Cells
This organelle contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
This tissue transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
What is xylem?
This gas enters the leaf through stomata and is used in photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
These structures absorb water and minerals and anchor the plant.
What are roots?
This flower structure receives pollen grains.
What is the stigma?
This organelle controls the activities of the cell and contains genetic information.
What is the nucleus?
This sugar is transported via phloem throughout the plant.
What is glucose?
This leaf adaptation increases the amount of sunlight absorbed for photosynthesis.
What is a large surface area / many chloroplasts?
This adaptation allows a cactus to store water during dry periods.
What is a thick stem?
This flower structure refers to both the anther and the filament.
What is the stamen?
This large structure stores water and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.
What is the vacuole?
This tissue is responsible for growth at root and shoot tips.
What is meristematic tissue?
During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into this form of stored energy in glucose molecules.
What is chemical energy?
These tiny extensions increase the surface area available for absorption.
What are root hairs?
Bright petals, scent, and nectar are adaptations associated with this type of pollination.
What is insect pollination?
These cells usually contain more chloroplasts than root cells because they receive light.
What are leaf cells?
This condition occurs when plant cells lose turgor pressure due to insufficient water.
What is wilting?
This cellular process releases the energy from glucose made during photosynthesis.
What is respiration?
This major plant system includes the stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits found above ground.
What is the shoot system?
One major advantage of this type of pollination is increased genetic variation.
What is cross-pollination?
These flattened membrane sacs inside chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What are thylakoids?
This tissue consists of thick, lignified cell walls and provides strong structural support to mature plant parts.
What is sclerenchyma?
This molecular formula represents glucose, the sugar produced during photosynthesis.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆?
This process involves the loss of water vapor from a plant's leaves through the stomata.
What is transpiration?
This unique process in flowering plants occurs when one sperm cell fertilizes the egg and another fuses with the polar nuclei to form endosperm.
What is double fertilization?
