Across
- Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are the secondary nutrient elements, so calledbecause they are essential to plant growth in a lesser quantity than the primary nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium, and in greater quantity than the micronutrients.
- N; a gas that occurs naturally in the air and soil, where it is converted into usable forms for plantuse by bacteria and other natural processes. This nutrient is a constituent of proteins and is vital to the plantgrowing processes. Nitrogen can be added to the soil in any of three fertilizer forms as urea, ammonia, ornitrates.
- Mn; a metallic element found in soils from a mere trace to as much as 15 percent, but whenpresent, it is often in forms unavailable to plants. It is regarded as essential to normal plant growth and is oftenapplied, usually as manganous sulfate, to soils deficient in this element.
- Zn; a metallic chemical element, one of the micronutrient elements in soils, essential for both plant andanimal growth.
- P; a chemical element found in soils in various mineral forms, but only small amounts are readily available to plants at any one time. It stimulates early growth and root development, and hastens grain maturity.
- For plants: boron, chlorine, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.
- To check or hinder the growth or development of an animal or plant.
- K; the chemical element, an alkali metal, which occurs widely in minerals. Regarded as an essential plant nutrient, potassium is present naturally in some form in all soils but in extremely variable amounts,and is likely to be in largest amounts in clay soils and in the least amounts in highly silicious soils and in peats.
- Crops such as legumes or grasses that are grown to be plowed or spaded into the soil toincrease humus content and improve soil structure.
- B; an element essential for plant growth. The original source of boron is tourmaline, but availableforms are from soil organic matter.
- Cl; a heavy gas used in very small amounts for the growth of plants.
- Yellowing or whitening of normally green leaves caused by lack of nutrients, air pollution, ordiseases.
- Mg; a white metal, essential for people and animals, and for plant growth because it is aconstituent of chlorophyll.
- Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

- Organic residues or their mixture, such as peat, manure, or discarded plant material and soil,placed in a pit or enclosure, moistened, and allowed to become decomposed. Sometimes lime and chemicalfertilizers are also added. Used as a fertilizer.
- Cu; a metallic element found in soils at 1 to 50 parts per million, and in plants up to 100 parts permillion. It is necessary for all animal and plant life. High soil phosphorus, zinc, and molybdenum can induce acopper deficiency in plants. Also, high copper can reduce plant uptake of phosphorus, iron, zinc, andmolybdenum.
- Any of certain chemical elements necessary in minute quantities for optimum growth anddevelopment of plants and animals.

Chapter 7: Transport in Plants 2020-03-11
Across
- Transport system in plants that carriers substances made by photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts. Moves in many directions.
- The inner tissue of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts.
- Impermeable, waxy substance found in the cell walls of corky tissues
- Tissue made of dead, lignified cells. Adds strength in stems.
- The movement of materials from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
- Outer layer of a stem or root in a plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. Composed mostly of thin-walled parenchyma cells.
- A strong waterproof material found on the walls of vessel element cells.
- Made up of thin-walled cells. Forms the cortex in roots and the pith in stems. Contains chloroplasts in leaves.
- Thin portions of the cell wall that adjacent cells can communicate or exchange fluid through.
- Areas in need of nutrients, such as growing tissues.
Down
- Nutrient rich regions that supply sugars for the rest of the plant. Normally leaves, but stems and roots can act as them when there's a high supply of sugars.
- Modified form of parenchyma with extra cellulose deposited at the corners of the cells.
- A plant which needs very little water, such as a cactus
- Continuous layer on the outside of plants that is one cell thick. Covered in a cuticle on stems and leaves, and contains stomata on leaves.
- A strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside.
- Symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant.
- A one-cell thick layer surrounding the vascular tissue in stems and roots.
- Waxy, protective film covering covering the epidermis on leaves and stems that limits the amount of water that transpires from the plant. Consists of lipids.
- Pores in the epidermis on leaves, which allow entry of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
- Transport system in plants that carriers water and inorganic ions, such as mineral salts, from the roots to parts above. Moves in one direction.
20 Clues: Symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. • Areas in need of nutrients, such as growing tissues. • A plant which needs very little water, such as a cactus • The inner tissue of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts. • Tissue made of dead, lignified cells. Adds strength in stems. • Impermeable, waxy substance found in the cell walls of corky tissues • ...

- Half of the distance from the crest to the trough of a wave.
- Figuring out what went wrong with a soliton and why.
- Letting all light through.
- The process of designing new or improved technology.
- A change in energy from one form to another.
- A plant part that is usually underground and absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
- The part of a plant that makes food using air, light, and water.
- To move back and forth.
- The movement of energy from place to place or from one object to another.
- A real-world limit on a solution.
- Not letting any light through.
- The result of two objects bumping into each other.
- The process when male and female reproductive parts join together.
Down
- The transfer of pollen in flowers or cones.
- A test that does not give any advantage to the conditions or objects being tested.
- The bouncing of light waves when they encounter an obstacle.
- The top part of a wave.
- The ability to do work and cause changes in matter.
- The desired features of a solution.
- The bottom part of a wave.
- Letting some light through.
- The up-and-down movement of a surface water. It can also be a disturbance that carries energy through space.
- The flow of electric charges along a path.
- to make a solution as good as possible.
- The part of a plant that contains a new plant.
- The energy that moves between objects to different temperatures.
- A reproductive structure of some plants, such as mosses and ferns, that can form a new plant.
- How loud or soft a sound is.
- The part of a plant that holds it up and has tubes that carry water, minerals, and nutrients through the plant.
31 Clues: The top part of a wave. • To move back and forth. • The bottom part of a wave. • Letting all light through. • Letting some light through. • How loud or soft a sound is. • Not letting any light through. • A real-world limit on a solution. • The desired features of a solution. • to make a solution as good as possible. • The flow of electric charges along a path. • ...
