Transports solutions of nutrients and carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis

Underground organs that absorb water and minerals

Vascular tissue made of xylem and phloem

Photosynthetic organs that contain one or more bundles of vascular tissue

Supporting structures that connect roots and leaves, carrying water and nutrients between them

Plants that bear their seeds directly on the surface of cones

Called "flowering plants" that bear their seeds within a layer of tissue that protects the seed

seed-bearing structures of gymnosperms

Seed-bearing structures of angiosperms

Tiny structure that contains the male gametophyte (sperm producer)

The transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure

An embryo of a plant that is encased in a protective covering and surrounded by a food supply

Of the first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed, this has only one seed leaf

Of the first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed, this has two seed leaves

The first pair of leaves produced by the embryo of a seed

Flowering plants that complete a life cycle within one growing cycle (ex: marigolds, petunias, pansies, zinnias, wheat, and cucumbers)

Flowering plants that complete a life cycle within two years (ex: evening primrose, parsley, celery, and foxglove) the first year, they grow roots, very short stems, and sometimes leaves. The second year they grow new stems and leaves and then produce flowers and seeds. Once they produce seeds, the plant dies

Flowering plants that live more than two years (most have woody stems) ex: palm trees, sagebrush, maple trees, and honeysuckle
