  1. 4. Waxy coating on the external side of leaves that serves to prevent excessive water loss from leaf tissues
  2. 6. Single leaf blade and petiole
  3. 8. The large flat structure of the leaf that is designed to capture the greatest amount of light (photosynthesis)
  4. 10. The leaf stem or stalk
  5. 11. The loss of water from the plant through the leaves in the form of water vapor

Down
  1. 1. The outer edge of the leaf blade
  2. 2. A bud located at the base of the entire leaf
  3. 3. The tip of the leaf
  4. 5. The part of the blade that is attached to the petiole
  5. 7. Wax or hairs that cover leaf and prevent water loss
  6. 9. Three or more leaves and buds arise from the same point on the stem
  7. 12. Tiny pores through which gases and water vapor pass in/out of the leaf
  8. 13. Leaves and buds are alternated or staggered along the stem
  9. 14. Leaf arrangement where two leaves and buds are directly across from each other.
