Across
  1. 1. A substance that strengthens the walls of certain plant cells, especially in the xylem.
  2. 4. How plants move sugars and other solutes from where they're produced to where they're needed.
  3. 5. Refers to the amount of water vapour present in the air.
  4. 7. Pores on a leaf's surface that allow for the exchange of gases.
  5. 9. The region of active cell division in plants, leading to growth. Where plant stem cells are found.
  6. 11. Responsible for transporting sugars and nutrients throughout the plant.
  7. 13. The passive movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane, from a dilute to a more concentrated solution.
  8. 15. The layer in a leaf where most photosynthesis occurs due to its chloroplast-rich cells.
  9. 16. Part of a phloem cell with many pores, facilitating movement between cells.
  10. 17. Tissue responsible for transporting water in plants, often from roots to leaves.
Down
  1. 1. The brightness of light affecting the rate of photosynthesis in plants.
  2. 2. Specialised for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
  3. 3. The process of water movement through a plant, often resulting in evaporation from leaves.
  4. 6. This part of the leaf has many air gaps, aiding in gas exchange.
  5. 8. Influences the rate of water loss from leaves, impacting transpiration.
  6. 10. The outermost layer of cells in a leaf.
  7. 12. Liquid stored in plant cell vacuoles containing various solutes.
  8. 14. Found surrounding the plant's gas exchange pores.
