A structure that contains a new plant (embryo) which can germinate, starting the life cycle once again

plant part that makes and contains the seed for a conifer (non-flowering plant)

plant part that transports water up from the roots, food back from the leaves, and supports the leaves, flowers, and fruit

This plant part takes in carbon dioxide and uses energy from the sun to make food for the plant

process by which plants convert the sun's energy, water, and carbon dioxide into sugars

The part of the plant that absorbs water & nutrients from the soil, anchors the plant in place, and stores food.

the structure of a flowering plant that protects dormant seeds and aids in their dispersal.

behaviors or structures that help an organism survive in their environment

the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant

The movement of pollen from the male plant part to the female plant part

single plant cells that can develop into a new plant; found on mosses and ferns

the sprouting of a seed to begin a new plant

to make more organisms of the same kind; to copy

a kind of plant that has roots, stems, and leaf-like fronds and reproduces with spores

a kind of plant that does not have true roots, stems, or leaves and that reproduces with spores

parts of an organism that does a certain 'job'

a substance that an organism needs in order to survive and grow
