Plant
Anatomy
The__________ anchor the plant and
absorb water and minerals which travel to
all parts of the plant.
roots
The part of the plant that
connects its roots and leaves
is called the _______.
stem
The part of the plant that
grows out of the stem and is
the food-making factory of the
plant is called the
_____________.
leaves
The ____________ is the
reproductive part of a flowering
plant. Seeds are produced
here.
flower
The ___________ is the male
part of the flower.
stamen
The ___________ is the
female part of the flower. It
contains the eggs.
pistil
Plant
Reproduction
______________ is the
transfer of pollen grains from
the stamen to the pistil. This
process makes seeds.
pollination
The _________ is a tiny new
plant formed by the fertilized
egg.
embryo
A ___________ is a
reproductive cell that can
develop into a new organism.
Ferns form these.
spore
Photosynthes
is
_________________ is the
process of using light energy to
combine carbon dioxide and
water to produce glucose
(food).
photosynthesi
s
________________ is the
green material in plants that
traps energy from sunlight and
gives plants a green color.
chlorophyll
_____________ is a gas in the
air.
Carbon
dioxide
Dormancy
This is a resting state for a
seed. A seed will remain
dormant until it has water,
oxygen and a certain
temperature.
