Across
  1. 1. a growth response whereby plants grow towards or away from light.
  2. 4. an essential catalyst for photosynthesis.
  3. 7. the meristematic tissue which is the site of primary growth.
  4. 9. the process which involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
  5. 11. the site of photosynthesis in a plant cell.
  6. 13. a hormone that causes cells to elongate and thus drives plant tropisms.
  7. 14. the process where water moves up the plant against gravity.
  8. 19. an organelle that is enlarged in plant cells and holds water/dissolved trace minerals.
  9. 20. trace mineral needed for protein structure and DNA synthesis.
  10. 21. the vascular tissue in plants which conducts water and dissolved nutrients upwards from the root.
  11. 22. a growth response whereby plants grow towards or away from gravity.
  12. 23. a key product of cellular respiration - without this growth cannot occur.
  13. 24. a type of reproduction that only requires one individual.
  14. 25. movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
  15. 28. a key product of photosynthesis.
  16. 29. the vascular tissue in plants which conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves.
  17. 30. this might happen to enzymes if they are heated up too much or if they are put in the incorrect pH.
  18. 31. if this decreases too much photosynthesis and ultimately growth will occur very slowly.
Down
  1. 2. a process whereby pollen from one flowers anther is transferred to the stigma of another flower.
  2. 3. the site of cellular respiration in a cell.
  3. 5. the process whereby the embryonic plant emerges from the seed.
  4. 6. the meristematic tissue which is the site of secondary growth.
  5. 8. the third stage of primary growth.
  6. 10. the requirements for successful germination.
  7. 12. the prefix for water.
  8. 15. the embryonic shoot.
  9. 16. the prefix for touch.
  10. 17. the protective coating of a seed.
  11. 18. an important structure in a flower that makes nectar.
  12. 26. a type of growth in plants that creates rings.
  13. 27. a type of cell found in a leaf which contains lots of chloroplasts.
