  4. 9. cells in the middle of the leaf that are major sites of photosynthesis
  5. 11. where ovules are produced
  6. 13. holds up the leaves and carries sugars and water
  7. 14. holes on the surface of a leaf to control gas exchange

  1. 1. carries water and minerals from the soil upwards towards other parts of the plant
  2. 2. bundle contains xylem, phloem and cambium tissue
  3. 4. how plants give off water
  4. 6. needed for photosynthesis
  5. 7. produces seeds by sexual reproduction
  6. 10. carries sugar solution from leaves to areas of the plant that cannot produce their own food

  8. 15. cells these control the opening and closing of stomates
  9. 17. supports the anther
