stamen		the theory that livng things could arise from non-living matter
chlorophyll		sugar produced during photosynthesis
pollen tube		type of reproduction involving the uniting of a sperm and egg
nucleus		the organelles function to transport proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another
sepal		how a bacteriaphage attaches to a bacterium
spores		these make-up the top layer of food-making cells
pistil		this forms when the pollen grain lands on the stigma and is how the sperm gets to the ovary to fertilize the egg
cytoplasm		provide the cell with energy and are known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell
pollination		an offspring created from a piece of the parent, a bud, or when a cell splits into 2 new cells
cell membrane		organelles which function to receive, package, and send out proteins within the cell
filament		scientist credited with disproving the theory that living things could come from non-living material
pseudopod		protects a bud of a plant
egg		specialized plant tissue which transports water and minerals to the leaf for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide		stores water and other substances inside the cell
axon		the sugar that makes up the cell wall
tail fibers		contains a larger vacuole, chloroplasts,
vacuole		non-living but contains DNA
sexual reproduction		when 2 or more organisms live together and both organisms benefit from the relationship and neither organism is harmed
palisade layer		most simple of living things
lysosomes		absorbs light energy to begin a chemical reaction called photosynthesis
asexual reproduction		has pores and allows certain substances to move in and out of the cell
water and carbon dioxide		produce the proteins needed by the cell
cilia		these regulate the opening and closing of stomata
plant cell		false foot
sperm		the "sticky" structure of the female reproductive organ of a flower which "catches" pollen grains

glucose		the process of the sperm and egg unititng
bacteria		the loss of water from a leaf
twenty three		a waxy layer on the top of a leaf whcih prevents water loss
amoeba		openings on the leaf which allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf and oxygen to exit the leaf
endoplasmic reticulum		the male reproductive organ of a flower
zygote		the waste material released from a leaf during the process of photosynthesis
cuticle		organelles which contain chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts, these are known as the "clean-up" parts of the cell
