|---|---|
| Angiosperms | seed plants with flowers and fruit |
| Annual | A plant that survives only one year and then dies |
| Anther | tip of the stamen where pollen is produced |
| Auxin | A hormone that causes plant cells to elongate |
| Biennial | A plant that survives two years and then dies |
| Chlorophyll | the pigment molecule in the chloroplast that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis |
| Chloroplast | Organelle in the cells of plants where photosythesis takes place |
| Cone | the part of the gymnosperm that provides a home for the seeds |
| Cuticle | the protective waxy layer on the outside of a plant that prevents water loss |
| Deciduous Plant | a plant that loses its leaves at once in the fall |
| Dicot | the group of angiosperms that have two parts to their seeds |
| Dormant | A resting stage some seeds go through while waiting for the correct conditions to grow |
| Filament | Part of the stamen that holds the anther up. |
| Flower | the reproductive part of a palnt |
| Frond | the leaf of a fern |
| Fruit | the ripened ovary of a plant that houses the seeds |
| Germination | The process of a seed beginning to grow |
| Gymnosperms | seed plants with cones and no flowers |
| Leaves | the photosynthetic structures that provide food for the plant |
| Monocot | the group of angiospemrs that have one part to their seeds |
| Nectar | A food source for insects that attracts them for the purpose of pollinating the other flowers |
| Ovary | swollen base of the pistil that produces the eggs |
| Ovules | structures holding eggs that become the seeds when fertilization takes place |
| Perennial | a plant that survives many years before dying |
| Petals | colorful part of the flower that attracts insects and birds to pollinate the flower |
| Petiole | the part of the leaf that connects it to the tree |
| Phloem | Vascular tissue that carries food made in the leaves to other parts of the plant |
| Pistil | Female part of the flower |
| Pollen | The structure produced in the flower that contains the sperm |
| Pollination | Process where pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil of the flower |
| Root | The structure that absorbs water and provides an anchor for the plant |
| Seed Dispersal | The process by which plants spread out their seeds to new areas |
| Sepals | part of the flower that protects it before it blooms |
| Shoot | The above ground part of the plant including leaves stem flowers and fruit |
| Stamen | Male part of the flower |
| Stem | the part of the plant that provides it with structure to stand upright |
| Stigma | Sticky part of the pistil that collects the pollen |
| Stoma | opening in the cuticle of a leaf that allows gases in and out of the plant |
| Style | The part of the pistil that connects the stigma to the ovary |
| Tropism | a pattern of growth in plants |
| Vascular tissue | tubes or vessels in plants used for transportation |
| Xylem | vascular tissue that carries water and minerals |
