Living Organisms

3. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
4. once fertilized it becomes the fruit
5. tube that connects the stigma to the ovary
6. A simple sugar that is an important source of energy.
9. anchors the plant to the ground
10. the sticky part of the pistol that catches the pollen
11. the reproductive part of a plant (seeds are made here)
15. attract pollinators
19. where photosynthesis occurs
20. Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
21. flower flower that is only male or only female
25. transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure
26. Outer layer of leaf
29. loss of water from a plant through its leaves

1. the process by which a cell captures in sunlight and uses it to make food
2. hairs absorb water and nutrients
7. A thin waxy layer that prevents water loss from the plant
8. holds up the anther
12. become the seeds inside the fruit
13. delivers water and nutrients throughout the plant and holds the plant upright
14. The male reproductive part of a flower
16. holds the pollen necessary for fertilization
17. the process where seeds sprout and begin to grow
18. respiration the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
22. protects the seeds and helps them disperse
23. The female reproductive part of a flower
24. flower has both male/female reproductive parts
27. cells The two cells that regulate the opening and closing of the stomata
28. protects the flower bud
