what is phototropism
The ability of plants and some fungi to grow toward or away from a light source
what is Pollination
The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma in flowering plants
What is the Filament
The slender, stalk-like portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; supports the anther
What is a response
A change in a system resulting from a stimulus
What are pioneer species
the first plant species to grow during primary succession
what is Transpiration
The movement of water from the roots of a plant through the stem and leaves and into the atmosphere via evaporation
pollinator
Something that carries pollen from one flower to the next
what is the stigma
The sticky tip of the female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; captures pollen for the purpose of pollination
What is photosynthesis
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
What is an angiosperm
a type of plant that produces flowers
What is taproot
A primary root that grows down with small
lateral roots
What is reproduction
The process by which organisms produce more of their own kind
what is the style

what organelles do plant cells have that animal cells don't
the chloroplast and chlorophyl
What does the hormone auxin that plants produce do
helps manage the lengthing of the cell and involved in the growth
What is the chloroplast
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells
What is the pistil
The female reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the stigma, style, and ovary
What is the ovary
An organ that produces female gametes (ova)
what is a gametophyte
the haploid stage of a plant that produces gametes by mitosis
what types of plant structures do some plants have to help defend themselves from predators
thorns, toxic/poisoinous chemicals, etc etc
What are plants
Multicellular eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae
what is the Anther
The portion of the male reproductive structure of a flowering plant that contains pollen (the male gamete)
What is the stamen
The male reproductive structure of a flowering plant; consists of the anther and the filament
what is a monocot
a flowering plant whose seed has one cotyledon
what do plants produce that benefits us humans since we need it to live?
Oxygen
