  1. 1. structure of seed plant embryo that stores or absorbs food for the developing embryo; may become the plant first leaves when the plant emerges from the soil.
  2. 3. a thin, rootlike structure that anchors a moss and absorbs water and nutrients for the plant.
  3. 5. a waxy, waterproof layer that covers the leaves of most plants.
  4. 11. scaly structures produced by some seed plants that support male or female reproductive structures and are the sites of seed production; receptor cells in the retina adapted for sharp vision in bright light and color detection.
  5. 14. a food making process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food and oxygen.
  6. 16. a green pigment found in the chloroplast of plant, algae, and some bacteria cells.
  7. 17. any of the microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems.
  8. 19. earliest stage of growth and development of both plants and animals; differences and similarities among embryos can provide evidence of evolution.

  1. 2. in plants, the outmost layer of cells that covers and protects all parts of the plant; in humans and some other animals, the outermost protective layer composed of an outer layer of dead cells and an inner layer of living cells.
  2. 4. a period when an organism’s growth or activity stops.
  3. 6. structures in a plant cell that contain chlorophyll to help a plant make food.
  4. 7. a system of tube-like structures inside a plant that transport water, mineral, and food.
  5. 8. most abundant type of plant cell; spherical cells with thin, cells walls and a large central vacuole; important for storage and food production.
  6. 9. the leaf of a fern plant.
  7. 10. regions of actively dividing cells in plants
  8. 12. tiny particles produced by seed plants that contain sperm cells.
  9. 13. broad, flat plant organ supported by the stem that grows upward toward sunlight and traps light energy for photosynthesis.
  10. 15. vasuclar plant tissue composed of tubular cells joined end to end; transports sugars from the leaves to all parts of the plant.
  11. 18. the growth response of a plant toward or away from a stimulus.
  12. 20. plant organ that absorbs water and minerals from the soil transports those nutrients to the stem, and anchors the plant in the ground; may also serve as food storage organs.
