BULB is an underground stem, usually globular, that has fleshy leaves emerg<strong>in</strong>g from<br />
the top and roots emerg<strong>in</strong>g from the bottom. The fleshy leaves store food. Examples<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude the tulip, narcissus, and onion. Refer to Figure 4.<br />
BULBEL (also called a bulbet) is a small bulb that grows from<br />
another bulb. This is an example of vegetative propagation.<br />
CALYX is the sepal of a flower. Refer to Figure 2.<br />
CAPSULE<br />
A capsule is a seed pod that opens when it is dry and the seeds are<br />
mature.<br />
CARBON DIOXIDE CO 2 , is a molecule that has one carbon atom<br />
and two oxygen atoms; it is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.<br />
Plants use carbon dioxide gas <strong>in</strong> the photosynthetic process.<br />

CARNIVORES are animals that eat meat. They usually have sharp teeth and powerful<br />
jaws.<br />
CASPARIAN STRIP is waxy layer (a band of suber<strong>in</strong>, a waterproof<strong>in</strong>g<br />
material) that is located <strong>in</strong> the walls of plant root cells. This barrier strip stops<br />
the transport of water and m<strong>in</strong>erals <strong>in</strong>to the ma<strong>in</strong> vascular system of the root.<br />
CEREAL is a gra<strong>in</strong> that is used for human food. Some cereals <strong>in</strong>clude rice, oats, wheat,<br />

certified by a recognized authority to be free of or to conta<strong>in</strong> less than a m<strong>in</strong>imum<br />
number of specified pests or pathogens.<br />
CHLOROPHYLL is a molecule that can use light energy from sunlight to turn water<br />
and carbon dioxide gas <strong>in</strong>to sugar and oxygen (this process is called photosynthesis).<br />
Chlorophyll is magnesium based and is usually green.<br />
COLEOPTILE is a protective sheath that surrounds the shoot tip and the embryonic<br />
leaves of the young shoot of grasses.<br />
COMPLETE FLOWER has a stamen, a pistil, petals, and sepals.<br />
COROLLA consists of the petals of a flower.<br />

cotyledon is the first leaf to grow. Monocots have one cotyledon; dicots have two<br />
cotyledons.<br />
CROSS-POLLINATION is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a<br />
flower on a different plant.
