Tap Root The main straight root of a plant that has smaller
roots growing out from its sides
Slide 35
Fibrous Root A root system in some plants such as grasses that
consists of numerous very fine branches of approximately the same
length
Slide 36
Stems The main stalk of a plant that bears buds and shoots
Slide 37
Xylem The woody supportive plant tissue that carries water and
dissolved minerals from the roots through the stem and leaves
Slide 38
Phloem One of the two main types of tissue in vascular plants,
which conducts synthesized nutrients to all parts of the plant. It
is made up of sap-conducting tubes sieve tubes and the cells that
lie alongside them companion cells, elongated cells of soft tissue
parenchyma, and fibers.
Slide 39
Cambium A cylindrical layer of cells in plant roots and stems
that produces the new tissue responsible for increased girth,
particularly sap-conducting tissues, xylem and phloem, and
bark
Slide 40
Complete flower Describes flowers that have all the principal
flower parts, which are carpels, petals, sepals, and stamens
Slide 41
Incomplete flower A flower without one or more of the normal
parts, as carpels, sepals, petals, pistils, or stamens.
Slide 42
Pistil The female part of a flower
Slide 43

Stamen
Slide 48
Anther the top part of a stamen of a flower that contains
pollen
Slide 49
Filament
Slide 50
Pollen A powdery substance produced by flowering plants that
contains male reproductive cells. It is carried by wind and insects
to other plants, which it fertilizes
Slide 51
Seed A small hard part produced by a plant that can grow into a
new plant of the same type
Slide 52
Embryo
Slide 53
Seed coat a plant part produced by sexual reproduction that
contains the embryo and gives rise to a new individual. In
flowering plants it is enclosed within the fruit.
Slide 54
Endosperm the tissue that surrounds the embryo inside a plant
seed and provides nourishment for it
Slide 55
Leaves flat green parts that grow in various shapes from the
stems or branches of a plant or tree and whose main function is
photosynthesis
Slide 56
Chloroplast a membranous sac plastid that contains chlorophyll
and other pigments and is the place where photosynthesis occurs
within the cells of plants and algae. While plant cells contain
numerous chloroplasts, algal cells often have just one. Each
consists of interconnected stacks of disk-shaped membranes in
fluid, surrounded by a double membrane.
Slide 57
Sepal a modified leaf in the outermost whorl calyx of a flower
that encloses the petals and other parts
Slide 58
Receptacle
Slide 59
Transpiration the process in which water that has traveled from
the roots of a plant up to its leaves passes out into the air as
vapor
