Seeds

• Needed for survival and reproduction
• Female part of a plant that produces ovules (an ovule becomes a seed)
• Fine powder produced by certain plants when they reproduce
• Used for the process of reproduction
• Becomes a fruit

Spores

• Dust like particles that are carried by wind and water to new locations (helps with reproduction).
• Fine powder produced by certain plants when they reproduce
• Becomes a fruit
• Needed for survival and reproduction
• Provide structure and support for the plant

Flowers/cones

• Used for the process of reproduction
• Absorb and transport water/ nutrients to the stem/leaves and anchor the plant
• Needed for survival and reproduction
• Becomes a fruit
• Inside the leaves is where microscopic structures (chloroplasts inside of the chlorophyll which makes plants green) are in charge of converting sunlight into energy (like solar panels!) FOOD PRODUCTION!

Fertilization

• Seed production
• Used for the process of reproduction
• The transfer of pollen from the male parts (stamens) to the female parts (pistils) of a flower
• The sprouting of a plant from a seed
• The transport of seed from one location to another

Ovary
