|---|---|
| stigma | female part of flower; traps pollen. |
| anther | male part of flower; produces pollen. |
| fruit | a thickened ovary. |
| gametophyte | Part of life cycle where eggs and sperm are produced. (gametes) |
| petals | Colorful parts of flower; to attract insects. |
| xylem | Vascular tissue that carries water. |
| sporophyte | Part of life cycle that produces spores or seeds. |
| pistil | Female part of flower; made of stigma, style and ovary. |
| stamen | Male part of flower. Made of anther and filament. |
| phloem | Vascular tissue that carries food. |
| spores | Mosses and ferns reproduce by producing these. |
| seed | Formed from reproduction in cones or flowers. |
| endosperm | Food found in seeds. |
| monocot | Plant whose leaf veins are parallel. |
| dicot | Plant whose seed has 2 seed leaves. |
| cone | Gymnosperms produce seeds in these. |
| angiosperms | AKA flowering plants. Produce seeds in flowers and then fruit. |
| sori | Cluster of sporangia on back of fern frond. |
| frond | Large fern leaf. |
| fiddlehead | coiled up young fern. |
| pollination | The transfer of pollen to the female part of flower or female cone. |
| vascular tissue | Tissue that allows for the transport of water or nutrients in more advanced plants. |
| diploid | Having 2 sets of chromosomes. |
| haploid | Having 1 set of chromosomes. |
| water | Mosses require this for the egg to swim to the sperm. |
| seed coat | covering that protects the seed. |
| gymnosperms | plants that produce seeds in cones. |
| embryo | new developing plant. |
| non-vascular plants | plants that lack vascular tissues. ex. mosses. |
| filament | male flower part; holds up the anther. |
| style | female flower part; holds up the stigma. |
| ovary | female part of flower, contains ovules |
| ovules | female part of flower; where the egg cells form. |
| double fertilization | 2 fertilizations in flowering plants, results in embryo and endosperm. These 2 parts make up a seed. |
