- 7. sticky part on top of the style where insects leave pollen
- 8. the growing point of the stem and can be either leaf or flower buds.
- 9. contains all four floral parts (pistil, stamen, petals, and sepals).
- 11. blade the flattened portion of the leaf
- 13. where the leaves develop.
- 14. leaf arrangement on the stem that is staggered along the stem
- 15. a creeping underground stem, usually horizontal, that
- 18. modified leaf that surrounds the female and male reproductive parts of the flower. Collectively these are called the corolla.
- 20. is a plant that lives more than two years. Some perennials will grow and bloom the first year.
- 23. female organs of the flower
- 25. male organs of the flower, often multiple in one flower
- 27. absorb water and nutrients on the root
- 28. located inside the ovary and develop into seeds after fertilization
- 29. the reproductive organs of a plant
- 32. The food manufacturing process in plants that combine carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to make sugar and oxygen.
- 35. the reproductive unit of the plant, monocots and dicots, parts include the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat
- 37. the space between the nodes on the stem.
- 38. The process by which plants lose water from their leaves through evaporation out of the stomata.
- 41. refers to plants that lose their leaves during the dormant season
- 43. the transfer of the pollen onto the stigma
- 45. cells surround the stomata and regulate the open and close of the stomata
- 46. located at the tip of the root and is where new cells are produced
- 47. a swollen, modified stem that grows underground. Example: potato
- 50. contain a pistil and stamens.
- 52. plants that relish cool temperatures, growing best in spring or fall.
- 53. The process by which minerals enter the plant through cell walls. The process by which water enters the plant through cell walls.
- 56. mature ovary that has formed from fertilization of the ovules
- 58. are on plants that grow out of the soil to keep from getting too much moisture. Ex: orchids
- 59. breathing pores found on stems and branches
- 60. leaf arrangement in groups of 3 or more
- 63. grow in many locations on the plant. This type of root aids in the propagation of many types of horticultural specific plants. Ex: ivy
- 64. have 1 blade and it is not divided into segments, there is a bud present at the base
Down
- 1. plants that grow best in warm temperatures, growing best in summer and early fall.
- 3. leaf arrangement in pairs across from each other on the stem
- 4. The process through which plant leaves, stems and roots consume oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.
- 5. the skin of the leaf that prevents the loss of too much moisture
- 6. have 2 or more blades known as leaflets, there is no bud present at the base of the leaflets only at the base of the overall leaf
- 8. is a plant that completes its life cycle in two years. It usually grows the first year and flowers the second year.
- 10. a plant with staminate and pistillate flowers on the same plant (meaning one house)
- 12. small openings under the leaf for breathing or transpiration
- 16. The process by which food moves within a plant from one plant part to another.
- 17. is a plant that completes its life cycle in one year.
- 19. grow straight down with lateral roots emerging as branching roots. Examples: carrots, maple trees
- 21. The plant process that increases plant numbers usually from seeds. The two main methods of reproduction are sexual and asexual.
- 22. are shallow and dense and cling firmly to soil. These work well to control erosion. examples: lettuce, grass
- 24. when there are many flowers clustered together on one stem
- 26. only contains female reproductive flower parts.
- 30. is missing one of the four floral parts.
- 31. staminate and pistillate flowers are on two separate plants (meaning two houses).
- 33. a shoot or stem that originates from the roots
- 34. a flower is missing either the pistil or the stamens
- 36. only contains male reproductive flower parts.
- 39. modified leaf that surrounds and protects the flower bud before it opens. Collectively these are called the calyx.
- 40. small green particles that contain chlorophyll, give leaves their green color and are necessary for photosynthesis
- 42. matures into the fruit after fertilization.
- 44. is a stage when a plant rests or grows very little.
- 48. thin stalk that holds up the anther
- 49. middle layer of the leaf tissue containing specialized cells like chloroplasts
- 51. when pollen travels down the style and combines with the ovules
- 54. a creeping above ground stem that grows horizontally and produces roots and shoots at the nodes. Ex: strawberry
- 55. The process by which plant roots take in water. The process by which plant roots take in air.
- 57. refers to plants that retain their leaves and remain green year-round
- 61. an enlarged, bulb-like, fleshy structure found at the base of a stem. Ex: gladiolus and crocus.
- 62. slender stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary
- 63. structure that produces the pollen
