photosynthesis | plants make sugar from the sun's energy |
chloroplasts | where photosynthesis takes place |
leaves | absorb sun's energy, photosynthesis |
roots | absorb water and nutrients, hold plant in place |
stem | transport water and nutrients |
flower | makes new plants |
Needed for photosynthesis | CO2 + H2O+ sunlight |
Get from photosynthesis | Sugar + O2 |
Respiration | process where sugar is turned into energy |
Needed for respiration | Sugar + O2 |
Get from respiration | Energy + CO2 + H2O |
pollination | when pollen from a stamen lands on a pistil |
fertilization | when a pollen particle sends a shoot down the pistil and connects with an egg |
seed | the result of fertilization |
seed coat | the outer covering of a seed |
transport seeds | animals, wind, water |
stomata | tiny openings in underside of a leaf |
stamen | male part of a flower |
pistil | female part of a flower |
petals | colored part of a flower |
anther | top of stamen, holds pollen |
pollen | male seed used to fertilize egg |
egg | female cell, combines with pollen to make a seed |
