Mass transport
Across
- 4. Arteries, veins, and capillaries that transport substances like oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose.
- 7. The process of transporting organic substances (sucrose) in the phloem from sources to sinks.
- 9. Protein that transports oxygen, with its affinity dictated by the oxygen dissociation curve.
Down
- 1. Pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity/flow.
- 2. Tissue transporting water and minerals upwards.
- 3. Acts as a pump to generate the pressure gradient.
- 5. Sites of usage or storage (e.g., roots, meristems).
- 6. Cells adjacent to sieve tubes, containing many mitochondria to provide ATP for active transport.
- 8. Sites of production (e.g., leaves photosynthesizing).
