annual plant - Answers cycle completed in a single season
cycle - Answers from seed germination to mature plant producing seeds
biennial plants - Answers cycle completed in two growing seasons
perennial plants - Answers cycle takes several to many growing seasons, or plant produces flowers on
new growth, while other plant parts persist indefinitely
dicots - Answers Magnoliopsida; two cotyledons; flower parts in multiples of four or five; leaves with
distinct network of veins; vascular cambium and cork cambium present; vascular bundles of stem in ring;
pollen grains with three apertures
monocots - Answers liliopsida; one cotyledon; flower parts in multiples of three; leaves with parallel

grains with one aperture
embryonic primordium - Answers what a flower begins as
bud - Answers what the embryonic primordium develops into
receptale - Answers swollen end of peduncle or pedicel
sepal - Answers outermost whorl; collectively referred to as calyx; protects flower while in bud
petal - Answers next whorl inside sepals; collectively referred to as corolla
showy corrollas - Answers attract pollinators
inconspicuous corrollas - Answers many trees, weeds, grasses, wind-pollinated plants
perianth - Answers formed by calyx and corolla; monocots
