Chapter 8: Plants

3. A reproductive structure containing a plant embryo, a food supply, and a protective coat.
5. The vascular tissue that transports sugars (produced in photosynthesis) throughout the plant.
6. an angiosperm that has one cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, fibrous roots, and flower parts usually in multiples of 3.
9. The male reproductive part of a flower; it includes the anther (produces pollen) and filament.
11. The female reproductive part of a flower; includes the stigma, style, and ovary.
12. Plants that do not have xylem and phloem; they absorb water and nutrients directly through their tissues. Examples include mosses and liverworts.
13. The “seed leaf” inside a seed.
14. Plants with xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients but that reproduce using spores. Examples include ferns and horsetails.
15. The vascular tissue in plants that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

1. Flowering plants that produce seeds inside a fruit. This is the largest and most diverse group of plants.
2. Seed plants whose seeds are not enclosed in a fruit; usually produced in cones. Examples include conifers.
3. A tiny, single-celled reproductive structure that can grow into a new organism without fertilization.
4. an angiosperm that has two cotyledons, branched leaf veins, taproot systems, and flower parts usually in multiples of 4 or 5.
7. The structure in a flower that contains the egg cell; after fertilization it develops into a seed.
8. The nutritive tissue inside a seed that feeds the developing embryo.
10. The powdery structure that contains sperm cells used for fertilization in seed plants.
