science word puzzle.
Across
- 3. growing toward or away from light is phototropism, light sensing chemicals in plants helps detect light
- 6. immature diploid plant that develops from the zygote
- 7. energy storage molecule
- 10. female reproductive structure of a plant of a seed plant where the haploid egg develops
- 11. requires two parent organisms, when a plant's sperm combines with a plant's egg, zygote then grows into a new plant with genetic combination from both parents.
- 13. stimulate the ripening of fruit
- 15. when a portion of a plant develops into a separate new plant, new plant is genetically identical to the parent plant
- 16. that increase rate of cell division and cell elongation
- 17. occurs when pollen grain lands on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species.
- 18. daughter cells produced from haploid structures
- 19. flower when exposed to light less than 10-12 hours of darkness.
- 20. flowerless and flowering
- 21. made up of embryo, its food supply and a protective covering.
Down
- 1. flowering not affected by hours of darkness.
- 2. any changes in an organism's environment that cause a response
- 4. ethylene
- 5. orms from tissue in male reproductive structure of a seed plant
- 8. response of a plant to touch is called thigmotropism, tendrils on a vine show positive, roots show negative.
- 9. substances that act as chemical messengers within plants
- 12. reproduction, most land plant grow from seeds
- 14. require 12 or more hours of darkness for flowering, poinsettia.
