|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| petals | each of the segments of the corolla of a flower, which are modified leaves and are typically colored
🗑
|
||||
| photosynthesis | the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
🗑
|
||||
| dormancy | when a plant is alive but not actively growing
🗑
|
||||
| phloem | the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves
🗑
|
||||
| xylem | the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem
🗑
|
||||
| sepals | the leaves that enclose the flower bud
🗑
|
||||
| cellular respiration | the production of energy from the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide
🗑
|
||||
| tropism | the turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus
🗑
|
||||
| transpiration | process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere
🗑
|
||||
| stamens | the male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament.
🗑
|
||||
| cuticle | a protective and waxy or hard layer covering the epidermis of a plant
🗑
|
||||
| gravitropism | the movement or growth of a plant in response to gravity
🗑
|
||||
| anther | the part of a stamen that contains the pollen
🗑
|
||||
| stomata | any of the pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width that allows movement of gases in and out
🗑
|
||||
| hydrotrophism | growth or movement response of a cell or an organism to moisture or water
🗑
|
||||
| pistil | the female organs of a flower, comprising the stigma, style, and ovary
🗑
|
||||
| glucose | made in photosynthesis is transported around the plant as soluble sugars which are used in respiration to release energy for use by the plant's cells
🗑
|
||||
| fertilization | Coming together of egg cell and sperm cell; once pollination happens, ovule closes; then sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell in ovule; fertilized egg then develops into embryo
🗑
|
||||
| pollination |
the transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization
🗑
|
||||
| ovary | part of the pistil which holds the ovule(s) and is located above or below or at the point of connection with the base of the petals and sepals
🗑
|
||||
| ovules | the part of the ovary of seed plants that contains the female germ cell and after fertilization becomes the seed
🗑
|
||||
| filament | a stalk-like structure that attaches to the base of the flower and supports the anther, which is the structure that produces pollen
🗑
|
||||
| stigma | The part of the pistil where pollen germinates
🗑
|
||||
| style | a long, slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary
🗑
|
||||
| germinate | sprouting of a seedling from a seed
🗑
|
||||
| perfect flowers | has both the male and the female reproductive parts
🗑
|
||||
| imperfect flowers | has only one sexual reproductive organ
🗑
|
||||
| phototropism | plants that grow towards the sun
🗑
|
||||
| chlorophyll | causes plants to be green
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
