supporting vascular plant structure that connects roots to leaves

the main organ of photosynthesis and transpiration

the reproductive structure of an angiosperm

vascular plant organ that anchors the plant and allows it to absorb water/nutrients

mature ovary of an angiosperm that aids in seed dispersal

protective outer covering of a plant (epidermis, cuticle), usually waxy to prevent water loss

produces and stores sugars, contributes to physical support of plant (usually edible portions- potatoes, squash, asparagus)

specialized tissues that carries water and nutrients

produces vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) and increases the thickness of stems over time

vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots

vascular tissue that conducts sugars from the leaves down

tissue found at growing roots and shoots and in the cambium, forms new cells

small openings on the underside of a leaf, oxygen and carbon dioxide move through

control the opening and closing of stomata

a small, flowerless, non-vascular plant, grows in dense green clumps or mats in damp, shaded locations, type of bryophyte

a flowerless plant that reproduces by spores, have a vascular system for the transport of water and nutrients

a flowerless, vascular plant that bears their seeds directly on the scales of cones (naked)

flowering, vascular plants, bear their seeds in flowers inside a special layer of tissue that surrounds and protects the seed

a plant embryo and its food supply encased in a protective covering

outermost, protective portion of a flower that covers the bud and connects to the stem

colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators

male parts containing a filament and anther

female parts containing style, stigma and ovary (becomes the fruit)
