  1. 3. – The process by which plants break down glucose using oxygen to release energy for growth and maintenance.
  2. 5. – The part of the flower that contains ovules (eggs) and develops into a fruit after fertilization.
  3. 8. – The fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast surrounding the grana.
  4. 9. – Stacks of thylakoids that increase surface area for photosynthesis.
  5. 10. – A green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
  6. 14. – The tube that connects the stigma to the ovary and allows pollen to travel downward.
  7. 15. - An example of a bryophyte
  8. 17. – A non-flowering plant
  9. 18. – The sticky top that receives pollen.
  10. 19. – The stalk that holds up the anther.
  11. 20. – The plant organ that anchors the plant and absorbs water and minerals from the soil.

  1. 1. – A fertilized ovule containing an embryo and a food supply for a new plant. Often found in the middle of fruits.
  2. 2. – A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed within a fruit.
  3. 4. – The process by which plants use light energy to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen.
  4. 6. – The part of the stamen that produces pollen.
  5. 7. – An example of a pteridophyte
  6. 11. – A plant cell organelle where photosynthesis happens.
  7. 12. – The plant organ that supports the plant, leaves and flowers and transports water, minerals, and sugars.
  8. 13. – The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower.
  9. 16. – The main photosynthetic organ of a plant, adapted to capture light and exchange gases.
