what are the 3 parts of a seed?
seed coat,embryo,endosperm
tough outer layer that proctects the embryo
seed coat
the baby plant
embryo
endosperm
baby food for the embryo
transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots up to the leaves
xylem
transports food (SUGAR) up or down the plants to where it is needed
phloem
open and close to regulate gas exchange hot= closed cool= open
stomata
Co2 + H2o + sun + O2 + C6H12O6
photosynthesis equation
O2 + C6H12O6+ H2O + Co2+ energy
cellular respiration equation
osmosis
high concentration to low concentration , water, no energy needed
all types of substances ( nutrients) high to low consentration no energy needed
diffusion
mineral ion / large molecules low to high consentration lots of energy
active transport
root
absorbs water and dissloved nutrients from the soil keeps the plant in place
stem
supports leaves and reproductive system
protects developing seeds
fruits
leaf
performs photosynthesis and gas exchange
flower
attracts pollinators contains the male and female reproduction structure
stamen
male parts
produces pollen
anther
supports anther
filament
modified leaves that have unique shapes and color to attract polinators
petal
speal
protects flower before it opens
stick bulb that catches pollen grains
stigma
style
passageway for pollen
