Flower

Flower

bees use this to collect pollen to create honey

Stigma

f used to collect pollen

Style

f connects stigma and ovary

Ovary

f eggs form, estrogen and progesterone made

Pistil

f support pollination, ultimately leads to fertilisation

Pollen Tube

m, sexual reproduction of flower

Anther

m, the stamen is where pollen is produced

Filament

m, carry nutrients to anther for pollen grain development

Stamen

m, contains phloem and xylem

Petal

m, attract pollinators with bright colours

Ovule

f, forms the seeds of flowering plants

Receptacle

f, thickened part of stem, flower grows from this

Sepal

n, encloses and protects developing reproductive structures

Cambium

cell that acts as wall

Vescular Tissue

complex conducting tissue, formed by many cells

Xylem

vescular or tissue that takes water up from the roots

Phloem

vescular tissue that transports nutrients up and down the plant

Meristimatic Tissue

undifferentiated cells

Secondary/ Lateral

found in wooden plants, vascular cambium and increases girth in stem

Apical

growing tip, found in buds and tips, as well as cell division, growth, roots and stem

Transpiration

process of osmosis to diffusion through leaf SA

Process

root, xylem, column xylem, mesophyll
