Leaves

• The organs of a plant that carry out photosynthesis to make food

• The part of the plant that absorbs water from the soil

• The structure that supports the plant and holds it upright

• The reproductive part of the plant that produces seeds

Cotyledon

• Temporary food supply for a seed

• Part of the flower that attracts pollinators

• The outer layer of a seed

• A type of root system

Dispersal

• When pollen is moved from one flower to another

• The process of seed spreading to new locations

• The movement of water through plant roots

• The transfer of nutrients from soil to plants

Pollen

• The structure which contains the male gamete in plants

• The part of the plant that absorbs water

• The leaf structure responsible for photosynthesis

• The root system that anchors the plant

Chloroplast

• The organelle that carries out photosynthesis in plants

• The part of the cell responsible for energy production

• The structure that provides support and shape to the cell

• The site of protein synthesis in the cell

Testa

• Protective outer coating of a seed

• A type of seed dispersal mechanism

• The process of seed germination

• A nutrient-rich layer inside the seed

Carpel

• The male reproductive parts of a flower: stamen, anther, and filament

• The female reproductive parts of a flower: stigma, style and ovary

• The green parts of a flower that protect the bud: sepals

• The colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators: petals

Carbon dioxide

• A gas that is used in the process of photosynthesis.

• A liquid that is essential for human survival.

• A solid that forms when carbon is burned.

• A gas that contributes to global warming.

Photosynthesis

• The process of plants making their own food (glucose)

• The process of animals obtaining energy from food

• The process of plants absorbing water from the soil

• The process of converting sunlight into heat energy

Anther

• Tip of the male part of a flower that makes pollen

• Part of the flower that attracts pollinators

• Base of the flower that supports petals

• Leaf-like structure that protects the flower bud
