PLANTS, ATP ,PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Across
- 1. A protective structure at the tip of a root that helps it penetrate soil.
- 3. The sticky surface at the top of the pistil that captures pollen.
- 6. Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
- 9. The primary site of photosynthesis and gas exchange in most plants.
- 10. An organism that produces its own food.
- 11. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
- 13. The part of the pistil that contains ovules and develops into fruit after fertilization.
- 15. A substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 17. The movement of energy from one molecule to another.
- 18. The biological process by which new individual organisms are produced.
- 21. A chemical element essential for life and part of ATP.
- 23. Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
- 28. A part of ATP involved in energy transfer.
- 30. Small openings on leaf surfaces that allow gas exchange.
- 31. Tissue with actively dividing cells responsible for plant growth.
- 32. Mature ovaries of flowers that contain seeds.
- 34. A plant embryo enclosed in a protective covering, often with stored food.
- 35. Tissue that transports water, minerals, and sugars throughout the plant.
- 37. The male gamete in plants, found in pollen grains.
- 38. Tiny extensions of root cells that increase surface area for absorption.
- 39. Reproductive structures of angiosperms that produce seeds.
- 40. The female gamete in plants, located within the ovule.
- 44. A substance that gives color and absorbs light.
- 45. A lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP.
Down
- 2. The process by which water evaporates from plant leaves, helping with nutrient transport and cooling.
- 4. The outer protective layer of a plant, including the epidermis.
- 5. The stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary in the pistil.
- 7. An organism that consumes other organisms for food.
- 8. Leaf-like structures that protect the developing flower bud.
- 12. A non-flowering plant that produces seeds exposed on cones.
- 14. A molecule that carries energy within cells.
- 16. The stalk that supports the anther in the stamen.
- 19. A layer of actively dividing cells between xylem and phloem that contributes to secondary growth.
- 20. Vascular tissue that transports sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant.
- 22. Underground plant structures that absorb water and nutrients and anchor the plant.
- 24. Often colorful parts of a flower that attract pollinators.
- 25. Cells that surround stomata and regulate their opening and closing.
- 26. The male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the anther and filament.
- 27. Process by which plants make food using sunlight.
- 29. A flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed within a fruit.
- 33. Support structures that transport water, nutrients, and sugars between roots and leaves.
- 36. A substance that starts a chemical reaction.
- 41. Tissue involved in photosynthesis, storage, and support.
- 42. The female reproductive part of a flower, including the stigma, style, and ovary.
- 43. The part of the stamen that produces and releases pollen.
