function
the actions and activities expected of a plant or plant part
anatomy
another word for structure
flower
the reproductive structure found in flowering plants

leaf
an organ of a vascular plant. the main structure responsible for photosynthesis.

stem
provides support and allows movement of water and nutrients

roots
anchors a plant and take water and nutrients from the soil

petals
modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored.

seeds
structures that contain a young plant inside a protective covering

spores
Some plants reproduce using these. These include ferns and mosses.

stamen
the male reproductive part of a flower

stigma

pistil

sepal

reproduction
Producing more cells
pollination
transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a plant

fern
a vascular plant that has feathery fronds and reproduces without seeds

moss
a plant that grows from spores - a soil builder - needs very little soil to grow in - keeps soil from being washed away in the rain

photosynthesis
This is how green plants produce their own food. They use chlorophyll to produce food (sugar), using carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and sunlight. Oxygen is produced during this process.

sunlight
the rays of the sun

water
a fluid necessary for the life of most animals and plants

germination
the process of seeds or spores sprouting and beginning to grow

chlorophyll
Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis

oxygen
a gas that animals need to live and that plants give off into the air
carbon dioxide
a gas in the atmosphere that's used by plants in photosynthesis and given off when animals breath
sugar
A product of photosynthesis. Solar energy is converted to chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in this form. Also called glucose.

adaptation
inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival
dormancy
a period of suspended life processes brought on by changes in the environment
response to light
the way an organism responds when light is shined on it
response to moisture
the way an organism responds when water added to it
