Identify "D" in the diagram and describe its role in pollination. 
Stigma.
The pollen sticks to it and goes down the pollen tube. The pollen is able to fertilize the egg cells in the ovary to make seeds.

Why are the leaves, stem, and roots important to the plant?
1.The leaves are the site of photosynthesis.
2.The stem carries nutrients and water through the plant.
3.The roots anchor the plant to the ground and absorb water.

The _________ is the organelle that carries out photosynthesis and makes glucose.
The _________is the organelle that breaks down glucose for energy.
chloroplast, mitochondrion

Identify accessory parts of the plant and explain their purpose.
Petals.
They attract pollinators to aid in reproduction but are not required for survival.

Explain why six carbon dioxide and six water molecules are needed for photosynthesis (include a law in your answer)
Glucose contains 6 carbons, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen...the law of conservation of matter states that there need to be enough atoms in the reactants to make the products

Describe the entire process of pollination/fertilization in the flower.
1. Pollen is produced in the anther.
2. The wind or a pollinator carries pollen from the anther to the stigma.
3. The pollen sticks to the sticky stigma, goes down the pollen tube into the ovary and fertilizes the egg cells to produce seeds.

What kind of cell is depicted below? Use your knowledge of organelles to explain your answer.
Plant cell - contains cell wall and chloroplasts

Where does most of the mass of a plant come from? Use your knowledge of atomic mass to explain your answer.
CO2.
Glucose can be used for immediate energy. It also can be used to build plant structures like cellulose. The carbon and oxygen in glucose both come from CO2 (both of which are heavier atoms than hydrogen). The very light hydrogen atoms come from water.
