Across
- 3. Consists of the stigma (receives pollen), style (stalk supporting the stigma), and ovary (contains ovules that become seeds).
- 7. The largest group, which produces flowers and fruits to house seeds.
- 8. Plants Vascular systems with spore-based reproduction, such as ferns, club mosses, and horsetails.
- 9. Grow for three or more years, with some dying back each winte
- 10. Leaf-like structures at the base that protect the developing flower bud.
- 12. Seeds have one leaf, parallel-veined leaves, and flower parts in multiples of three.
- 13. Require two growing seasons to complete their life cycle, often focusing on vegetative growth in the first year.
Down
- 1. Lacking xylem and phloem, these are small, simple plants like mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
- 2. Seeds have two leaves, net-veined leaves, and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
- 4. Seed-bearing plants with exposed seeds, typically in cones, including conifers like pine and spruce.
- 5. Often brightly colored to attract pollinators like insects and birds, providing a landing platform.
- 6. Complete their life cycle (sprout, flower, die) in one growing season.
- 11. Comprised of the anther (pollen production) and filament (stalk supporting the anther).
