  2. Photosynthesis • The process by which plants and some other organisms capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water

  3. Petal • Petals are used to attract insects into the flower, they may have guidelines on them and be scented.

  4. Stigma • Is covered in a sticky substance that the pollen grains will adhere to.

  5. Style • Raises the stigma away from the Ovary to decrease the likelihood of pollen contamination. It varies in length.

  6. Ovary • This protects the ovule and once fertilization has taken place it will become the fruit.

  7. Ovule • like the egg in animals and once fertilization has taken place will become the seed.

  8. Receptacle • the flower's attachment to the stalk and in some cases becomes part of the fruit after fertilization e.g. strawberry.

  9. Flower Stalk • Gives support to the flower and elevates the flower for the insects.

  10. Nectary • where a sugary solution called nectar is held to attract insects.

  11. Sepal • protect the flower while it is developing from a bud.

  12. Filament • This is the stalk of the Anther.

  13. Anther • Contains pollen sacs that release pollen onto the outside of the anther to be picked up by insects or the wind and carried to the stigma.

  14. Chloroplast • A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food

  15. Cuticle • The waxy, waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants

  16. Vascular Plant • A plant that has true vascular tissue

  17. Nonvascular Plant • A low-growing plant that lacks true vascular tissue

  18. Chlorophyll • A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria

  19. Accessory Pigment • A pigment other than chlorophyll found in plant cells

  20. Rhizoid • A thin, rootlike structure that anchors a moss and absorbs water and nutrients for the plant

  21. Vascular Tissue • The internal transporting tissue in some plants that is made up of tubelike structures
