vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant

Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant

A microscopic pore surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment and the interior of the plant.

control the opening and closing of stomata

the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants

modified leaves which are usually bright in color to attract pollinators.

A leaf like structure that encloses the bud of a flower of an angiosperm.

In an angiosperm, the terminal pollen sac of a stamen, where pollen grains containing sperm-producing male gametophytes form.

Female part of the flower. Consists of a stigma, style, and ovary

The stalk of a flower's carpel, with the ovary at the base and the stigma at the top.

Male reproductive organ of a plant that produces distinctive spores by meiosis

extension of the female gametophyte, when the stigma is mature it produces a sticky substance which allows a good environment for pollen grains to adhere and interact

plant embryo and a food supply encased in a protective covering

transfer of pollen from anther to stigma

A flowering plant which forms seeds inside a protective chamber called an ovary.

single-celled reproductive bodies highly resistant to cold and heat damage; capable of new organisms

a woody, vascular seed plant whose seeds are not enclosed by an ovary or fruit

A main vertical root that develops from an embryonic root and gives rise to lateral (branch) roots.

The ripened ovary and other structures of an angiosperm that enclose one or more seeds.

plant tissue found only in the tips of shoots and roots; responsible for plant growth

tissue between the dermal tissue and vascular tissue of a non-woody plant that functions in photosynthesis, storage, and support

Plant tissue consisting of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body.

The protective covering of plants; generally a single layer of tightly packed epidermal cells covering young plant organs formed by primary growth.

vascular tissue that produces xylem and phloem cells as a plant grows

phloem	Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant
stoma/stomata	A microscopic pore surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment and the interior of the plant.
guard cell	control the opening and closing of stomata
transpiration	the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants
flower petals	modified leaves which are usually bright in color to attract pollinators.
sepal	A leaf like structure that encloses the bud of a flower of an angiosperm.
