  1. 4. The part of the anther that stores pollen grains before they’re released.
  2. 7. A group of xylem and phloem tubes bundled together, like a plant’s “plumbing system.”
  3. 8. The bottom part of the pistil that contains the ovules (eggs) and develops into fruit after fertilization.
  4. 13. A protective sheath that helps the young shoot push through the soil during germination
  5. 15. The first part of photosynthesis that happens in the chloroplasts and uses sunlight to make energy (ATP).
  6. 19. Plants with one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel veins, and flower parts in threes (like corn or grass).
  7. 21. A layer of tall, tightly packed cells filled with chloroplasts where most photosynthesis happens
  8. 23. The cell part (organelle) where photosynthesis happens; it contains chlorophyll.
  9. 28. The bottom layer of the leaf, which contains most of the stomata.
  10. 31. The seed coat that protects the seed.
  11. 32. The sticky top part of the pistil that catches pollen during pollination.
  12. 33. Tubes in a plant that carry water and minerals from the roots up to the rest of the plant
  13. 36. Associated with a water seed dispersal
  14. 37. Tiny hair-like structures on leaves or stems that protect the plant from insects, sunlight, or water loss.
  15. 38. the union of a male and female gametes to form a zygote and initiate the development of a new plant
Down
  1. 1. The green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
  2. 2. The flat, wide part of a leaf that catches sunlight.
  3. 3. The process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food (glucose) and release oxygen
  4. 5. Associated with a wind seed dispersal
  5. 6. Process of which seeds are dispersed in an environment. There are 6 methods of this process: Attachment, Animals, Explode, Water, Wind, and Gravity.
  6. 9. A colored substance in cells that absorbs light; chlorophyll is one example.
  7. 10. Special cells around each stoma that open and close the pores to control gas exchange and water loss.
  8. 11. Plants with two seed leaves, branching veins, and flower parts in fours or fives (like beans or roses).
  9. 12. The base of the flower where all parts attach; it supports the flower
  10. 13. When pollen from one flower fertilizes a different plant’s flower.
  11. 14. The part of a stamen that makes and holds pollen.
  12. 16. The stem-like stalk that connects the leaf blade to the main plant stem.
  13. 17. A resting period when a seed or plant is alive but not growing.
  14. 18. A layer of loosely arranged cells with air spaces for gas exchange inside the leaf.
  15. 20. sits on the receptacle and surrounds the petals
  16. 22. The stored food inside a seed that helps feed the young plant when it starts to grow.
  17. 24. The top layer of leaf cells that protects the leaf and lets sunlight through
  18. 25. When a flower’s pollen fertilizes its own egg (same plant).
  19. 26. am embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one of more of which are the first leave to appear from a germinating seed
  20. 27. When a seed begins to sprout and grow into a new plant
  21. 29. A thin, shiny coating on leaves that helps reduce water loss.
  22. 30. The second part of photosynthesis where plants use that stored energy to make sugar.
  23. 34. Tiny openings on the underside of leaves that let air (carbon dioxide and oxygen) move in and out.
  24. 35. Tubes that carry food (sugars) made in the leaves to other parts of the plant.
