| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Makes up the reproductive parts of flowering seed plants | Flowers |
| The primary function of flowers for the plant is? | To produce seeds for reproduction |
| The special stem to Which flowers form on? | Flower Stalk or Pedicel |
| The floral parts are attached to the end of the flower stalk called____, which is designed to hold the developing seeds. | Receptical |

| Collectively the petals are called the flower's ____? | Corolla |
| The organs which produce the pollen? | Stamens |
| The male reproductive cells? | Sperm |
| A slender, elongated stalk of the stamen? | Filament |
| The enlarged structure at the tip of the filament? | Anther |
| The elongated, vase-shaped structure of a flower? | Pistil |
| Three parts of a pistil? | Stigma, Style, Ovary |
| The swollen base of the pistil? | Ovary |
| Future seeds located in the Ovary? | Ovules |
| The female reproductive cells? | Egg Cells |
| The stalk like structure that connects the ovary to the tip of the pistil? | Style |
| The tip of the pistil; the part which receives the pollen grains? | Stigma |
| Lacks one or more of the sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils? | Incomplete Flower |
| Special leaves that looks, like flowers? | Bracts |

| Flowers that lack stamens an bear only pistils? | Pistillate |
| Any plant on which both staminate and pistillate flowers are produced in the same plant? | Mononecious |
| These plants produce staminate and pistilate flowers just as monoecious plants do, but the two types of flower are borne by separate plants? | Dioecious |
| Most plants bear flowers in clusters called? | Inflorecences |
| When the ovary is fully ripened it us called a? | Fruit |
| Pollen reaches the pistil through a process called? | Pollination |
| Occurs when pollen fuses with ovules? | Fertlization |
| The transfer of pollen from an anther to the stigma portion of a pistil? | Pollination |
| When pollination occurs within the same flower, the type of pollination is called? | Self-Pollination |
| Occurs when the pollen from an anther of one plant is transferred to a stigma of a flower on another plant? | Cross-Pollination |
| A sweet-tasting, watery liquid produced by plants? | Nectar |
| When the sperm cell is brought by a pollen grain fuses with the egg all within the ovule? | Fertilization |
| The sperm and egg are referred to as? | Gametes |
| The type of reproduction in which the sperm and egg unite is referred to as? | Sexual Reproduction |
| Following a successful pollination the pollen grain begins to form a ___ ___ from the stigma, down through the style of the pistil and into the ovary? | Pollen Tube |
| Chemicals produced in plants or animals to control or stimulate specific processes? | Hormones |
| Growing larger and developing into a fruit? | Ripening |
