Leaves
How do leaves help the plant and what is that process called
Leave make food for the plant by photosynthesis
Structures grown by coniferous trees to make seeds instead of producing flowers
cones
This type of single large root grows deep into the soil toward Earth's center, like in carrots and dandelions
Taproot
In the beginning stages of a plant, what is the small plant called
seedling
The word reproduce means
To make the same thing of something
The green pigment in leaves
Chlorophyl
Three physical traits (other than flowers or seeds) that scientists examine to sort plants into groups
Color, shape, and size
Inside most stems, these tiny structures carry water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves
tubes
These colorful flower parts attract bees and other animals
flower petals
To germinate, seeds need air, water, and the right level of this
temperature
Plants absorb this gas from the surrounding air through tiny surface holes to kick off food production
Carbon dioxide
The term for trees that shed their leaves in the fall and regrow them in the spring
Deciduous trees
This vegetable is an underground stem with buds called "eyes" that can grow into new plants
potatoes
Both flower plants and coniferous plants begin their life cycle with a seed that
germinates
A developing plant inside a seed can have one or two of these
After leaves manufacture sugar, it travels down through this pathway to feed the rest of the plant
Stem
How can you classify a rosebush
a flowering plant with prickly stems
This force pulls taproots deep downward into the ground
gravity
This word means to begin to grow
germinate
This force carries pollen from small pollen cones to large seed cones
wind
The cactus prevents water loss in dry habitats by using this special leaf surface layer
Waxy coating
The main practical reason scientists classify plants into groups
To help identify plants
These thin roots spread out near the surface to catch rain, like in grass and pine trees
fibrous roots
The stages of life every living thing goes through
Life cycle
The seeds in a coniferous plant are found in
the cone
