|---|---|
| Gymnosperms | produce naked seeds and deep-growing root system |
| Angiosperm | flowering seed in fruiting body |
| Root | to anchor and absorb water/ minerals |
| Stem | structure to carry materials between roots and leaves AND hold leaves up so they are exposed to sunlight |
| Leaves | Capture sun's energy to produce food |
| Phloem | for transport of food (sugar) and it goes down |
| Xylem | for transport of water, minerals and it goes up |
| pollen | contain sperm cell |
| seed | structure that contains young plant in a protective covering |
| vascular | HAVE special tissue to transport water and sugar |
| non-vascular | DOES NOT have special tissue |
| monocot | mono= one has one coyledon |
| dicot | di= two has two coyledon |
| epidermis | a single layer of cell covered with a cuticle |
| cuticle | waxy layer covering epidermis cells of a plant |
| mesophyll | the photosynthesis tissue between upper and lower epidermis |
| palisade mesophyll | loaded with chloroplasts |
| spongy mesophyll | arranged in air spaces |

| stamen | male parts of the flower |
| anther | produces and contains pollen |
| filament | fine like hair that sits on top of the anther |

| stigma | receives the pollen grains and on which they germinate |
| ovary | holds the seed and turns into a fruit |
| style | sits on top of the stigma |
| imperfect flower | can have all male parts or all female parts |
| perfect | has both female and male |
| ovule | parts of the ovary that becomes the seeb |
| sugar and oxygen | C(6)+H(12)+0(6)+6 O(2)---- 6+CO(2)+6+ H(2)O |
| carbon dioxide and water | 6+CO(2)+6+H(2)O------ C(6)+H(12)+0(6)+6 O(2) |
