Actin is a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells. It is also one of the most highly-conserved proteins. Actin is also the monomeric subunit of two types of filaments, microfilaments and thin filaments.
Lignin is a complex chemical compound most commonly derived from wood, and an integral part of the secondary cell walls of plants and some algae. It is one of the most abundant organic polymers on Earth. Its function is the support through strengthening of wood in trees.
Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate growth and influence various developmental processes, including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression, enzyme induction, and leaf and fruit senescence. Without gibberellins plants would be growing, flowing, and reproducing out of control.
Meristem is the tissue in most plants consisting of undifferentiated cells. It keeps the plant growing.
Bryophyte is a traditional name used to refer to all embryophytes (land plants) that do not have true vascular tissue and are therefore called non-vascular plants.
Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5), a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes.
Short-day Plants form flowers when the days become shorter than a critical length. Short-day plants bloom in late summer or autumn in middle latitudes
Long-day Plants form flowers when the days become longer than a critical length. Long-day plants bloom in spring and early summer.
Vascular Plant Tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues transport fluid and nutrients internally.
Tendril of a Plantis a specialized stem, leaf or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support and attachment, generally by twining around whatever it touches. They go through photosynthesis. They can be formed from modified

shoots, leaves, or auxiliary branches.
Pollenis a fine to coarse powder, which produces the male gametes (sperm cells). When pollen lands on a compatible flowering plant, it germinates and transfers the sperm to a receptive ovary. Plants cannot reproduce without pollen.
12. Fruit dry with seed such as those produced by non-flowering plants. As the ovules develop into seeds, the ovary begins to ripen and the ovary wall, the pericarp, may form a hard outer covering (as in nuts) 13. Anther & Filament of Stamen Stamen is the male organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and usually a filament Anther is the part of a stamen, consisting of one or usually two pollen sacs (and a connecting layer between them), which bears the pollen Filament is the stalk of a stamen, which is the part that supports the anther 14. Phloem, in vascular plants, is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients in particular, glucose, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark. The phloem is concerned mainly with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. This is called translocation. 15. Thorn of a plant - A modified branch in the form of a sharp, woody spine. It protects the plant from predators that want to eat it. 16. Frond refers to a large, divided leaf. Fronds, like all leaves, usually have a stalk called the petiole supporting a flattened blade, called a lamina. However, fronds are often described using distinctively different terms. The blades may be simple (undivided), pinnatified (deeply incised, but not truly compound), pinnate (compound with the leaflets arranged along a rachis to resemble a feather). 17. Deciduous Leaf- Decidous leafs are on trees and shrubs and have seasonal shedding. When photosynthesis is unlikely, like in the winter, deciduous plants shed their leaves in order to conserve energy. 18. Gymnosperms are a group of seed-bearing plants. Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scale- or leaf-like appendages of cones or at the end of short stalks.
19. Fruit fleshy with seed A fruit that contains seeds inside. The fruit is soft or fleshy and the seeds allow the plant to reproduce if buried. 20. Modification of leaves means the plant has something instead of leaves such as needles seen here. They have needles instead to protect themselves from things such as drought or insects.
