biology
The ability of plants and some fungi to grow toward or away from a light source
phototropism
The process of sprouting and growing
Germination
A primary root that grows down with small
lateral roots
taproot
The slender, stalk-like portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; supports the anther
filament
what is the function of the cell wall
it provides the cell with it's structure shape and protects it.
A plant's ability to orient its growth toward (roots) or away from (stems) the center of Earth
gravitropism
Plant tissue that transports sugars produced by the leaves throughout the plant
Phloem
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells
chloroplast
Something that carries pollen from one flower to the next
pollinator
what two things are in plants but not in animals or bacteria
cell wall and chloroplast
Growth of a plant in response to physical contact
thigmotrophism
The result of a fertilized plant ovule; can be cultivated to produce a new plant
Seed
The movement of water from the roots of a plant through the stem and leaves and into the atmosphere via evaporation
Transpiration
The process by which organisms produce more of their own kind
reproduction
The slender, stalk-like portion of the female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; supports the stigma
style
A change in a system resulting from a stimulus
response
The process by which autotrophic organisms capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, thereby storing some of the captured energy in chemical bonds
photosynthesis
Multicellular eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae
plants
The portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant that contains pollen (the male gamete)
anther
The sticky tip of the female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; captures pollen for the purpose of pollination
Stigma
Plant tissue that transports water absorbed in roots throughout the plant
Xylem
A haploid, unicellular structure formed for the purpose of reproduction that can be dispersed and form gametes for sexual reproduction when conditions are favorable
Spore
The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in flowering plants
pollination
The female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the stigma, style, and ovary
pistil
The male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the anther and the filament
Stamen
