This vessel makes up part of the vascular tissue of a plant. It carries water and dissolved ions from the roots to the stems and leaves.

This vessel carries dissolved sugars from the leaves to all other parts of the plant.

Epidermal cells secrete a waxy substance called _____, which coats, waterproofs, and protects the above-ground parts of plants.

Within the epidermis, thousands of pairs of bean-shaped cells called ________, swell and shrink by osmosis to open and close tiny pores which control the exchange of gases and the release of water vapor.

Within the epidermis, thousands of pairs of bean-shaped cells swell and shrink to open and close _______, which are tiny pores that control the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases and the release of water vapor.

This type of tissue is capable of cell division (mitosis).

This structure produces male gametes (pollen) for sexual reproduction.

This structure receives pollen grains during pollination due to their sticky nature.

This structure produces female gametes for sexual reproduction.

The pollen tube travels through the ______ to reach the ovule (female gamete).

________ is the fusion of male and female gametes in the flowers of the plant. This fused cell develops into a seed, and the ovary develops into a fruit. The seed contains a baby plant, also called an embryo and reserved food required for its growth in future.
