|
|

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| petals | brightly colored, to attract insects such as bees, for pollination
🗑
|
||||
| sepals | external, protective covering of the flower bud
🗑
|
||||
| stamen | male part of the flower, made up of the anther and filament
🗑
|
||||
| anther | in seed plants, the part that produces pollen which is carried from flower to flower, and is part of the stamen
🗑
|
||||
| pistil | female parts of the flower consisting of the stigma, syle, and ovary
🗑
|
||||
| ovary | in seed plants, the female reproductive part that produces the egg
🗑
|
||||
| fertilization | the union of male pollen and female ovules to create seeds
🗑
|
||||
| reproduction | the production of new individuals or offspring in plants
🗑
|
||||
| pollination | the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma
🗑
|
||||
| epidermis | a single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants. It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment.
🗑
|
||||
| stomata | the tiny openings in the epidermis of a plant, through which gases and water vapor pass. Permits the absorption of carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis from the air, as well as the removal of excess oxygen.
🗑
|
||||
| guard cell | each of a pair of curved cells that surround stomata. They open and close the stomata.
🗑
|
||||
| glucose | a sugar produced in plants during photosynthesis
🗑
|
||||
| photosynthesis | the process by which green plants use sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants involves the green pigment chlorophyll and produces oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| respiration | The opposite of photosynthesis. During respiration, plants absorb oxygen and use them to create water, carbon dioxide, and energy, which helps the plant grow.
🗑
|
||||
| transpiration | Transpiration is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
🗑
|
||||
| cholorophyll | a green pigment, present in all green plants, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
🗑
|
||||
| tropism | the response of an organism, esp a plant, to an external stimulus by growth in a direction determined by the stimulus like water or sunlight
🗑
|
||||
| stimulus | something that provokes a response in a plant, such as sunlight or water
🗑
|
||||
| filament | supports the anther to make it accessible to insects
🗑
|
||||
| stigma | sticky portion at the top of the style wherenthe pollen grains usually land
🗑
|
||||
| style | part of the pistil, between the ovary and stigma, that transports pollen to the ovary
🗑
|
||||
| ovule | the female egg in the plant
🗑
