adaptationA body part or behavior that helps an organism survive
camouflageA color or shape that helps an animal hide
instinctA complex behavior that is inborn

migrationThe movement of animals from one region to another and back
ImprintingLearned behavior where one animal forms a close attachment with another
ConditioningLearned behavior that involves pairing two unrelated stimuli
StimulusSomething in the environment that causes a response
Vascular tissueTissue in plants that moves water and food
Gymnospermcone-bearing seed plant that has vascular tissue
AngiospermFlowering plant; has seeds enclosed in fruits and vascular tissue
Bryophytenon vascular plant; a moss
PollenPlant sperm used in angiosperms and gymnosperms
LeafThe organ of a plant that does photosynthesis and takes in carbon dioxide
RootThe organ of a plant that anchors plant and absorbs water
Root hairAdaptation that allows plants to absorb more water
FlowerReproductive organ in an angiosperm
PetalBrightly colored part of flower that attracts pollinators
FruitStructure that surrounds the seed in angiosperms
Stomatatiny holes on bottom of leaf that take in carbon dioxide and let water exit
TranspirationEvaporation of water from plant stomata
SeedStructure in plant that contains baby plant (embryo), food source, and protective coating
PollinationTransfer of pollen from stamen to pistil
FertilizationJoining of egg and sperm
Seed DispersalProcess of moving seed far away from parent plant
StamenMale reproductive part in flower
PistilFemale reproductive part in flower
OvaryIn angiosperms, becomes the fruit
