- The expanded part of a leaf or petal.
- The seed-bearing part of a plant, consisting of reproductive organs (stamens and carpels) that are typically surrounded by a brightly colored corolla (petals) and a green calyx (sepals).
- A bud that develops in the axil between a petiole and a stem.
- Manufactures food through photosynthesis, exchange of gasses with environment, stores food and water, comes off the stem and is green, and thin.
- Molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesize carbohydrates from CO2 and water.
- The first portion of root too emerge.
- Process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation).
- The part of a plant stem from which one or more leaves emerge, often forming a slight swelling or knob.
- The stalk that joins a leaf to a stem; leafstalk.
- Parts of the plant that are underground.
- If this is too high or too low, it will result in abnormal development and reduced production.
- What the chlorophyll collects it and gets energy from it in a process called photosynthesis.
- The vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
- Transport water and nutrients between roots and leaves, supports, produces new tissue for photosynthesis and support, stores food and water.
- The sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food.
- Is a tiny opening or pore that is used for gas exchange.
- Where roots absorb nutrients, such as water.
Down
- Absorbed by roots through roots along with minerals and is transported through out plant from their, is a liquid.
- Grows off of primary root.
- Transport water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients.
- A part of a plant stem between two of the nodes from which leaves emerge.
- Where photosynthesis takes place.
- Supplied by the soil and by the addition of fertilizers.
- This part of the plant is above ground, and is composed of several organs.
- The main stem.
- Is required for plants for their respiration to carry out their functions of water and nutrient uptake.
- Can be created by using stacks ,string ,or by soil that surrounds the roots.
- The part of the plant that absorbs water from soil for needed nutrients.
- Product of photosynthesis used for energy, made in leaves, moves to where it is needed.
- Reactant for photosynthesis collected through stomata.
