Across
  1. 3. vascular tissue that transports water and minerals through a plant
  2. 7. the loss of water vapour from a plant through its leaves
  3. 10. a horizontal underground stem that can produce new shoots and roots
  4. 11. a mutualistic association between fungi and plant roots that helps nutrient absorption
  5. 12. tiny pores in leaves that control gas exchange and water loss
  6. 13. plants that live for more than two years and regrow each season
  7. 15. leaf like structures that protect the flower bud before it opens
  8. 19. swollen underground storage organs such as potatoes
  9. 21. transport system in plants made of xylem and phloem
  10. 22. small swellings on roots where nitrogen fixing bacteria live
  11. 23. process by which plants make glucose using light energy
  12. 25. plants such as peas and beans that often host nitrogen fixing bacteria
Down
  1. 1. layer of leaf cells packed with chloroplasts where most photosynthesis occurs
  2. 2. desert plants adapted to store water and reduce water loss
  3. 4. a layer of cells that covers body surfaces and lines organs
  4. 5. organism or flower that has both male and female reproductive organs
  5. 6. plant structure that anchors the plant and absorbs water and minerals
  6. 8. a close relationship between two different organisms living together
  7. 9. plant structures that can grow into new plants
  8. 14. a carbohydrate used by plants to store energy
  9. 16. plant organ adapted for photosynthesis and gas exchange
  10. 17. reproductive structure of a plant that produces seeds
  11. 18. structure that develops from a flower and contains seeds
  12. 20. the above ground part of a plant including stems and leaves
  13. 23. vascular tissue that transports sugars around a plant
  14. 24. the male reproductive part of a flower that produces pollen
