1. Basic Structures of a Flowering Plant Roots:The plant part that grows underground secures the plant in place absorbs water and minerals from soil acts as a storage organ to store food. Stems:The structure of a plant that provides support to the plant and carries water and nutrients throughout the plant through the Xylem

2. Basic Structures of a Flowering Plant Leaves: A usually green, flattened, lateral structure attached to a stem Function: organ for photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration. Stomata – opening in leaves that allow gases and water to enter and exit the plant. Fruit: A structure of a flowering plant that forms seeds inside or on its surface provide nutrients to the seeds tempt animals to eat them so the seeds will be carried away to new areas.

3. Basic Structures of a Flowering Plant Seeds: The small structures of a plant that allow a plant to spread to new areas grow into new plants once it gets into the soil. Flowers: The structure of a flowering plant that allows it to reproduce through pollination and seed production.

4. Basic Structures of Flowering Plants What role do they play in survival, reproduction, and defense of plants: Roots? Support and storage (D&S) Stems? Support and transport H2O (D&S) Fruit? Reproduction Flowers? Reproduction Seeds? Reproduction Leaves? Survival - Photosynthesis, Respiration and Transpiration.

6. Plant Reproduction – Structures of a Flower Flowers function in reproduction through the process of pollination and seed production. Flower have both male and female reproductive structures.

7. Plant Reproductive Structures Male Structures: Stamen:The male reproductive parts of a flower which include the Anther and the filament. Anther: The part of the stamen which produces and contains the pollen. Filament: the structure that holds and supports the Anther.

8. Plant Reproductive Structures Female Structures: Pistil:The female structures of a flowering plant that contain the stigma, style, ovary, and ovule. Stigma:The top part/opening of the pistil that receives pollen for germination. Style:The tube of the pistil that carries pollen to the ovary.

9. Plant Reproductive Structures Female Structures: Ovary: The enlarged portion of the pistil that produces the ovules and matures into a fruit Ovule:The egg of a flowering plant that is fertilized by pollen and matures into a seed.
