| plant's response to the number of hours of darkness in its environment | photoperiodism |
| substance that acts as a chemical messenger within plants | plant hormone |
| any change in the environment that causes organisms to respond | stimulus |
| response that results in plant growth toward or away from a stimulus | tropism |
| occurs when the life cycle of an organism alternates between diploid and haploid | alternation of generations |
| immature diploid plant that develops from the zygote | embryo |
| forms from an ovary and sometimes other parts of the flower and contains one or more seeds | fruit |
| haploid and diploid stages in the life cycle of a plant | generation |
| process during which a nucleus and its contents divide | mitosis |
| structure found at the base of the style that contains one or more ovules | ovary |
