Front 1

Photosynthesis

Back 1

Process by which autotrophs such as algae and plants, trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars

Front 2

Vascular Plant

Back 2

Plants that have vascular tissue that enables taller growth and survival on land.

Front 3

Non Vascular Plant

Back 3

Plant that do not have vascular tissue.

Front 4

Lichen

Back 4

Organism formed from a symbiotic relationship between fungus

Front 5

Leaf

Back 5

Plant organism that grows from a stem in which photosynthesis usually occurs.

Front 6

Root

Back 6

Plant organism that absorbs water and mineral from soil

Front 7

Stem

Back 7

Photoperiodism

Back 22

flowering plants response to differences in the length of day and night.

Front 23

Grafting

Back 23

to unite a shoot or bud with a growing plant by insertion or by placing by close contact.

Front 24

Pollen

Back 24

Structure in which the male gametophyte develops; consists of sperm cells, nutrients and a protective outer covering.

Front 25

Hyphae

Back 25
