The key (for the host: fold this page back)
- B: the roots. A big redwood moves hundreds of gallons of water up its trunk every day.
- A: pollen. When pollen moves between flowers, the plant can make seeds.
- A: nectar. While they sip, pollen sticks to their bodies.
- A: sunlight. A green pigment in each leaf catches the sun's rays and turns them into food.
- B: a tomato seed. From that tiny seed, a redwood can grow taller than a 35-story building.
- C: fungi. Mold and yeast are fungi too.
- A: oxygen. Plants on land and in water both do this while they make their food.
- C: water. All that stored water can make a big saguaro weigh more than 6 tons.
