| Vascular plant | A plant that contains vascular tissue that can stand up and transport water and nutrients |
| Ferns | The simplest vascular plant, still uses spores |
| Gymnosperms | Naked seeds, these are pine trees |
| Conifer | Pine trees |
| Angiosperms | Flowering plants, the most complex of all plants |
| Cuticle | The waxy covering on leaves, stems and fruit to prevent water loss |
| Stomata | The pores in plant leaves that allow the plant to exchange gases (transpire) |
| Transpiration | Plant breathing |
| Guard cells | Cells surround the stomata, that use water to open and close that help prevent extra water from being lost |
| Xylem | The rings of a tree, Part of the vascular tissue used to carry water and nutrient UP from the roots to the leaves |
| Phloem | Part of the vascular tissue used to carry water and nutrients DOWN from the leaves to the roots |
| Roots | Organs of a plant used to stabilize it and absorb water and nutrients |
| Root hairs | Hair like projections that come off the main root to increase surface are to absorb more water |
| Self-pollinate | A plant that pollinates itself |
| Cross pollination | A plant that gets pollen from another plant to become pollinated |
| Co-evolution | 2 species (flower and insect) evolve together to make each better suited |
| Phototropism | Plant bends towards the sun |
