Botany Bonus 3
Across
- 2. A tissue type consisting of a column of xylem surrounded by a layer of phloem within the pith, is a common root tissue type.
- 5. A waxy, protective layer formed on the outer epidermal cells, varying between species, environment, and presence on the top or bottom of leaf surfaces.
- 6. Mesophyll Cells, Irregular in shape and arrangement that allow for air spaces which aid in gas circulation.
- 8. Conducting tissue that carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
- 10. A stem bundle and its associated leaf traces, of which may be interconnected or independent, these two are a reflection of the arrangement of leaves found on the stem.
- 11. Ovary is located above the point of attachment of the stamens, leaves, and petals.
- 13. A tissue type consisting of a "hollow" center surrounded by a layer of xylem and then a layer of phloem within the pith.
- 16. Umbrella-like structure that covers clusters of spores that hang down from the underside of fronds.
- 18. A tissue type consisting of many, unevenly arranged bundles, or xylem and phloem, within the pith.
- 19. Tissue type consisting of undifferentiated cells capable of becoming any other cell type that occurs within the plant.
Down
- 1. The ground tissue of leaves that have large volumes of intercellular spaces and an abundance of chloroplasts that make the tissue highly specialized for photosynthesis.
- 2. Conducting tissue that carries products of photosynthesis from the leaves to the roots.
- 3. Bundle, Responsible for mass transport of water and products of photosynthesis, consisting of xylem, phloem, and bundle sheath cells.
- 4. The opening that allows for gas exchange to occur.
- 7. Mesophyll Cells, Columnar cells packed closely together forming 1 or many layers, their chloroplasts are what absorb most of the light for photosynthesis.
- 9. Ovary is located below the point of attachment of the stamens, leaves, and petals.
- 12. Cells, Two "bean-shaped" cells that mediate gas exchange by opening or closing the passage to the stoma.
- 14. Leaves, Smaller, thick leaves that experience high light intensities.
- 15. A tissue type consisting of many, evenly arranged bundles, of xylem and phloem, within the pith.
- 17. Leaves, Large, thin leaves that experience low light intensities.
