| Where do plants grow? | in almost all environments |
| How do seeds form? | After pollen fertilizes the ovules, a seed forms. |
| What do plants provide humans? | Food and oxygen |
| 2 Characteristics of plants | Multicellular, Producer |
| What does the vascular system do for plants? | carries water and nutrients through the plant |
| Bees transport pollen when | they collect nectar from flowers |
| Where is pollen made? | Inside the anther |
| If a tree doesn't have many flowers then ... | it won't have many fruits |
| The anther and filament are part of the | stamen |
| The pistil is composed of | stigma, style, ovary, and ovules |

| Cellular Respiration | the process where cells change glucose into an energy the plant can use |
| Mitochondria | the organelle that takes glucose and turns it into a form of energy plants can use. |
| Chloroplast | place in the leaves where photosynthesis takes place |
| ATP | the usable energy molecule produced by cellular respiration |
| Glucose | produced by the process of photosynthesis |
