46
Conducts most of the water and minerals
Xylem
47
Distributes sugars, amino acids, and other organic compounds.
Phloem
48
-Most abundant and widely distributed plants. - Flowering Plants -Bears fruit to protect their seeds.
Angiosperms
49
-Cone Bearing plants - have "naked seeds" - seeds are not enclosed by fruit
Gymnosperms
50
Reproductive organ of flowering plant.
Flower
51
Transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of the flower.

52
Types of pollination
Cross pollination and self-pollination
53
Pollination from same flower
Self-pollination
54
Pollination From one plant to another plant
Cross pollination
55
Collectively called the "CALYX" protects the flower bud before it opens.
Sepals
56
Collectively called the " COROLLA" -often attracts a particular pollinator.
Petals
57
Male part of the flower
Stamen
58
Parts of male part of the flower.
Anther, filament, pollen grains
59
A sac-like container.
Anther
60
A slender stalk, male part of the flower.
Filament
61
Male part of the flower develops from microspores produced in the anther.
Pollen Grains
62

Ovule
65
Becomes the fruit
Ovary.
66
Is instrumental in the distribution of seeds.
Fruit
67
Vegetative reproduction
Asexual reproduction
68
Horizontal stems, new roots and shoots develop at the node. Also known as stolon.
Runners
69
Examples: strawberry, Bermuda grass, bamboo grass
Runners
70
Underground stems that store food for the plant, the " eyes" are the stems nodes, and each eye contains a cluster of buds. Example: Potato
Tubers
71
They grow as horizontal underground stems from plant to plant. Some are compressed and fleshy. Examples: Ginger
Rhizomes
72
Which are shortened, compressed underground stems surrounded by fleshy scales (leaves) that envelop a central bud at the top of the stem. Examples: Garlic and Onion
Bulbs
73
Another kind of underground stems, are shaped like bulbs, do not contain fleshy scales, solid, swollen stem with dry, scale-like leaves.
Corns
74
Carrots, sweet potatoes (camote) and cassava are it's examples.
