  1. 1. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
  2. 2. A fine dust that contains the sperm of seed-producing plants
  3. 5. angiosperm with two cotyledons inside its seed
  4. 9. Process in sexual reproduction in which male cells (pollen) and female cells (ovules) join to form a new cell
  5. 10. primary root found in some plants that grows longer and thicker than other roots
  6. 12. Female part of the flower
  7. 13. vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant
  8. 16. a low-growing plant that lacks true vascular tissue
  9. 18. A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts to reduce water loss in plants.
  10. 19. a structure that covers the tip of a root, protecting the root from injury
  11. 22. angiosperm whose seeds have one cotyledon
  12. 23. Saclike structure on the stamen that produces pollen.
  13. 24. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures in plants
  14. 26. group of seed plants whose seeds are not encased by an ovary or fruit, but are typically in cones
  15. 27. A structure that develops within the ovary of a seed plant and contains an egg. If fertilized, becomes a seed.

  9. 15. a flowering plant that produces seeds within a fruit
  10. 17. Softer, more flexible, and often green plant stems
  11. 20. Carbohydrate component of plant cell walls.
  12. 21. root system root system made up of many threadlike members of more or less equal length
  13. 24. Broad, flat, thin parts of a flower that are usually brightly colored and attract pollinators
  14. 25. vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant
