Plant Cells

100

This organelle is the one responsible for carrying out the process of photosynthesis. 

Chloroplast

200

This organelle has both rough and smooth variants. 

Endoplasmic Reticulum

300

This organelle is the primary site for protein synthesis. 

Ribsome

400

This organelle is responsible for creating energy for the cell. 

Mitochondria

500

This organelle takes proteins and lipids from the Endoplasmic Reticulum and transports them throughout the cell. 

Golgi Apparatus

Germination

100

The act of planting seeds in a growing media. 

Sowing

200

There are several factors affecting germination rate. Some of these are temperature, air and moisture. What is the another factor that was discussed?

Light

300

This is the process of weakening a seed coat mechanically or chemically. 

Scarification

400

The average number of seeds that will sprout given a specific amount of time. 

Germination rate. 

500

Resting stage for seeds that prevents them from germinating. 

Dormancy

Photosynthesis

100

These are the flattened membranes located in the chloroplast responsible for the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis

Thylakoids

200

The process by which green plants use sunlight to produce energy from carbon dioxide and water. 

Photosynthesis

300

A series of reactions that use energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into glucose. 

Calvin Cycle

400

Pigment that gives plants its green color. 

Chlorophyll

500

Fluid filled space within chloroplast where light dependent reactions occur. 

Stroma

Pollination

100

This is the female reproductive part of a plant, consisting of the stigma, style, ovary and ovules. 

Pistil

200

This part is located on top of the stamen and is responsible for producing pollen. 

Anther

300

Pollination that occurs within the same plant. 

Self-Pollination

400

The hollow tube located within the pistil that connects the stigma to the ovary. 

Style

500

This type of pollination results in high genetic diversity. 

Cross-Pollination

Plant Classification

100

Plants are sometimes classified by their stem growth, such as climbing, erect and __________. 

Decumbent

200

This is occasionally added to binomial nomenclature and is a combination of "cultivation" and "variety"

Cultivar

300

These types of plants lose their leaves during the winter. 

Deciduous

400

This refers to a plants ability to withstand temperature extremes. 

Hardiness

500

The second part of a scientific name. Spelled in all lowercase letters.
