What is the Pistil
100
This term refers to the reproduction of plants.
What is Propagation?
100
This is a term for when plants begin to grow. This process begins when the seed absorbs water.
What is Germination?
100
These are considered the three main parts of the seed
What are embryo, endosperm, and seed coat
200
This part of the seed is where food/energy storage is in a monocot seed.
What is the endosperm
200
The male organ of the plant.
What is the stamen?
200
The use of seeds to reproduce.
What is Sexual Propagation?
200
This is a process in which you plan the seed directly in the location it will be in permanently.
What is Direct Seeding?
200
These three parts of the plant are considered the "vegetative" parts of the plant.
What are roots, stems, & leaves.
300
This part of the seed is considered the first embryonic leaves of the seed.
What is a cotyledon?
300
This part of the plant is where pollen is made and stored.
What is the anther?
300
The use of the vegetative parts of the plant to reproduce.
What is Asexual reproduction
300
The process in which a seed must go through a period of cold temperatures before it will germinate.
What is Stratification?
300
A seed with two cotyledons is referred to as this.
What is a dicot seed?
400
This is where food is stored in a dicot seed
What is the cotyledon
400
This part of the plant is where the eggs are stored.
What is the ovary?
400
This process creates a genetically identical plant, or a "clone"
What is Asexual Propagation
400
This process is when you plant the seed in another location than where it will end up. Typically done using small seed containers and then transplanted to larger containers or outside.
What is Indirect Seeding?
400
A seed with only one cotyledon is referred to as this.
What is a monocot seed?

This part of the seed is considered the "immature plant". It can also be referred to as the new plant created through fertilization.
What is the embryo
500
The male organ of the plant includes what two parts?
What are the anthers and filaments
500
This process requires the transfer of pollen from the male part of a plant to the female part of plant to create a seed used to reproduce.
What is Sexual Propagation
500
This is the process of breaking down the seed coat.
What is scarification?
500
What environmental factors are required for germination to occur?
