Parts of a flowering plant

3. male reproductive part of the flower that produces pollen
5. this tissue divides to produce new xylem and phloem
8. waxy layer on the upper surface of a leaf that reduces water loss
9. cells in the middle of the leaf that are major sites of photosynthesis
11. where ovules are produced
13. holds up the leaves and carries sugars and water
14. holes on the surface of a leaf to control gas exchange
16. usually colourful to attract pollinators like bees
18. when a seed takes in water, it swells and a young root and shoot grow out
19. connects the stigma to the ovary
20. anchors the plant in the soil and absorbs water and mineral salts
21. cap protects the root of a plant as it pushes through the soil

1. carries water and minerals from the soil upwards towards other parts of the plant
2. bundle contains xylem, phloem and cambium tissue
4. how plants give off water
6. needed for photosynthesis
7. produces seeds by sexual reproduction
10. carries sugar solution from leaves to areas of the plant that cannot produce their own food
12. the process by which plants sexually reproduce
15. cells these control the opening and closing of stomates
17. supports the anther
20. hairs tiny projections of the outset cells of roots that increase surface area
