1.
angiosperm: a plant that produces seeds that are enclosed in a fruit
2.
auxin: the plant hormone that speeds up the rate of growth of plant cells
3.
cambium: they divide to produce new xylem and phloem
4.
cone: cones are covered in scales and there are two types of cones- male and female.
5.
cotyledon: a seed leaf that stores food
6.
dicot: an angiosperm that has two seed leaves
7.
dormancy: a period when an organism's growth or activity stops
8.
embryo: the young plant that develops from the zygote
9.
flower: the reproductive structure of an angiosperm
10.
fruit: a ripened ovary and other structures that enclose one or more seeds.
11.
germination: the sprouting of the embryo out of a seed; occurs when the embryo resumes its growth
12.
gymnosperm: a plant that produces seeds that are not enclosed by a protective fruit- are called naked seeds
13.
hormone: a chemical that affects how the plant grows and develops
14.
monocot: an angiosperm that has only one seed leaf
15.
ovary: protects the seeds as they develop
16.
ovule: a structure that contains an egg cell
17.
petals: usually the most colorful part of the flower
18.
phloem: tissue that conducts synthesized food substances to parts where needed
19.
photoperiodism: a plant's response to seasonal changes in length of night and day
20.
pistils: the female reproductive parts of the flower
21.
pollen: the fine spores that contain male gametes and that are borne by an anther in a flowering plant
22.
pollination: the transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures in plants
23.
root cap: a structure that covers the tip of a root, protecting the root from injury
24.
seed: a structure that contains a young plant inside a protective covering
25.
sepals: protect the developing flower and are often green in color
26.
stamens: the male reproductive parts of the flower
27.
stomata: small openings on the surface layers of the leaf that open and close to control when gases enter and leave the leaf
28.
transpiration: evaporation of water from a plant's leaves
29.
tropism: A growth response of a plant toward or away from a stimulus
30.
xylem: the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels
