Unit 9 - Plant Vocabulary TERM Adenosine Triphosphate Anther Carpel Cellular Respiration Chloroplasts Filament Flower Gametophyte Germination Glucose Gravitropism Guard cells Leaf Mitochondria DEFINITION The primary molecule in which energy is stored in chemical bonds for future use in cellular processes The portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant that contains pollen (the male gametes) The seed producing reproductive organ in flowering plants that contains the ovule, stigma, and style The chemical process of converting chemical energy (glucose) into an alternative form of chemical energy (ATP) for use in carrying out life processes The organelle that contains chlorophyll which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur The slender stalk-like portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; supports the anther The reproductive organ in angiosperms that develop into fruit and seeds The haploid stage of a plant that produces gametes by mitosis The process of sprouting and growing C6H12O6 is a monosaccharide sugar that is produced in photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration for energy production A plant’s ability to move toward the earth (roots) or away from the earth (stems) Cells surrounding the stoma that regulate the size of the stoma The specialized part of a plant that is mainly used for gas exchange; comes in various forms and often is the primary form of adaptation in plants Organelle where energy is produced during cellular respiration; the power house of the cell Phototropism The enlarged portion at the base of the reproductive structure of the flowering plant that contains ovules (the female gamete); after fertilization it will become the fruit of the plant Structure within the ovary of a plant containing the female reproductive cells; develops into the seed after fertilization Leaves surrounding the reproductive structures of flowering plants, often specialized to attract pollinators Plant tissue that moves glucose produced by the leaves throughout the plant The chemical process of converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose); occurs in autotrophic organisms A plant’s ability to move toward the sunlight Pistil The female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the stigma, style, and ovary Pollen Pollination Small particles containing a plant’s sperm cells The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma within a flower The specialized part of a plant that grows down into the soil to anchor the plant and absorb nutrients Protective structure that surrounds a flower bud, and supports petals after a flower blooms Usually unicellular body formed as a result of either asexual or sexual reproduction; has the ability to give rise to a new organism and the advantage of being able to wait until ideal environmental conditions exist The male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the anther and the filament The specialized part of a plant that grows in the opposite direction of the roots and supports the flower, leaves, or fruit of the plant The sticky tip of the female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; it is sticky in order to capture pollen for the purpose of pollination A tiny pore in the epidermis of a leaf used for gas exchange The slender stalk-like portion of the female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; supports the stigma A plant’s ability to move when it comes in contact with another object The process of a plant absorbing water through the roots and then releasing water vapor through its stomata in the leaves Ovary Ovule Petal Phloem Photosynthesis Roots Sepal Spore Stamen Stem Stigma Stoma Style Thigmotropism Transpiration Vascular Tissue A set of ducts and vessels which allows water, minerals and food to move throughout the plant Xylem Plant tissue that moves water absorbed in roots throughout the plant Page 1 of 1
