Definitions from book.

(CHICKEN EGG) Amniotic egg: A shelled egg in which an embryo develops within a fluid-filled amniotic sac and is nourished by yolk. Produced by reptiles (including birds) and egg-laying mammals, it enables them to complete their life cycles on dry land.

(LILY) Anther: In an angiosperm, the terminal pollen sac of a stamen, where pollen grains containing sperm-producing male gametophytes form. Filament: In an angiosperm, the stalk portion of the stamen, the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower.

(ROMA TOMATO) Autotroph: An organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other organisms or substances derived from other organisms. Autotrophs use energy from the sun or from the oxidation of inorganic substances to make organic molecules from inorganic ones.

(FERN) Spore: In the life cycle of a plant or alga undergoing alternation of generations, a haploid cell produced in the sporophyte by meiosis. A spore can divide by mitosis to develop into a multicellular haploid individual, the gametophyte, without fusing with another cell.

(CHESTER) Heterotroph: An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or substances derived from them.

(SOAPY HAND) Epithelial tissue: Sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities as well as external surfaces.
