Photoautotroph- An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances using light as an energy source.

Green plants and photosynthetic bacteria are photoautotrophs. Angiosperm- a plant having its seeds enclosed in an ovary; a flowering plant. Structures that keep a plant standing straight- lignin, pectin and cellulose. If the cell wall is really rigid, this means the main ingredient is cellulose, the plant will stand straight even if the cells die. Structures in the stem- Pitch and Cortex; these are both supporting tissues, although in some plants the pitch doesnt play any role. Epidermis. Xylem transports water up and phloem transports water back also called translocation. Cambium produces the phloem and xylem, it functions like the basal layer in the skin, pushing cell inwards (making new xylem) and outwards (making new phloem). Wood- In trees, the older xylem cells die and are pushed further to the inside into a rigid, solid structure we call wood. Cork- The outer bark of an oak tree. Four forces: Root pressure (created by osmosis), cohesion, adhesion and evaporation or transpiration, these forces are used to get the water at the top of a tree. Stomata- Stomata needs to be able to open and close to let water in and out. Photosynthesis- Light is needed, because then the water can be broken down. The oxygen diffuses from the leaf, while the hydrogen and the carbon dioxide react, forming glucoses. The symbol equation for photosynthesis is 6 H2O + 6 CO2 C6H12O6 + 6 O2 . Glucose- Its transported to the mitochondria and use it for aerobic respiration. It can also be turned into sucrose, which is then transported to all living cells, which provides them of energy to function. Minerals- Needed for the plant, because if nitrates from the soil (containing nitrogen) and minerals, such as magnesium are mixed together, they can form proteins. Flower- A flower is used for reproduction. There are seeds found in flowers. Male parts of a flower- Connective, pollen sack, anther, pollen grain, filament. Male reproduction cells- The male gametes (reproduction cells) are called pollen grains. Female parts of a flower- Ovary, ovule, stigma, style. Ovary and ovule together are called the carpel. Stigma, style and the ovary together form the pistil. Asexual parts of a flower- Pedicel is the spot on a branch where the flower starts to grow. It attaches the flower to the branch. Floral axis is the very rigid middle to support the whole thing. Nectaries are special spots in some flowers where nectar is made. They can be found on the bottom of the flower. Sepals and all the sepals together are called the calyx. Petals are special leaves that surround the male and female parts. All petals together are called the corolla. Monoecious and dioecious- Monoecious are plants that are male and female at the same time and dioecious plants are plants that only have one sexe. Pollen tubes- The protoplasmic tube that is extruded from a germinating pollen grain and grows toward the ovule. Pollination- The transfer of the pollen from the anther to the stigma. Seed- The fertilized, matured ovule of a flowering plant, containing an embryo or rudimentary plant. The components are an embryo, supply of nutrients for the embryo and a seed coat. Fruit- The developed ovary of a seed plants with its contents and accessory parts, as the pea pod, nut, tomato, pineapple, apple, cherry.
