Plant Structures

4. Occurs when the embryo begins to grow again and pushing out of the seed
5. carries substances between the plant's roots and leaves, provides support for the plant
6. Anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and sometimes store food
11. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures
12. Usually the most colorful parts of the flower, pollinators are attracted to their color and sent
14. Old, inactive xylem that helps support the tree
15. Female reproductive part of a flower
16. Structures in which food is made
21. Pollen is produced here
23. Outer bark that protects the cells inside
24. Vascular tissue that transports water; also known as sapwood in trees
27. Protects the root as it grows through the soil
28. Hard to pull out of the ground, Cacti are examples
29. Capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food-making process of photosynthesis
31. Vascular tissue that transports food

1. Male reproductive part of a flower
2. Waxy layers that help plant reduces water loss
3. Scattering of seeds by either animals or the wind
7. Leaflike parts of a flower, protect the developing flower
8. Protects the seeds as they develop
9. Reproductive structure of an angiosperm
10. Consists of many similarly sized roots, forming a dense tangled mass, Onions are examples
13. Slender tube, connects the stigma to a hollow structure at the base of the flower
17. Type of stem that is often soft, example ivy
18. Represent a year of growth in a tree, made from xylem
19. Acts like plastic wrap, protecting the embryo and its food from drying out
20. Pores that control when gases enter of leave the leaf
22. Fertilized egg
25. Type of stem that is hard and rigid, like in most trees.
26. Tissue that produces new xylem and phloem
30. The young plant that develops from the zygote
