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