  1. 1. Organs: Plant organs involved in growth and development, excluding reproductive structures.
  2. 5. Tissue in vascular plants that transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
  3. 6. Fine powder produced by the male parts of flowers, containing the plant's reproductive cells and transferred to the female parts for fertilization.
  4. 8. A main, central root that grows vertically and gives rise to lateral roots in plants.
  5. 14. Refers to a leaf shape that is oval with a length-to-width ratio greater than 1.
  6. 15. The science of dating events and variations in the environment by studying tree rings.
  7. 16. Vascular plants that reproduce and disperse via spores, including ferns.
  8. 17. Vascular plants that have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients.
  9. 19. Refers to trees or shrubs that shed their leaves annually in response to seasonal changes.
  10. 20. A plant that takes two years to complete its life cycle, typically flowering and producing seeds in the second year.

  1. 2. Flowering plants, a group of plants that produce seeds within a fruit.
  2. 3. A green pigment in plant cells that is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
  3. 4. A plant that completes its life cycle in one growing season, typically flowering and producing seeds within that time frame.
  4. 6. A plant that lives for more than two years, often producing flowers and seeds repeatedly.
  5. 7. Plants with seeds that typically have one cotyledon (seed leaf) and other characteristic features like parallel leaf veins.
  6. 9. Non-vascular plants, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, which lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients.
  7. 10. Organs: Plant organs involved in the production of offspring, such as flowers and fruits.
  8. 11. Plants with seeds that typically have two cotyledons and other characteristic features like branching leaf veins.
  9. 12. Tissue in vascular plants that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  10. 13. A division of gymnosperms that includes cone-bearing plants such as pines, spruces, and firs.
  11. 15. Refers to a leaf shape that is triangular, resembling the Greek letter delta.
  12. 18. The scientific study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, classification, and economic importance.
