| Question |
Answer |
| stamen | male reproductive part of a flower; contains anther and filament |
| pistil | female reproductive part of a flower; contains stigma, style, and ovary |
| petal | brightly colored to attract insects and birds |
| anther | produces pollen |
| filament | attaches to the anther |
| stigma | receives pollen from the anther |
| style | long tube that allows sperm to travel to the ovary |
| ovary | encloses the developing seeds |
| ovule | female egg cell |
| sepal | leaves under the flower |
| pollen | contain microsopic particles that will later become sperm cells |
| fruit | the ripened ovary that encloses one or more seeds of an angiosperm |
| leaves | capture the sun's energy and carry out photosynthesis |
| stem | carries substances between plant's roots and leaves; supports the plant |
| root | anchors a plant and absorbs water and nutrients from the soil |
| root cap | protects the root from injury as it grows through the soil |
| cambium | divide to produce new xylem and phloem |
| gymnosperm | produces naked seeds and many have needlelike leaves |
| angiosperm | a plant that produces seeds enclosed in a fruit |
| xylem | carries water up from roots to leaves |
| phloem | carries food down from leaves to roots and stem |
| fertilization | occurs when a sperm cell unites with an egg cell |
| zygote | the fertilized egg |
| gametes | sperm cells and egg cells |
| vascular tissue | an internal system of tubes through which food and water move |
| embryo | the young plant that develops from the fertilized egg |
| cotyledon | stored food for the embryo |
| stomata | small openings that open and close to control when gases enter and exit the leaf |
| germination | early growth stage of the embryo |
| cuticle | a waxy, waterproof layer that covers the leaves |
| monocot | angiosperms that only have one seed leaf |
| dicot | angiosperms that have two seed leaves |
