GR. 11 LIFE SCIENCES APRIL 2022
Across
- 6. Curved cells containing chloroplasts that surround a stoma. These cells open and close the stomata(pores)
- 8. Inner tissue (parenchyma) of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts. These cells are loosely packed and have many air spaces between them
- 9. Space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
- 12. A dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material.
- 13. Stored carbohydrate found in plants
- 14. Vascular tissue in plants which conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves.
- 15. Photosynthesizing cells containing chloroplasts Plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 16. An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the cellular respiration and energy production occur.
Down
- 1. A protective and waxy layer covering the epidermis of a plant
- 2. A layer of tall, thin cells containing many chloroplasts found under the upper epidermis of the leaf
- 3. Transparent cells found in the outer layer of a plant organ. These cells do not contain chloroplasts.
- 4. A simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
- 5. Strand of conducting vessels in the stem or leaves of a plant, typically with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside.
- 7. Opening in the surface of leaves that allows gases to move in and out of the leaf
- 10. A large group of organic compounds found in cells, including glucose, sucrose, and starch.
- 11. A plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
