma before but, yet I am not too certain.

I think autophagy is something else.

Your paragraph is good and one improvement could be that the sentence "I wrote a method on how to take that picture and someone else followed my method to make a similar figure" could be said in fewer words, like "I wrote a method to creating the figure and another student recreated it following that method."
