- 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.

- 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

- 62. slender stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary
- 63. structure that produces the pollen
