PLANT ADAPTATION
Across
- 2. It has an epidermis that is several layers thick for retaining moisture.
- 5. It means wreath and distinct in C4 plants.
- 6. The leaf structure where photosynthesis occurs.
- 7. A flattened stem capable of photosynthesis.
- 8. An evolutionary process that enhances the survivability and fits an organism to their environment.
- 12. Spatial separation
- 16. A wasteful process that converts oxygen into a product useful in photosynthesis.
- 17. Specialized leaves that arose in some plant species due to the low presence of nutrients in the soil of their environment.
- 18. A six-carbon compound that is the ultimate product of photosynthesis.
- 19. The first product of carbon fixation is a three-carbon compound.
Down
- 1. An organic acid that is the first stable product in C4 and CAM photosynthesis.
- 3. Specialized roots that enhance the exchange of gases in subsurface roots.
- 4. Temporal separation
- 9. Are modified leaves that allows climbing and provides support for the stem.
- 10. Formed from the association of legumes and bacteria.
- 11. A compound that combines with CO2 in C4 and CAM photosynthesis.
- 12. A fleshy stem with scalelike covering it, they function for food storage.
- 13. A part of the electromagnetic spectrum that flowers use to guide insects.
- 14. A family of plants capable of CAM photosynthesis.
- 15. Functioning for food-storage, a horizontal stem growing below the ground or near the surface.
