Plant Structures

5. Vascular tissue that transports food
6. Type of stem that is often soft, example ivy
9. Capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food-making process of photosynthesis
10. Outer bark that protects the cells inside
13. Scattering of seeds by either animals or the wind
16. Female reproductive part of a flower
18. Protects the seeds as they develop
19. Reproductive structure of an angiosperm
21. Male reproductive part of a flower
22. Pores that control when gases enter of leave the leaf
24. Old, inactive xylem that helps support the tree
26. Anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food
29. Fertilized egg

1. Usually the most colorful parts of the flower, pollinators are attracted to their color and sent
2. Represent a year of growth in a tree, made from xylem
3. Hard to pull out of the ground, Cacti are examples
4. Leaflike parts of a flower, protect the developing flower
7. Tissue that produces new xylem and phloem
8. Waxy layers that help plant reduces water loss
10. Structures in which food is made
11. Occurs when the embryo begins to grow again and pushing out of the seed
12. Consists of many similarly sized roots, forming a dense tangled mass, Onions are examples
14. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
15. Protects the root as it grows through the soil
17. Acts like plastic wrap, protecting the embryo and its food from drying out
20. Type of stem that is hard and rigid, like in most trees.
21. Slender tube, connects the stigma to a hollow structure at the base of the flower
23. Pollen is produced here
25. The young plant that develops from the zygote
27. carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves, provides support for the plant
28. Vascular tissue that transports water; also known as sapwood in trees
