2. transports water up from the roots to the leaves
3. these cells found packed in the leaf are the main site of photosynthesis
6. a strong, structural carbohydrate that is found in all vascular plants
8. the type of cells that regulate the opening and closing of leaf pores
11. this process uses draws water up from the roots to the leaves
12. one of three "ingredients" needed for photosynthesis
14. flowering plants that make seeds and fruits

18. the simplest land plants that lack vascular tissue
19. a waxy layer on leaves that helps with water retention
20. the characteristic on a cladogram or phylogentic tree that is found in all members except the outgroup (two words)

1. ferns that have vascular tissue and reproduce using sperm with flagella
4. letter B in the leaf cross section diagram
5. transports glucose from the leaves to the roots

9. A and D on the leaf cross section diagram compose a leaf structure called a _____________________.(two words)
10. the type of mesophyll found at letter G in the leaf cross section picture
13. the main function of the leaf
14. water molecules stick to the sides of xylem due to this sticky attraction
