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