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