Across
  1. 2. A decrease in ____________ reduces the concentration of water molecules outside the leaf, so the rate of diffusion of water from inside the leaf to outside increases
  2. 3. function is to anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals
  3. 6. the evaporation of water at the surfaces of the spongy mesophyll cells in leaves, followed by loss of water vapour through the stomata
  4. 7. this root systems system has a main root that grows down vertically, and from which many smaller lateral roots arise
  5. 8. primarily transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant
  6. 9. transports organic substances, such as sugars produced during photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
  7. 10. higher water concentration outside the cell moves to a lower water concentration inside the cell.
Down
  1. 1. movement of substances against their concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration) using cellular energy
  2. 4. movement of substances down their concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) without using cellular energy.
  3. 5. consist of many small roots
