Across
- 1. a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees (see page 2 of packet).
- 3. a simple, low-growing, nonflowering plant (such as a moss or liverwort) that lacks specialized conducting channels (see page 2 of packet).
- 6. A plant structure in seed plants that produces the female gametophyte; contains an egg cell (pg.481)
- 7. a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit. Gymnosperms include the conifers, cycads, and ginkgo (see page 2 of packet).
- 9. The transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures in plants (pg.481).
Down
- 2. plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not produce flowers or seeds. In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns and horsetails, the plants reproduce using haploid, unicellular spores instead of seeds (see page 2 of packet).
- 4. The reproductive structures of gymnosperms (pg.475).
- 5. A fertilized egg, produced by the joining of a sperm and an egg (pg. 485).
- 7. The sprouting of the embryo out of a seed; occurs when the embryo resumes its growth following dormancy (pg. 478)
- 8. The ripened ovary and other structures of an angiosperm that enclose one or more seeds (pg. 477)
