Plant structures

2. many thin roots of the same size that cling to soil holding it and the the soil in place.
3. the top of the stamen which contains the pollen grains.
5. visible structure of a leaf that carries water and sugar.
7. as inner vessels continue to add tubes, pressure crushes outer cells forming this.
9. 6CO + 6H O sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll C H O + 6O .
12. when the stigma receives pollen from the anther of the same flower.
15. vascular plants that produce flowers for reproduction.
17. protects by which water moves from areas of higher concentrations to lower ones.
18. the slender tube part of the pistil.
20. inner vessels that carry water and materials upward.
22. water and minerals are absorbed from the soil through these.
24. small pores that allow gases to enter and leave the plant's leaves.
25. green chemical that absorbs light energy and produces sugars and starches.
28. on the tip of the style, produces a stiky material the traps pollen grains.

1. flexible stems such as grass and tomatoes which often are annuals and biannuals.
4. the female part of a flower.
6. when pollen is carried from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another.
8. protects the dividing cells in the root tip.
10. outer layer of cells that traps moisture in the leaf, tends to be waxy on the surface.
11. the stem-like part of the stamen.
13. the movement of water absorbed by root hairs up the stem and out the stomata.
14. outer vessels that generally carries food to cells requiring it.
16. stiff stems in trees and bushes that four rings of yearly growth that can support height.
19. will change shape so pores open in the day to breath gases and transpire water.
21. large central root that can grow straight down in some cases hundreds of feet.
23. the male part of the flower.
24. sperm and egg cells fuse during reproduction to form another viable life.
26. surrounds and protects the male and female reproductive structures of flowers.
27. structure at the base of the pistil which contains the ovules.
