| Kingdom Plantae | Kingdom that includes eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic organisms |
| Vascular | Plants that have roots & shoots, which uses xylem & phloem to move H2O & nutrients through plant |
| Non-Vascular | Plants that do not have roots and shoots, but absorb H2O & nutrients |
| Seeds | Diploid, embryo & nutritive package |
| Spores | Haploid, used to reproduce, reproductive cell |
| Diploid | Cell that contains double (2n) set of chromosomes |
| Haploid | Cell that contains a single (n) set of chromosomes |
| Pollination | Sperm getting to plant with the egg |
| Fertilization | Fusion of sperm and egg |
| Roots | Underground structures that absorb H2O and nutrients from soil & anchor the plant in the ground |
| Shoots | Stems & leaves; stems-hold the plant upright & allow transport, Leaves-trap light for photosynthesis |
| Xylem | Tissue that provides support to a plant and moves water from the roots to all parts of the plant |
| Phloem | Tissue that is responsible for the movement of nutrients and photosynthetic products from the leaves to all parts of the plant |
| Tropism | Plant responses to environmental stimuli |
| Positive tropism | Plant grows toward a stimulus |
| Negative tropism | Plant grows away from a stimulus |
| Phototropism | Plant response to light |
| Gravitropism | Plant response to gravity |
| Thigmotropism | Plant response to touch |
| Monocots | One cotyledons or seed leaf, parallel leaf veins, petals in multiples of 3's, and vascular tissue is distributed throughout |
| Dicots | Two cotyledons or seed leaf, leaf veins are netlike, flower parts are in multiples of fours or fives, and vascular tissues are in rings |
| Prokaryotic | Single celled organism whose cells do not have a nucleus |
| Cotyledon | Seed leaves |
| Seed coat | Structure that surrounds a plant embryo |
| Photosynthesis | Process by which plants produce food from light energy |
| Gymnosperm | Naked seed plant-seeds do not develop within ovaries |
| Angiosperm | Flowering plant whose seeds develop within ovaries |
| Cuticle | Noncellular protective coating on the exterior surface of an organism EX. waxy covering on leaves |
| Stomata | Opening in the leaf epidermis through which water vapor and oxygen pass of the leaf and carbon dioxide passes into it |
| Anther | Structure in which male gametophytes are produced in flowering plants |
| Filament | In a plant, the long, thin structure that supports the anther |
| Pollen | Mature or immature, sperm-bearing male gametophyte of gymnosperms and flowering plants |
| Stamen | Male reproductive structure of a flower belonging to the first circle of fertile leaves located just inside the petals |
| Pistil | Female reproductive structure in a flower formed from one or more carpels; consists of the ovary, style, and stigma |
| Stigma | Upper part of the pistil upon which pollen grains are deposited |
| Guard Cells | Specialized epidermal cell that controls the opening and closing of the stomata by responding to changes in water pressure |
| Style | Stalk between the stigma and the ovary in a flower |
| Ovary | Base of the pistil that contains ovules and developing gametophytes |
| Ovules | Specialized reproductive structure in seed plants |
| Vascular bundle | Strand of xylem and phloem cells |
| Pollination | Transfer of pollen from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a pistil |
