plant survival
Across
- 2. the male reproductive part of the flower; containing the anther and filament.
- 7. or geotropism the turning or growing of a plant in response to gravity; roots have positive gravitropism while the plant has negative tropism
- 8. a growth response between a plant and an external stimulus; a positive tropism grows towards the stimulus while a negative tropism grows away from the stimulus
- 11. when pollen from the male (stamen) is transferred to the female flower part (stigma) through insects, wind, animals, etc.
- 12. sticky part that receives pollen.
- 13. the bottom portion of the pistil; with one or more ovules, each containing one egg. The ovary grows into the fruit or vegetable.
- 16. when a plant grows in response to touch or contact
Down
- 1. a thing or event that triggers an organism or part of an organism into a specific functional activity; anything that causes a response
- 2. the movement and transportation of seeds from one place to another
- 3. growing towards the direction of a light source (sunflowers)
- 4. the female reproductive part of the flower; containing the stigma, style, and ovary.
- 5. plant growth towards or away from water concentrations
- 6. when the sperm & egg cells unite, growing into a fruit or vegetable.
- 9. tube that transfers pollen.
- 10. a period of inactivity required for ideal growth (think hibernation for plants/seeds)
- 14. the tip of the stamen; produces pollen that contains sperm.
- 15. the stalk of the stamen.
