  3. 10. a slender threadlike object or fiber, especially one found in animal or plant structures
  4. 13. the base of the style, which contains one or more ovules
  5. 14. hormones that generally increase plant growth
  6. 17. when a plant's sperm and a plant's egg combine to create offspring
  7. 18. hormone that increases the rate of cell division, and in some cases can slow the aging process of flowers and fruits

  12. 26. daughter cells produced from haploid structures
  13. 27. the part of a stamen that contains the pollen
  14. 28. a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen
  15. 29. occurs when pollen grains land on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species as the pollen grains
Down
  1. 1. plants that require 12 or more hours of darkness to flower
  2. 2. when a portion of a plant separates into a new plant, creating a genetically identical offspring
  3. 4. the growth of a plant towards light
  4. 5. a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP
  5. 6. hormones that increase the rate of cell division and cell elongation
  6. 8. occurs when the life cycle of an organism alternates between diploid and haploid generations
  7. 9. immature diploid plant that develops from the zygote
