14.1-.2 Kingdom Plantae & The Structure of Plants
Across
- 5. A layer of meristematic cells located between the xylem and phloem in the woody stems of plants.
- 6. A plant reproductive strategy that includes alternating spore-forming and gamete-forming stages.
- 8. Any of the tissues that do not consist of dermal nor vascular tissue.
- 14. Any plant lacking tissues that can transport water.
- 15. A layer of meristematic cells that replace the epidermis in woody plant stems.
- 17. The type of vascular tissue in plants that transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
- 19. The spongy ground tissue located in the center of a plant stem.
- 20. The point on a plant stem where leaves are produced.
- 21. Undifferentiated cells found in the fast-growing parts of plants, such as root tips and new leaves.
- 23. A plant that produces flowers and fruits.
- 25. The waxy protective coating secreted by a plant's epidermal cells on the surface of plant stems, leaves, and fruits.
- 26. A plant that produces unenclosed seeds, usually in cones.
- 27. In plants, the tissue that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.
- 28. The broad part of a plant leaf.
Down
- 1. The primary structural compound in plant cell walls, composed of long chains of glucose molecules.
- 2. A root system consisting of many small roots that come directly from a stem.
- 3. cell A modified epidermal cell that opens and closes stomata in the leaves of plants.
- 4. A root system consisting of a large, main root (the taproot), from which smaller roots branch.
- 7. A visible ring caused by yearly growth in the vascular cambium and seen in a cross-section of a woody stem.
- 9. An area of porous tissue in the surface of a woody plant stem that allows for gas exchange with the environment.
- 10. In plants, the type of vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
- 11. The region between nodes on a plant stem.
- 12. A small opening in the undersides of leaves that regulates gas exchange.
- 13. A nonvascular plant including mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.
- 16. In woody plants, a thick, tough layer of dead epidermal cells that support the weight of the plant.
- 18. In plants, the outer layer of cells that usually lack chlorophyll and serve for protection, including the secretion of the cuticle.
- 19. The small stalk that connects a leaf to the stem of a plant.
- 22. A plant having tissues capable of transporting water.
- 24. Any of the tissues that form the outer layer of a plant or other organism.
- 28. An undeveloped shoot located at a node on a plant stem.
